TeaAndScones Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Hi all. Just a quick question. I'm now in the stage of my game development where I'm writing out my scripts for in game events. One of these is Rocket Pod launch. Since I'm using proper Brevity codes, (Like 'Fox Three' for Multi-Target AA's, and 'Pickle' for Bombs, etc), I need to know the one for Rockets. Thing is, I can't find it. I thought it was 'Shotgun' at first. Makes sense, since a Rocket Pod fires multiple projectiles like a Shotgun, so can someone enlighten me here on this? Cheers from England. :D Quote
mppd Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) I am no pilot, but there is no such animal. The brevity codes were to give a radio warning to unsuspecting friendlies that missiles were in the air. When laying ordnance on a ground target, the FAC clears the plane in hot - clearing him to release on the designated target because there are no friendly aircraft in the immediate area - no "bombs away" or such needed. The next action is a loud noise and likely bright flash, and the radio call from the attacking aircraft that he is off the target. Edited March 22, 2015 by mppd Quote
TeaAndScones Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Ah I see. That slipped me that possibility. Oh well, I'll just have to use stuff like 'Cleared Hot' and 'Off Target'. Cheers. :) Quote
KiwiBiggles Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Hi DatBritish 'Shotgun' is the brevity code for launch of an anti-radiation missile, eg. Shrike, or HARM (Brevity code for AGM-88 HARM is actually 'Magnum' sorry. 'Rifle' for AGM-65 Maverick is pretty cool too).

KJakker Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) You can also try this. http://fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fm1-02-1.pdf I think this is what you want. NAILS (direction) 1. RWR indication of AI radar in search. 2. * [A/S] 2.75-inch flechette rockets. Edited March 22, 2015 by KJakker Quote
