LaughingPineapple 10 Posted August 23, 2010 Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to control Hellfires that were fired from a Apache via LD? I am planning to get Operation Arrowhead in a month or two, but due to watching that "Death from Above" video demonstrating the Little Bird fearlessly lazing all those tanks makes me want OA NOW. But as I said before I'm not getting it yet. But does anyone know how to use the laser designator to control hellfires? Please and thank you? :bounce3: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avengerzx 10 Posted August 23, 2010 Yes, if you press TAB.. you will get a target named " Laser Marked " then when it is locked on, just fire it until the name turns grey from red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaughingPineapple 10 Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Why didn't I think of that before, it even shows it in the target area for the radio thing. I feel like a useless hobo. :butbut: BTW, your rig is awesome... How much did it cost? Edited August 23, 2010 by LaughingPineapple Forgot to add something...

avengerzx 10 Posted August 23, 2010 It is like this, lock with laser.. one funny thing is why Hellfire is IR locked... -------------------------------------------- less than 1.5K USD in my country it cost 2k exact I need to upgrade my PSU to HX850W and RAM to 8GB Dominator and get another set of 5870 ;D CPU runs too slow, not enuf power to OC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuFu 4600 Posted August 23, 2010 It is like this, lock with laser.. one funny thing is why Hellfire is IR locked... because the real thing(M version for instance) it has semi-active laser homing guidance system? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaughingPineapple 10 Posted August 23, 2010 If that's the case, I bet it would also work with the Mavericks on the A-10. My Macbook Pro can run this game perfectly. It is truely a miracle for such a thing to happen. Intel Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM 320GB HDD at $1200 CAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted August 24, 2010 I don't think it does work with the Mavericks on the A-10. I haven't tried in a while but I don't think it did last time. I've never seen an A-10 use them before at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galzohar 31 Posted August 24, 2010 Hellfires can lock on lasers, mavericks can't, just like IRL. What's not realistic is locking laser-guided hellfires on any vehicle just by pressing tab and then firing it as a "fire and forget". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's not realistic is locking laser-guided hellfires on any vehicle just by pressing tab and then firing it as a "fire and forget". You can chalk that up to a simplification of the lase-lock-fire procedure, I think. I wish it was slightly more complex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galzohar 31 Posted August 25, 2010 A huge over-simplification, yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
