raus Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hi all, Been recently playing with the Harpoon against a single Molniya. I wanted to launch my 4 Harpoons and get each of them arriving from a diferent angle, so I configured 4 Waypoints around the boat, and used them as HPTP for each missile, and then adjusted the final bearing from the HPTP to the boat. The problem is that all 4 missiles got the last HPTP entered. Is this so? Or is it a bug? Can we only have one HPTP at a time, for any harpoon? PS: btw, it took all 4 missiles to sink the boat. If only one was downed, then it would not be enough :O GV5Js DATACARD GENERATOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 HPTP captures the current waypoint at the moment HPTP was boxed for that weapon. What is shown on the HSI is not representative of what happens at launch. waypoint 1 HTPT STEP waypoint 2 HTPT STEP waypoint 3 HTPT STEP waypoint 4 HTPT LAUNCH LAUNCH LAUNCH LAUNCH You'll get missiles traveling toward waypoints 4, 1, 2, 3 in that order. The HSI won't update the display though when stepping stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raus Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Thx!!! You are, indeed, right :) Just made the test and it works. I was being misled by HSI ondications after setting the 4 harpoons up. BR GV5Js DATACARD GENERATOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harker Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The HSI won't update the display though when stepping stations. It should though, right? It should display the path that the currently selected weapon will follow, no? The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.
