Arma 3 CAS - GBUs and MACERs

[@demicus]

Oh god. I just realized today that the default ASMs are infrared, not laser designated. So every time I failed to lock one of the showcase targets, now I know it's because its immobile and has no significant heat signature. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu- Thanks for the knowledge.

How do you put macers on the A10? I only have AGM 65's.

[@dh.bricks]

how can I rebind the turret camera ( Ctrl +right click) ?

@@TheDiamoniteG Thank you so much !!!

[@michakruszewski6498]

good video

[@emanrandom121]

Mine doesn’t go from area to point when looking at a target

[@ZigzagEnd]

is the target hot? by pressing ctrl+right click to have targeting pod view(optics mode), and then N until you have thermal view(Night Vision), you can see if the target is hot or not

[@emanrandom121]

@@ZigzagEnd no it wasn’t it was just a stationary tank

[@ZigzagEnd]

@@emanrandom121 maybe you can only lock onto hot targets

[@petarmaksimovic4048]

So why do Macers actually lock and cycle with "R" key?

[@TheDiamoniteG]

[R[] cycles targets, [T] targets whatever is under reticle.

How do you zoom in with the targeting camera

[@TheDiamoniteG]

+ and - on numpad

[@G1NZOU]

If you have a mouse that has forward and back buttons that you normally use for internet browsing, what I did was go into the control settings and bind them to the optics zoom. Really helps when I'm playing as UAV and need to zoom in or out quick to spot infantry or other targets.

[@jay-_-legendary8821]

So you can’t laze for macers

[@TheDiamoniteG]

No, they need to lock on to a heat signature, so you'll notice vehicles that are off/cooled off will not lock on, at least in vanilla A3.

[@TheDiamoniteG]

and that might be specific to the wipeout system, i'll have to explore the blackfoot and see if they will wire guide. Arma does weird stuff with their weapons, since each aircrafts missles are not treated as a single piece of ammo, but a magazine, so to speak. Example: Pod of 3 Macers =/= x pod of macers on another platform. You could build that into a custom loadout for a vehicle in editor though.

[@Pilot_Azog]

Th scalpel are AGMs that are slightly smaller but can still one tap tanks most of the time and use the laser

[@jboi.]

How to turn on laser?

[@TheDiamoniteG]

cycle weapons with "F" by default - go to laser, and left click mouse to turn on and off. It will stay on when you change weapons.

[@AhmedAli-bi2ds]

You cant do that in real warlord they will shit on you

[@TheDiamoniteG]

this isn't for warlord, its just a tutorial
