Sure at night indeed TV is completely useless, but since you can turn off that option, it’s not necessarily as relevant. Though you can still lase through clouds I think, targeting pods will also fail to track through clouds and so will your eyes. And similarly, you still need to be “close” to the target to successfully lase, which isn’t ideal. I wager even in cloudy weather TV bombs are better, since you only need to find one gap in the clouds to drop, whereas for laser you probably want to stay inside that gap the entire time in order to see what you are lasing. Either way you want to find a gap in the clouds for both weapons. Clouds are kinda stupid in general though, since they seem to be not even synced across clients, so sometimes it’s possible to lock through clouds, and similarly sometimes IR SPAA shoot you down through clouds, but I digress.
True
Yeah, because it’s the KAB-500Kr-E’s color TV guidance computer.
(The KAB-500KR-E posses a Color TV guidance computer)
Btw how does having color tv guidance computer help it in the dark?
Idk, that’s just what dude said, because it can apparently help differentiate some reflected light better than black and white.
But idk if that’s just BS or not. A straight up IR filtered lens would do the job. (As in a phosphorus coated lens with an electrical stimulant like a pair of tube NVOD ya know like this):
Can you make a suggestion on the ability to designate targets using recon drones?
Sure! I’ve already created some illustrations for an upcoming suggestion about sharing target points with squad/teammates.
So one guy could designate with their drone and pass the target point to a teammate in an aircraft for instance.
Spice 2000?
It’s an IR though, which, isn’t technically a TV bomb.
You can also include the ability to use recon drone by the player himself. If a player spawns a recon drone while playing with tanks that recon drone should stay after his tank gets destroyed. When that guy spawns in a jet he should get the ability to use that drone when he reaches at a certain distance from the capture point(20 or 15km should be ideal).
This should reduce the dependency on teammates.
Pros of the Sat bombs
-
they won’t be drawn away by tank wrecks near the targets, where TV bombs can swap locks
-
much faster to ripple off at multiple targets
-
you also don’t need direct line of sight to drop, only LOS to mark the coordinates initially. After that you can drop below the treeline/ridgeline and lob the bombs over it
-
they can be used at night time
So, they have their benefits. I like taking both at the same time on the Su-24M.
I’m wait another variants included with F-15E (late production) in the future
- GBU-15(V)31/B
- GBU-15(V)32/B
- GBU-15(V)1C/B
- GBU-15(V)2C/B
- GBU-15(V)31A/B
- GBU-15(V)32A/B
- EGBU-15
No
Thank you bro o7
np :D
Soo. i was under the impression that TV-guided means that it also tracks the moving target by itself when i grinded out the MiG-27K and the Su-24M… Then I started to get a lot of “failures to track” with TV-guided bombs and missiles…
So my question is that in the case of these two jets, the "TV guided " means, TV lock but it does not track…kinda like a glorified GPS bomb, or am i missing something else ?
I was using the KH-29TE missiles with KAB-500Kr-E bombs.
Sometimes GBU-8 seems to hit moving targets, I guess TV guided bombs can hit moving targets in some special occasions.
