How to use airstrikes?

[Colonel Thyran]

I am stuck in the mission where airstrikes are introduced. Failing several times. The airstrikes with bombs and rocket salvos work just fine.

But the airstrike using ATGM always does nothing. They tell me i have to lock on the enemy vehicle for the whole process. But how do i do that? I just call in the airstrike like any other and then i have no further control of it. The plane just passes by.

И нужно чтоб квадратик над техникой под светился при наведении и так же смотрите откуда зайдёт самолёт чтоб ничего не мешало .

Is the laser for locking onto the target emitted by the plane or the spotter?

I have now accomplished the mission, but not because of the ATGM airstrikes. I followed your instructions, Grek, but no matter how perfectly i angled the airstrike, the rocket either always missed, regardless of obstructions or the jet didn't shoot at all. Even though there was always plenty of space. I used up all the airstrikes. I put the airstrike arrow before, on top and behind the enemy vehicle, but it was never able to take one out.

It was quite a mess. Taking out the huge arsenal of enemy T-72 AVs without any useful air support.

Yes, those ATGM's tend to hit the buildings, but once you find the right angle the airstrikes are quite easy.

1) Make sure your target is stationary.
2) Click the ATGM button on the airstrike menu
3) Click precisely on the target, (you might want to look at it from the very top, that helps) make sure the target is on top of that little circle that appears along with the arrow.
4) Most critical part where you gotta make sure that your missile flies from the right direction, otherwise it'll hit the building. The arrow that appears along with the green circle points the direction the airstrike will come from. You gotta be very precise, I know it's annoying.

Good luck.
