Just tried it in Air RB, they works pretty good though deep red mark might be too hard to see on a green map like the Chinese one.
You could use another function added this patch to zoom the map and place the mark so it will be quiet more accurately, as the base mark have same size of SPI mark (thanks Gaijin).
Also it could works in ARB as a navigation point for landing in a foggy map… it helps me get a 1vs5 win with all of them crashed when landing
Also, should mention some of napalms, like BLU-1, won’t drop accurately, when using them you should fly really low to make them hit the base
They could make the marker snap to a base when it’s next to it, or have a few little icons next to the airbase to select specific modules.
I find the new map marking function an excellent addition, and actually haven’t used the button to toggle through mision targets once since it was added. It’s usefull and fun to use.
Advantages:
You can easily mark your desired target, not having to toggle through all of them.
You can mark not only mission bases, but also ground forces locations.
You can even use it for navigation.
With map pan and map zoom, you can place the marker with good precision and accuracy.
You can even finetune the marker with Targeting Equipment
What I do often these days, with aircraft with targeting equipment / TGP, is to roughly mark the point on the map, fly to it, and while approaching, finely adjust my desired impact point in the targeting view, then engage as usual.
Thanks to the map marker I’ve now even started to take out those aircraft that don’t have a CCRP indicator on the HUD, like F-111’s: Just mark your target on the map, fly to it (easier if you have TGP), and drop in CCRP.
Btw, you can even use the map marker for navigation. I mark the homebase, then fly to the point marked on the HUD (very nice on AMX), or, if I got a TGP, fly the aircraft so the aiming cross is centered. Very easy.
found a source said when using switch targets, for each 4 target, 0 is runway, 1 is fuel tank, 2 is hanger and 3 is barrack
so if the map have 3 airbase [0-11] will be airbase
CCRP looks not working now for me.
My bomb don’t drop when I am allign with the base that I target but it drop only when I turn at more than 45 degrees and drop at the same time.
Hi, quick question. I use the bucanneer alot, sometimes i want to turn off the ccrp bomb release thing and just drop bombs freely without the ccrp but using the bomb sight in grb. Anyway to do this, i also get liimted on how many bombs i can drop using ccrp too.
I am on mobile at the moment. So can’t quite remember the specific name of the setting. But there is a control setting for automatic weapon release. Toggling that will leave CCRP and all it’s visual symbology, but allow you to manually release the bombs whenever you want. That might be the best option for what you want in that regard
(I need to update this guide as that is a setting added after I wrote this)
As for it only releasing a few bombs. Can you explain this further? What method are using for multiple weapon release? Are you able to send a clip?
(ah that would make sense as i have not been able to find guides for it)
For example when i spawn the bucaneer is grb and see on the minimap/ in game then mark the map, i sometimes wish to drop multiple bombs on that one location using ccrp, however it only allows me to drop one bomb. Bomb release series doesnt seem to fix this for me as it says weapon selection on or something like that.
I can try and make a clip the next time i play.
I also appreciate your guide, it explained ccrp for me when i bought the bucaneer a few months ago and apart from the issues ive come into its super helpful,. thankyou for taking time to make it.
Have a re-read of this section. With weapon selector, you won’t be able to use bomb series but you can use ripple modes to drop multiple weapons instead
Thank you. Yeah, Buc is one of my.go to bombers too
