Ripcord Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) I didn't think it would work but I tested it out anyway. Sure enough, the Armed House unit will serve just fine as a JTAC. Hell they even marked an APC with willy pete for me! Kinda pleasantly surprised, didn't expect that one to work. The manual says that it simply needs to be an armed unit, so there you go. I thought this might be a nice way to simulate working with special forces on the ground, who are on foot behind the lines..... say in a village somewhere. Heck, maybe I should go as far as testing the Infantry guys, with the M249 and the M4. Might be able to simulate a seal team or group or rangers or something. EDIT: Sure enough, the Infantry Troops will also serve just fine as a JTAC. Didn't mark my APC target like the Armed House did, but still did the job. Learned something today!

HiJack Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Nice find! A building masked by enemy invisibility and immortal would look better in the mission than a JTAC unit close to enemy lines. Must check this out..... (HJ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 My thoughts as well, HJ. Special Forces units can be inserted far behind enemy lines, in places where a regular recon unit in couple of hummers could not reach without detection. And they would not hesitate to call in a pair of A-10s for support as needed. Opens up a lot of fun and realistic CAS mission scenarios in my mind.

Druid_ Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Armed House Armed Barracks Armed Watchtower were left out of 1.2.0. I think it was an oversight and will be back in the next update. i7-7700K : 16Gb DDR4 2800 Mhz : Asus Mobo : 2TB HDD : Intel 520 SSD 240gb : RTX 2080ti: Win10 64pro : Dx10 : TrackiR4 : TM Warthog : ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Crap, i didnt notise that. Oh well, must leave some of my older missions untouched then. Guys, Grimes posted in another thread that this was a known issue and it would be addressed in the next patch. So no worries....

SGT Coyle Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hey guys, I'm new to this game and was wondering if you could use an existing building as the JTAC? Or put some infantry on the roof to act as JTAC? Night Ops in the Harrier IYAOYAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimes Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 You can put infantry on the roof. It is a little tricky with the placement as the infantry will sometime spawn inside the building at certain locations, but it is certainly possible. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.
