Hi all,

When i am the pilot and my GF is the gunner , i do get a good lock but the gunner only get a lock with the mg and not an lock when she select hellfire, we tried everyting ,range ,hight other aproach and all targets had a good sight.

What are we doing wrong here ?

We are using the ace mod.

Edit : we just tested a bit

When the gunner has the mg selected the pilot get a lock with the star

When the gunner has the hellfire selected the pilot has no lock and the gunner also no lock

Maybe get a little closer, its prob cause it's an unknown target. Good to see couples playing ArmA! :D

Current issue with ACE Mod. They made hellfires laser only. Read somewhere it should be fixed in next update, which may be sometime soon.

With ACE2, you need to have a forward air controller (FAC) on the ground with a laser designator. The AGM's can lock on to the laser target. And not vehicles. It's something in ACE2 we put in to prevent the "tab-lock-shoot-kill" problem. ;).

Do hope you're being sarcastic there Binkowski when you consider it has the Longbow modelled. :p Tab-lock is awful but then the Apache does have an incredible target acquisition suite IRL. Maybe just add a delay before acquiring a lock.

I'd like to get the gunner laser method back from ACE1. And apparently the Hellfires can be fired in fairly quick succession, shifting the laser from one target to the next with several missiles in flight.

I completely agree with you. I'd like to see the gunner system from ACE1 in ACE2, it would be great. But for whatever reason it's like it is now. Maybe it will be changed today? I don't know to be honest. :confused:

hmm that sucks if we need to lase it :(

[Ghost 40]

not really, makes it more interesting, problem atm though is the helicopter does not have the lasing system right now. Once it is added it will be great

[Sneaker-78- 0]

if the lasermarker is on the helo then its great but for now, lets hope its fast fixed then

Wait until 6:00 guys, it'll be fixed then. :)

Clearly the problem here goes well beyond the Apache's targeting system. What stands out here is that she is only your GF, not fiance or wife.

A woman who will gun your chopper in Arma2 and be happy doing so is an exceptionally rare creature.

You have her identified, now lock her up, prepare your weapon and engage her!

:D

We did some extensive testing with the ACE 1 apache's (A's not D's btw) and that's exactly what we tried. Playing pilot gunner is great fun and makes the Apache more of a challenge to fly. Firing multiple missiles and then changing where the designator pointed worked a charm - really good job on the ACE1 team :)

Exactly, I got the idea after reading Ed Macy's Apache. Works great for taking down convoys or bunched up targets. Really hope we get the laser back.

Yes a great book and I would recommend hellfire by him also - it goes much more into his training. :)

Cool, didn't know about that!

On that note, it'd be nice to see flechettes and thermobaric effects (splash in buildings) for the rockets and Hellfires. Nasty though they are.
