So ive been trying to understand the hellfire and ive been told the iog can take over if the target goes out of sight, ive only gotten it to work once with little to no success on killing spaas.

If the lasing point lost or turned off the hellfire switch to IOG. Then the laser turns on or sees the new lasing point the missile will go after that
First you need to khow what IOG does but sadly i dont khow much either
And for the range its almost any
IOG permanently disables after the laser is switched on for the first time.
IOG is intended to be used before the missile reaches the terminal stage. So you find a target ( you don’t necessarily need line of sight as you can target via the map). Fire off some Hellfires (Brimstones also do the same btw) and then when you see the count down timer is reaching 5-10 seconds, pop up, mark the target with your laser for the terminal stage and guide it in.
If you disable the laser again, the missile just flies straight ballistically but isn’t on IOG

But when i target via map with no laser the missile just goes to space even when i pop up, ofc i turn the laser on when i go up
Hmm… Might be bugged. I’ll have a play
I think for that function (targeting via map) the missile needs GNS+iog+laser
Not just iog+laser
Or the missile cant see your lasing point
i take that back, works well until a euro fighter hits you with a aim 9m
IOG doesn’t really work
IOG is kinda inaccurate , but if you go to your settings and disable Auto-Laser ( or whatever its called , the setting that turns on your laser when you launch something ) it will actually be really useful.
IOG gets them somewhere near the target, and youll see a “TURN LASER ON NOW” alert around 5 seconds before impact.
If you dont enable the laser before impact, it lands within id say 50-100 meters of where you marked depending on how far you launched.
Hellfires just decide to drop if you lose lasers. They IOG doesn’t compensate for gravity.
The distance from target it will be short scales with time.
I’ve noticed the LJDAM-ER (has IOG) seems to have a better behavior than the hellfire IOG.
If you turn the laser on, it guides, if you lose laser it goes off course.
If you turn off the laser it will often hit the last lased location.
