You need to ensure that the bomb can see the painted target (i.e. the sensor infront of the bomb). If the laser is out of line of sight for its sensor then your bomb will not track it.
my biggest issue is that if you drop a bomb from high alt and you are like 11km away from the target it will most likely not hit if the player is moving. its just an animation/rendering issue with the game cause tank movement is not properly displayed at these ranges. can be very frustrating if you try to stay out of range of everything thats not a pantzir
@pewxdd rendering is a big issue. The pantsir can lock you even when it has not rendered yet. 11/10 people will say it's a skill issue. I find low, fast gun runs to be effective on it sometimes.
Well, kinda. Loft bombing was supposed to be done while flying very low, not very high. By flying low and fast, the delivery aircraft can fly under enemy radar and pass air defenses before they can attempt a shootdown. You probably know the rest.

@@treanttrooper6349 Yes, but that was not what i was referring to in the other comment. You where making it sound like laser designators have no limits and has range to reach the moon, which is not correct in atmospheric use, and even less so if anything where to actually guide on the laser spot.

The problem is that tanks appear only in 10km range in mixed rb
For me it's 12 ~ 13 Km with targeting pods
And 4 km if I don't... 6 if the guy is getting spotted by someone.
This guy just throw it from England to France
with a french mirage? true story...
Meanwhile mine sometimes just, don’t track the laser even from 8km away even if I drop it right on top of thr marker

Amazing at how powerful a laser would have to be to lase that far
Honestly, not very, like, you don't even need a crazy powerful laser to bounce it off the moon and back, physics is fucken nuts

How can you get the TIALD pod to lock on from that range?
He locks at 18 ish km I believe its dropped with no lock. Could be wrong tho
guidance time left the chat

I don't think the pansir can reach that far

next on war thunder: ICBM TEST FLIGHT
For a glide bomb like a JSOW, 55km is nothing. Try more like 55 miles
I wanted to try 100km kill but Gaijin nerfed guidance time to only 90 sec, so I can't even repeat 55km :((
russians with glide kits shoot bombs from like 50 km out is crazy

Even longer range, Russian Kinzhal with 3000 km range
1:03 remind me some German power...as a French.
bomb can glide 55 km while my plane cant fall 5 km
fake, that's the test vehicle map and you hit it at 10km so can still be hit by AA
Most targeting pods lasers can only lase below 25k ft
Only the early generations, later LANTIRN and LITENING pods can easily go above.
