ooo what about laser guided munitions?

[Denwad]

possible in CMX2?

IIRC the swedes and the brits have a mortar fired laser guided anti-tank projectile, would that be possible in CMX2?

Who cares about the Swedes?

A couple of points for consideration:

1. Lasers were invented in 1958.

2. How do you use a laser with a mortar?

3. How would this actually affect targeting within the game? (Do you want altered accuracy, or just a different ammo load?)

4. Mortar-fired anti-tank? How does that work?

Okay.

2. How do you use a laser with a mortar?

Guided submunitions, or even guided base shell with in-flight glide adjustment similar to an LGB package.

3. How would this actually affect targeting within the game? (Do you want altered accuracy, or just a different ammo load?)

Increased accuracy.

4. Mortar-fired anti-tank? How does that work?

Top hits, or guided submunitions for top hits.

Copperhead. It's a 155mm round, but it works much the same as the mortar rounds.

US 120mm M935 PGMM. Much the same deal. Newer. Smarter.

The Swedish mortar round Strix is not laser guided, it´s IR-seeking.

But laser seeking rounds requires a different firing procedure in the game (if added). I don't think you fire vollyes of laser guided rounds.

And the most important question to consider:

Who is aiming the laser, is it mounted on the heads of sharks?
