AS565 MB Panther TADS lase not working (Operation Marlin)
Hello,
I was playing as the french (against HAMAS) on Marlin in HOG today, and I got into the mentioned transport helicopter. There was a seat, where I could use the lasing computer, but when I tried to lase something, it didn't work. I hope this information will help to improve the game and it's assets. |

Re: AS565 MB Panther TADS lase not working (Operation Marlin)
What exactly are you gonna lase? There is no CAS. Other than the pilot (whose aircraft has no weapons mind you) and squad leader binos no one else is gonna see your lase. Other than pointing out where an enemy is to the pilot (which you could instead do by speaking) its a rather useless feature to have on that layer/map so it not being present is fine imo
Operation Marlin - INS STD Operation Marlin - AAS INF and if your intent is to use that transport chopper to lase targets instead of actually transporting troops then you're wrong. |

And IRL the computer itself isn't just for FLIR/TADS as it is a maritime patrol and surveillance aircraft meaning it includes FLIR/TADS, radar, thermal imaging, night vision display, etc.. Aircraft in-game such the US and Canadian "Twin Hueys", Opsrey, Griffon, Dutch NH-90, and the French Panther IIRC are the only transport aircraft that include a TADS camera/computer but have no lasing capability. This feature is also included within a passenger seat. But that's beside the point. You were hoping that it could improve the game and its assets but how so? In what way will it be utilized to make it even worth adding to the DEVS? If anything adding lasing capability to transport aircraft is a waste of developer work. The tactics and playstyle of players in PR now don't warrant its use so whats the point? | |

It's not intended to be able to laze, it's a camera.
