Assuming good altitude, proper bomb spacing and targets that are close to each other, is there a limit on the number of targets that can be engaged in a single LGB pass by one jet..... i.e. drop 3 while lasing the 1st target, lase 2nd target after 1st bomb hits, lase 3rd target after 2nd bomb hits....

The reason for asking is that, in Falcon 4, depending on the version, multiple targets can be taken out... just trying to ascertain whether this is realistic and how Fighter Ops will handle LGB employment.

Hey,

I'm not fighter jock, but IIRC I have heard that tactics are out there for buddy lasing, or taking out multiple targets in one pass. However, for these Falconeers who are doing 4-6 targets on one pass, I would say is a little un-realistic. Due to the fact that a great chance of error, not to mention perhaps there is a little more that has to be done to fire of an LGB then what we currently do in Falcon.
