[Discussion] - Aiming Points for Salvo Firing Guided Weapons

Ah, didn’t check that. Probably (definitely) unfinished - honestly this feels like it was probably a last minute addition to add to an otherwise relatively thin update (though is still a pretty good update with the QOL things imo)

things happen in error sometimes. I remember using the 39’s and getting the too fast for release so it was there before, it will probably be fixed with the update.

Everything on the dev server always feels like that. I dont entirely get why the public dev server is always an early alpha and not a late beta

Common industry trend nowadays… Falls under the same umbrella as early access titles 🤷

I’m not able to get the targeting points to work at all.

Can someone show me what keybinds I need to have set to test this?

Please have a look at this if you play using VR headset: Aiming Point and ManInTheLoop functions not working in VR

Screwed around with test drives for a bit, found out that it works fine on the F14D’s shared racks… What sort of spaghetti code nightmare is going on behind the scenes lmao

this is a cool mechanic, but would be nice to see it working. Targeting 10 different ground targets and only two or three getting hit is frustrating.

I think it’s fixed now. Just rippled off 10 GBU-38s and hit 10 targets on test flight. First 2 targets weren’t kill but they were MBTs with points set on the map so meh

Edit: Just tried with 31s and those are also working. LJDAMs still don’t release.

Edit again: Seems unreliable with Gripen + SDBs… Tried to ripple them all off against a target after rearm and just refused to, guided to my targeting pod instead…

Had a few problems playing NE with the Gripen’s SDBs where they’d refuse to drop, but test flight was fine. Going to assume user error.

Created a bug report for LJDAM/IRs being non functional with this.
[DEV] Salvo Launch non functional with LJDAMs/GBU-53 // Gaijin.net // Issues

Im not surprised about GNSS+IR not working, but yeah, Ive had no success with Paveway IVs to date

Not fully fixed. Sometimes it’ll randomly just link all the points to the weapon when I press the keybind, but not drop…

Appears to be after rearm/respawn.

Paveway IVs still dont work.

How are you getting GBU-39s to work? On the F-15E, I can’t get them to salvo fire in NE at all…

This feature just doesn’t work lmao, all of the bombs get locked when I have the points set and the weapons linked

The “Salvo Launch to Aiming Points” feature is not functioning in Custom Battles. It also does not work during the Nuclear Thunder event. However, the feature works correctly in Test Flight.

Because it functions in Test Flight but not in Custom Battles or the event, this appears to be a bug rather than a user error or configuration issue.

This is my bug report.

The whole aiming point functionality also doesn’t work at all if one uses a VR headset, and even the Setting of a SPI on the map doesn’t work in Dev using VR. Also the MITL functionality is bugged in VR:

The reports hvave been accepted, so I hope they can be fixed before Heavy Cavalry goes live… = )

I got it to work once…not been able to again since

I’ve got it working in test drive but still limited to a fraction of the bombs I’m carrying.

It was one of the first things I tried when the dev server opened, and I feel like the GBU-39s actually worked. When I tried it again later that day. It didnt and was doing what its been doing to everyone. So either it briefly worked or I didnt notice it didnt work correctly.

But yeah, ever since, its barely worked for GBU-39 and Ive not yet gotten it to work with PW4s.

Monday is going to be one hell of a bug reporting session I think
