GLTD's

Only used a few times successfully:

Sunday 13 June

Combat Report for this day,

Ground forces consolidate before the final push. At last we mount two successful LGB sorties with LTMs achieving DHs against pin-point enemy positions.

But again gameplay>realism but one less thing to sort out and animate too.

Ye, you can see two paveways on the closest GR3 here:


While dumb bombs where certainly most common, its mainly a gameplay thing. I might do two versions of the GR3, one with LGBs and one with dumb bombs but not 100% on that yet.

Argentina currently also have LGBs in the design plan but only on one jet even thou I'm pretty sure they didn't use them in the war, might swap them out for dumb bombs but might keep them just for gameplay reasons.

If you want hyper realism, read a book.
Gameplay is paramount.

Well not really, I see it more as a placeholder since nothing else wouldn't be possible on the BF2 engine.

What are you guys on about? Are we still talking about LGBs here?

[Pvt.LHeureux]

What are LGBs? I thought the OP was talking about GLTD, as in Ground Target Laser Designator.

[[R-DEV]Rhino]

LGB = Laser Guided Bombs, which can be directed by GLTDs

Ok I see.

I seriously hope we don't get GLTD, I'm afraid it would end up feeling like another round of PR instead of a whole new conflict set in a different time.

Even if only in limited numbers like they where in the real conflict? This is to LGBs than GLTDs btw to stop any confusion. GLTDs will be just as common as they are in normal PR (Officers and snipers getting them) and no guided air to ground missiles either.
