FastNotFurious Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Hello I was asking myself a question and I can't find any information about it, the question is this, in real life what will determine for a pilot the choice, between using a laser guided bomb or a Air Ground Missile ?

legearre Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Does the target shoot back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kengou Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Bombs when it’s safe to overfly the target and the weather permits laser guidance. Missile when you need to attack from stand-off range.

Motomouse Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Safety and costs. And it is not the pilot who makes the decision. VIC-20@1.108 MHz, onboard GPU, 5KB RAM, μυωπία goggles, Competition Pro HOTAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOrion Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Choose between Bomb Or Missile ? Type of target, air defenses, weather conditions, needed precision, day/night, target value (strategic and/or economic), safety... I can go on.

Kang Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 In other words: if you keep lobbing JSOWs worth ¾ of a million dollars apiece at a parked UAZ you should have a good reason for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motomouse Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 A full A-10 salvo costs about 150.000 bucks. A Mk 82 bomb 2.000 and with GPS 20.000. Guns are not pretty cheap in every case :-) VIC-20@1.108 MHz, onboard GPU, 5KB RAM, μυωπία goggles, Competition Pro HOTAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdevil Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 IRL all these suggestions are sound. however since DCs does not incur cost, use the best method to get more points. DCS damage does have influence. cannot kill a T55 with 20MM. moving vs stationary matters too.
