Help please - AGM and hitting a moving target


0414 Wee Neal

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I have been honing my ‘kill skills’ with the A10, specifically with AGM (all varieties) and CBU bombs. The problem I have is hitting/tracking a moving target - I cant seem to do it!

 

I start off by getting systems ready and then finding a target with TGP - Up short to point mode and then slave TGP and Mav to target- obtain lock and fire. With a stationery target great kills.

 

When I then start an orbit to find targets say a moving column, I select a target with point mode as above fire the Mav and........invariably it misses!!

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Help

Hi

 

Yes achieve a lock with the ‘Gate’ closing on the target and flashing cross hairs and within the distance ladder on the hud and.........a big crater appears behind the target!

 

I will try and take a picture of MFD page, If I can figure out how.

 

Thanks

Are you hitting TMS UP LONG with TGP as SOI in order to make the TGP SPI?

 

Bottom left corner of the HUD will confirm what is SPI.

 

And you’re sure you’re not locking onto a telephone pole or light pole (which often happens)

Point mode is great for moving targets. The track mode will help keep an updating SPI on the target.

 

When attempting to lock on with the MAV, make sure you are getting a clean track by getting a lock through TMS up short only, not force correlate (rocking the boat switch).

Flashing crosshair on the Maverick display generally means you are not in launch parameters. Try to get the cross close to the center of the Maverick display until the cross is not flashing.
