I love using my it for CAS and never have an issue with SPAA trying to shoot me down as it’s easy to stay out of range but enemy jets usually single me out with AIM-120’s and it’s difficult to go cold or defensive

[@Wotplaya4]

Having the laser turned off on launch is also pretty handy for something like the Hellfire, you can LOAL with it if you do that. For long range strikes, say 7km+ you want to lase for the last 15s or so, as the IOG is not very accurate and the hellfire has like 0 energy preservation, due to its epicly bad trajectory. But this way you can cut down the like 30s of lasing in half. Though closer range launches are probably still more effective, though bit less safe.

[@Hunter_i86]

Yes sir, form now on my laser will be manual on everything.

[@kostab92]

What do you actually achieve by turning off laser pointer with hellfires?

[@Wotplaya4]

@@kostab92 it will guide itself to the target point, like a GPS guided weapon but less accurately. This way you can fire from cover and wait until the missile is closer to impact before lasing to provide the necessary corrections.

@ Hopefully we’ll see the brimstone 2 soon with SAL or TV guidance they wouldn’t be much faster but they would hold their energy more and have much longer range compared to the current brimstone, considering the prospect of a possible typhoon this year it might be possible

Hey Hunter, when using variable geometry winged aircraft, you should try and fix the sweep angle between 50-75% depending on what suits you, since the aircraft flight profile changes based on the sweep, just my thoughts on it, might help.

[@Hunter_i86]

Hello, thanks a lot. I usually leave it on AUTO, and when a dogfight starts I switch to MANUAL 0% haha.

[@dietermuller2699]

Thanks that u make this video because i ask for help for Tornado. Thank you =)

[@Hunter_i86]

No problem 😊

[@ActuallyNotIlmatar]

The GNSS bomb won't fail you the double kill through laser if the targets are far enough apart methinks. The seeker head has something like a 30° FOV which, provided its somewhat terminal on its approach and pointing down, it shouldnt pick up the other bombs target. Presumably the laser target should be closer to you, as the farther away bombs will always point away/down. Thanks for the ASSTA video, it seems to be in an interesting spot these days. You'd probably even get away with launching the GBUs a bit more aggressively from even farther away as you did a few months back, flight surfaces seem great and to have very little drag. Cheers :)

[@Hunter_i86]

That's right, but since our glorious maps have the size of a toilet all the bombs will see the laser point LoL.

[@superfamilyallosauridae6505]

I hope the vehicles that have targeting pods and can use GBU-31 get GBU-56 LJDAM, which is literally a GBU-31 (2000lb JDAM) with a laser seeker installed in the field, with no modifications to aircraft required. Technically speaking, if their country operated it at all, if a jet can use JDAMs, it can use LJDAM. Even if it doesn't have laser to guide with! The hardware does not change for the jet. F-15C F-15E F-16C F-16AM (Belgian) F-16C (Israel) F-16D (Israel) etc should all get GBU-54/GBU-56 LJDAMs.

[@randomgaypep2144]

How does the LJDAM work? does it regain the laser lock if you lose lock then relock or just turn into a normal JDAM

[@the_baron_von_germany7053]

it is a jdam until it sees a laser but the laser also updates the gps in the jdam so a singel short laser ping will make it hit that spot instead (but only if the laser seeker is in range like 4km or so )

[@pedrofm30]

Hello, Hunter. I think you should have a look at the KAB-250LG from the Su34. It glides REALLY well and has LASER+GLONASS. I had sucess using it to strike tanks 17+km away with little effort.

Hey hunter, quick question: I notice on your Tornado you take almost 1200 chaff, but only 48 flares. Wouldn't it be better to take around 300-400 flares and still have plenty of chaff? Don't wanna run out of flares lol

[@PLPawkoW]

Tornados have dedicated chaff pods now, so it's better to take full flares, as you get the ~1000 chaff no matter what.

[@M1A2_AbramsSEPv3]

@PLPawkoW I see, it's only chaff? Flares are not optional for them... damn. Yeah take as many flares as you can, then make sure you aren't wasting flares while chaffing i guess, that's all that can be done

[@rifroll1117]

How long do you wait before activating laser?

[@Hunter_i86]

You can turn it ON after release, no problem with that. But when it is auto I noticed some problems can happen like the bomb might overshoot to some random unselected spot, also manual laser will help you to use multiple JDAMs as F&F bombs against static targets and totally pull off after release.

[@patrickwelch365]

Paveway 4 and brimstone’s are very good combination. Similar to these LJDAM

[@Hunter_i86]

Paveway 4 is better, it is a glider with wings, similar on GBU-49 on Mirage 2000.

Holy shit, im ready to take lessons from you, man, i know a noob at cas. Just do some tutorials please. Share ur keybinds also.

[@insertsomethingherebruh]

How do i know if the bomb dropped without laser is gonna hit? I see you drop them when the CCIP says its gonna fall way before the target, thats something i still dont understand

[@Hunter_i86]

Few trial and error runs in test fly and I have a feeling of this or that GBU. CCIP is not really accurate for JDAMs or the new gliding bombs. These bombs can be dropped way earlier than the CCIP reticle.

[@insertsomethingherebruh]

@Hunter_i86 is there an actual way to know for sure that they will glide enough to hit the target doing this?

[@Hunter_i86]

@@insertsomethingherebruh No, there is no actual way, it is estimation and also using the CCIP reticle as generic reference.

[@goliath3413]

Speaking of LJDAM, you should try the new 250kg bombs on su34. They have the same guidance, and unlike other russian laser bombs, they almost imediately track laser if you have it on (any range), and if you dont have laser on, they will go with gnss

[@ser43_OLDC]

I think that there is also the 500kg variant

[@goliath3413]

@ser43_OLDC nah, the 500 is either laser only and 60 sec guidance or gps and 200 seconds.. These 250kg ones have like infinite travel and dual mode.

[@Hunter_i86]

Not any range. You can test that simply by keeping the bomb on the wing then dive on the laser point, the moment you get "point" word is the moment the bomb saw the laser point, it got it at 6km.

Slightly less chance of it getting eaten by armor in case of direct hits, whereas with a fuse delay it can bounce off to the ground first. But you can mitigate that by aiming to the rear/side of a vehicle.

Remember we don't have a 11.3 lineup. Also there's no 12.0 CAS options outside the Tiger UHT, which is only good to focus and kill spaa, barely air spawncampers or other helicopters, against tanks you need to use x2-x4 pars-3 to kill a single tank, and good luck if him doesn't smoke or get behind cover. It is just way better to equip the Mig29G at 12.0 instead of the Tornado, at least you can kill other cas and fighters thanks to its acceleration and maneuverability while flying at low altitude in small maps like in ground battles.
