spicymagnum 10 Posted October 14, 2011 So I'm a total noob, and I'm just trying to make a few random missions in the editor where I'll be the gunner of an MQ-9 Reaper and shoot Hellfire missiles at targets. But the laser designator doesnt seem to do anything, and when I fire the missiles, they go off in all different directions and never seem to track the laser. So how do I set up/use the Reaper drone and the missiles on board? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted October 14, 2011 Bad news for you. MQ-9 was glued to the engine without specific coding needed for it and is treated like every other vehicle. As a result it has a pilot and a gunner inside (which is ridiculous since it's an unmanned aircraft) and hellfires work only when both of them are AI (when you are not controlling UAV from the terminal). But that's not all - it will use hellfires only on its own and as soon as it will encounter the enemy armor - regardless of what you want. So the only way for MQ-9 to have any use is to remove hellfires altogether (this removeWeapon "forgot_the_classname") and use it as a scout. It will also get rid of the commander inside UAV giving you orders. I think MQ-9 will only get fixed in ArmA3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That guy 10 Posted October 14, 2011 it is possible to use the hellfires. i have used them to great effect in a few missions you need to select the hellfire, lock target and hope that the UAV is flying twords your target but yeah, the UAVs are a little... messed up.
