How will Fighter Ops will handle LGB employment? Will multiple targets be able to be engaged in one pass by one jet? Just trying to ascertain whether this is realistic or not. I asked Haole but got no response so I assume the real thing is classified.

Will this be doable in FO and if so to what extent. What will determine how many targets can be engaged. The reason for asking is that, in Falcon 4, depending on the version, multiple targets can be taken out. Now, F4 doesn't seem to take into account the smoke and debris from the 1st bomb that would inevitably hinder laser tracking for the following bombs.... will this be taken into account with FO?

I already have made several succesfull bombings with hitting multiple targets in one run in Falcon.
Just make sure that the target's aren't too close together and prefferable diagonally or horizontally from each other, reduces the risk of being hindered by the smoke of the first explosion.

Best,

Here's (http://forums.frugalsworld.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=53910&highlight=target+practice) a link to a thread where I posted an ACMI where 6 targets are taken out in one pass.

The question is though, is this realistic and how will Fighter Ops handle LGB employment?
