Really enjoying Alpha 2 now in lite mode. Agree with Stiebler, I want lots of unrealistic wolf packs. Have still only had the one contact in realistic but who cares, I got lite now!
In reply - To "paint" a target is to highlight it with a laser so that an aircraft from out of sight can target it. I use the term because I have found that in SH3, if you get within about 20k's of your target, you then point the uzo in the direction of the ships and even though you cant see them, click the lock-on button and move it around a bit and it should select a target. If you then go and check quickly on your map, you can see it as though it was in sight. Sometimes you can send the contact report straight away but not always, other times I use it to help with my approach in the dark if I have to go closer. LGN has also picked up on this and mentions it in his posts.
If you do it this way, you can TC at 128 from hour to hour while sending contact reports!
Kindest and thanks for the testing tips.
