a lot of people, including myself up until about 10 minutes ago, don't know that in some recent update, the bombs were changed to lock on after launch, so basically to do it, just get the white square and use the continuously calculated impact point (CCIP) (the place that it predicts it will land) close to the square and the bomb does the rest

ArmA 3 really needs a trim system for aircraft. Maybe im spoiled by DCS But nothing is more satisfying than getting the aircraft trimmed just enough to maintain a bank angle and Orbit an area with little need for input letting you more or less focus on the weapon systems and spotting. As always, love the content. Keep up the great work!

Forgot to say: an aspect that could really use a tutorial is ATGM's. Many people do not realize that some of the missiles will not lock on a target that is not moving, some need active radar, some need IR, etc.

I find this guy really helpful I’ve been looking for the thermal controls for about a month now and I finally found out how to do it so thank you so much.

I don't like to pilot aircraft in Arma 3 but if the day comes when I must adapt for one of my milsim missions it's extremely helpful to know this. I feel most people who claim their experienced pilots don't know this stuff. Awesome video man, subbed.

Very good tutorials, this and your other videos on Drones have helped me explore other avenues to destroy the enemy!

Even tho its a little late... You fricking helped me a lot! just got my first multi kill with those GBUs from like 1500m and saved like 5-6 mates that got shoot by some Humvees! Luv u

I really like ArmA and I'd love to play with my friends but the thing is that they DON'T understand how the game works. One of them wants to be a sniper all the time (Yeah pretty cliche [don't take it personally if you play a sniper unit mainly, it's just that he has played a little too much cod...]) and they are running in the front lines, like... Dude you're supposed to be a supportive unit somewhere with a good line of sight to the AO. They are way too aggressive which gets us killed whenever we try to play the game. I wish they learned the game, that way it would be more fun for everyone involved. This is not really related to the video at all, I just wanted to rant a little bit.

You dont have to drop a lot of altitute when wanting to drop a bomb almost straight down. Dropping a bomb when you're in the laser camera will still make it lock (even if it doesnt say it has a lock) later. As long as its been selected as a target for the bomb, its fine.

Good job on the tutorial videos please keep them coming very informative and easy to understand with your explanation

In vanilla, you need to target the designated laser (with 'T' or 'R') before the GBU will guide to it (it's easiest to do this in the Targeting Pod view right after you've started laser designating). You don't need a solid lock if you're at high altitude - the GBU will execute the required trajectory. At lower altitudes, a solid lock may be required for accurate bombing. Approximately line the CCIP up with the target and the lock will go solid.

hey man great vid very helpful and I loved the starcitzen music in the background

SO informative, i have 600+ hours on the game and never knew i could lock GBUs for my self... always thought you needed to coordinate with boots on the ground with laser designation. Feel like an idiot

G'day mate, just an FYI you do not need to acquire a solid diamond lock in order to release the weapon. You can release the weapon without the solid lock and it will still (within reasonable release parameters) hit it's target. This means dive-bombing with LGBs is no longer needed.

Excellent tutorial.

Hey I am very confused here, when I try this im not sure if it's because it's an old update or soemthing, but when I lock on I don't get any diamonds or locks at all, I instead get a little tiny green square and then I release, I am confused on how to laser guide when my marker thing is a tiny tiny little green [ ] over the target.

How do you lock on that area?.. because if i left click mine it just turned OFF or ON the laser marker but not locking the camera on the area

Arma's simulation of munitions is a bit wierd. Apparently, they have no mass (sauce: forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/204453-calculating-the-distance-a-bomb-would-travel/). Nobody seems to have found a way to calculate the exact impact point of a bomb. Having said that, toss bombing (including 'over-the-shoulder' boming) *definitely* *works* - however, when you pitch above the horizon too far, the CCIP stops working. So, unless you are using GBUs, employing this method will be very inaccurate.

@malusignatius

7 жыл бұрын

Cool. I thought of it mainly because bombs deployed that way tend to be falling near-vertical on final approach, and if you do it right it gives you a bit of extra stand-off with the weapon, which could be useful if there's heavy AAA.

I would really love to see a Mortar tutorial

The lock on mechanic is gone it has been replaced by a more realistic system where you have to target a lazed target and use your unguided drop hud to drop the bomb in the general vicinity of your laser and the bomb will do the rest So you have to lase the target by yourself or let someone else do it... when approaching the target press R so that it is active. After that, like i have explained above, drop your bomb. Your unguided drop hud hasnt to match perfectly with the target... there could be one full "circle" from the unguided drop hud difference.
