ruddy122 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Hi, Following Spudknocker's video to launch the Harpoon in Sea Search Mode in the Hornet Why are my Harpoons 180 from where I want to launch. Using Marianas Island Map, Enemy Ships at 180 but Harpoons are going 360 I must be forgetting something Very frustrating [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] LUCKY:pilotfly::joystick: Computer Specs CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 3.4 GHz| GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 6Gb | RAM: 32 GB DDR4 @ 3000 MHz | OS: Win 10 64 bit | HD: 500 Gb SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) The default mode for Harpoons is Bearing-Only Launch (BOL) which defaults to true north. You have to switch the missiles to Range/Bearing Launch (RB/L) after a target has been designated.

ruddy122 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yep it was operator error Like Tholozor said you have to tell the Harpoon you are using Sea Search Mode You have to tell each missile to use it effectively Harpoons are like Pitbull AMRAAMS It doesn't discriminate [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] LUCKY:pilotfly::joystick: Computer Specs CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 3.4 GHz| GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 6Gb | RAM: 32 GB DDR4 @ 3000 MHz | OS: Win 10 64 bit | HD: 500 Gb SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass2-1 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Correct, there is no communication with the missile post-launch. It only knows generally where you’ve told it to look, and it’ll destroy whatever it comes across. You can use Man in the Loop (MITL) weapons such as SLAM and SLAM-ER for anti shipping work also, when target discrimination is needed at long range. For targets without ranged defenses, laser-guided bombs can be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The other thing about RB/L mode is that it doesn't matter where the target designation comes from, only that a designation point exists. RB/L mode is not exclusive to SEA radar.

Bobik2002 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 A bit off topic but harpoon is still not synced in mp or it was just bug on my side? Ryzen 9 5900x | 32GB DDR4 | RTX 3090 | 32GB RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
