A-10 LGB question

[Plastic_Boy]

Is it possible to make an A-10 LGB drop its bombs without a Laser Designater? I've removed their machine guns, yet they just fly over the destroy waypoint...

The A10 doesnt recognise enemy units as potential targets.  THe only thing it does recognise is the LaserTarget.  You can fake it by having the plane fly over and just make a big explosion.

Now Im thinking about it, you could possibly force the plane to drop a bomb, but its unlikely to be targeted.

yep - u can make them drop the bombs - but it will be basically drop and forget, they wont target anything - timing is everything i guess

Damn thats a shame, I've got some napalm to play around with The only problem is that it detects the bomb in the script, so you can't explode it from the ground.

You can launch the LGBs at a waypoint activated by the A10 short before the targets.

Write this in the "On Activation" line:

nameofplane Action ["weapon","LaserGuidedBombLauncher"];
nameofplane fire ["LaserGuidedBombLauncher","LaserGuidedBombLauncher",...]

That's how do it...
