Laser designators

Recommended Posts

Im sure this'll make me look stupid, but what the heck do laser designators do? (In OFP, I am well aware of their real world use).

What missile system are they used to guide? The Maverick from the A-10?

Help a confused dude out here!

They designate and are lasers. And they are used to guide LGBs (that's why they're called Laser Guided Bombs).

Mavericks and LGBs. Search The FAQ for "ltd". Select the first matching FAQ item. There's even a sample mission you can download from the item to direct some LGB-laden A10s.

I was looking for Copperheads or something....LGB's....got it.

(In my own defence, I haven't really played many missions with jets in them, I'm more a land vehicle type of guy!) biggrin.gif

In the sample mission I mentioned above, you play the foot soldier designating the targets on the ground for a squad of incoming A10s. Enjoy the fireworks!
