Why dont my GBU-12 PAVEWAY II fire!

[SantiagoSteve 0]

Can anybody please help me. I am flying a Harrier GR7 in wings over afganistan, and everything works fine, except I cant fire the GBU-12 PAVEWAY II. And yes there is a red box around the taget and all my other weapon fire OK. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Glenn

Okay with the Paveway do you have a laser designator attached to the aircraft like the TIALD ? as this is required for targets other than the primary target on a Strike mission.

Yeah, you need either a bolt on laser designator (like TIALD, Sniper, etc) or a built-in one on the plane.
