FFG controlled ASuW HELO problem

szabikka · 11-01-12, 02:41 AM

Hi everyone!

I recently started to create ASuW missions for the FFG where the HELO would be a great help to destroy the ships. My only problem is that I can't fire the HELO's penguin missile from the ASTAC station. If I place a torpedo waypoint, it drops a torpedo, when it runs out of torps, then torpedo waypoints can not be assigned anymore. Can someone help me how to fire the penguin if I'm not aboard the chopper but controlling it from the FFG?

Greetz,

You can not do it from the ASTAC station. The only way to launch helo-mounted ASM from the FFG is by using the right click menu from the nav screen.

Thanks Joloc!

I just don't like to use the navmap for engaging targets - I treat it like a map only - but if this is the only way...

It really should be your primary display. You're the captain, and the map is your CIC.

You are right, Dr. Evil. But those different control stations are so superb modelled that I can't resist watching them
