Eagle7907 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hey all, I had another interesting find on OB the other day. I was doing a mission I created where I can attack moving ground targets using LGBs and Mavericks and a TGP. When over a waypoint the distance to where the convoy is moving is about 20 miles away. When I acquired the convoy on the TGP on the right DDI with the Mavericks video on left DDI, at great distance the cameras are not looking at the same point. I had the TGP zoomed in as far as it would go on a tank, but the Maverick would be looking slightly away from the convoy and to the right. I had to undesignated and designate again when closer because I couldn’t get the Mav to lock. (Standby for images and track.)

Swift. Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Afaik Mavs dont slave to the FLIR itself but they slave to the TGT created by the FLIR, so if the targets are moving the Mavs will only point at the position they were when you created the TGT. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle7907 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Mavericks slaved with Tpod Afaik Mavs dont slave to the FLIR itself but they slave to the TGT created by the FLIR, so if the targets are moving the Mavs will only point at the position they were when you created the TGT. Hey swift. I understand if that is the case and you may be right. But when this happened it was instantaneous. The “points”were way off by a pretty big margin for targeting. It’s not like I designated and waited a minute to slave the maverick. That also doesn’t account for when I undesignated waiting to get closer then designate again and they both matched.

Sephroth Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I have the same problem in the Hornet with stationary targets. Get a static tank on the TGP, uncage the Maverick and it's off by 50 feet and I can't get it to lock the target.

Harker Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Yeah, the Mav seeker slaves slightly away from the TGT diamond. I sometimes designate a target slightly to the right of the real one, so that the seeker slaves to the correct point, but only if I'm coming from far away.

Eagle7907 Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) So I did the mission again keeping trusty Swift's remarks in hand. It does appear he is correct. To account for the differences between the two target designations is the fact that the first is too far away for the Maverick seeker to lock. The second one is closer and therefore tracking a vehicle once the new target spot is designated. See below: I then undesignated, flew closer, designate again and watched the maverick video slew and then lock on one of the vehicles. I had much better success with the LGBs. The trick it seems is to keep updating the release calculations since the CCRP(or AUTO) point is based off of a stationary point. After release, I almost immediately start to lase. This way the bomb has plenty of time to correct its trajectory and make contact. This is a PITA for the Hornet. It seems like the best technique is to not use the TGP at all if the target is moving. Is there any better technique? Oh, LMAVs. But that's not good for killing defenses.
