A thread for discussing the Aiming Points for Salvo Firing Guided Weapons Mechanic.

I can get GBU-39s to work instantly and flawlessly, but no matter what I try, I cannot get SAL+GNSS weapons to work like the Paveway IV and GBU-62. Anyone managed it yet?

how did you set up the multiple target points, i couldve figure it out

For GBU-39s

I just set a keybind for “add aiming point” then targeted the map or used a tpod

then pressed “salvo launch to aiming points” and it released the exact number of GBU-39s to go off and hit the set targets.

But Paveway IVs dont seem to work the same way

I found a bug where if you link a weapon to the same aiming point twice it causes the game to crash when the weapons impact.
Example if your quickly switching points and linking weapons you might go back to the fisrt aiming point and link a weapon to it a second time then when weapons hit it crashes

6

How do you get the weapon link thing to work. Doesnt seem to do anything for me currently

7

weapon links seem to only work with gps only weapons however for the other weapons that use laser or tv for example you cant link instead you use the “link point of interest to aiming point” bind then swap and lock each target manually

8

I didnt even need to use the link weapon keybind for GBU-39s, it just worked.

But GNSS+SAL should work the same way.

Also haven’t been able to get it to work, and also the “normal” way to mark an SPI on the map doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Has anone gotten it to work fully?

And is this function restricted to aircraft carrying GNNS weapons only, or can all aircraft with SPI use it?

And is ther actually a way in the cockpit to see those points, or is it restricted to the map windown only?

10

Only with GBU-39s on the Gripen C. Gunjob cant get it to work properly either.

I seriously odubt they would add the HUD symbology unprompted :D

11

yeah i cant get non gnss weapons to work with it using linking

and there is no hud symbology at least not on the su30sm which im testing it on

Working great so far (I think) for GNSS only weapons. But doesnt seem to work at all for any weapon with mixed guidance types

14

I tested by binding the “add target point” and “link weapon …” to the same keybind, but most of the times they went for the target was when I sent the bombs with the normal release bomb keybind, if I use the salvo it only targets 2 points

15

I think the Link weapon keybind doesnt do anything currently

16

For me it slaves seeker to aimpoint.

17

This binding

will set tpod or a seeker to a point

I havent been able to figure out what this one does yet

I can’t test it right now but maybe you can drop GNSS weapons on aiming points without designating POI? So like cycle aim points and each time link weapon and then fire.

19

With pure GNSS like GBU-39s, I just set the points and press the salvo launch button.

I dont even need to touch the link weapon one.

But something like Paveway IV doesnt seem to work at all

Yes but in theory salvo should drop on all aimpoints, with “Link Weapon to Aiming Point” you could drop only on selected. (cycle through).
