0000832: Can't guide Apache Hellfires using laser
I am unable to guide/steer the Apache Hellfire using the laser.
Only able to test with an AI pilot.
From the Gunner's cockpit:
I cycle to the the laser and turn it on by left clicking, I then see the laser symbology.
Next I cycle the weapons to the Hellfire, when I fire the Hellfire it just goes straight ahead and never follows the laser.
I've tried running just the RHS mods and also tried running it in conjunction with ACE3
No tags attached.

That is corect. AH-64 uses AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire and it is a Fire and forget missile

Dont you need to lock on to the laser first?

I thought that by having the laser as a gunner weapon, the Hellfire would be a K variant. Otherwise,what's the point of the laser?

Because every AH-64D have a laser cause it can use both radar and laser guided Hellfire's, we just have right now radar guided ones.

ok this will need a longer article from my side in order to explain it all but first I'll need to fix my PC. I should be done with it by tomorrow. BTW I have found a small mistake on the RHS AH-64D wiki it is said there that it uses AGM-111 Hellfire though it should be AGM-114 Hellfire.

The AH-64D uses mainly the up to date armament. The D Variant was especially developed to use the AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire missile, (for guidance it uses the millimeter-wave radar seeker so there is no need for a laser lock on) by adding advanced sensors such as the AN/APG-78 Longbow millimeter-wave fire-control radar thanks to that u can detect targets with the helicopter behind obstacles (e.g. terrain, trees or buildings).The Target Sight System (TSS) has been left so that u can use laser guided ordnance (other Hellfires, artillery laser guided etc.) and it's optics. It can also guide weapons from other stations (it will be improved in AH-64E with the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System).

The typo in the RHS-wiki (111 -> 114) entry is now corrected.

In Iraq the AH64D were intensively using laser guided Hellfire. (AGM-114K)

Having ingame a AH64D with a mixture of Longbow (agm-114L) and laser guided (agm-114K) hellfire II (8/8) would add versatility for target engagement.

Currently the only way to use missile is to have a solid-lock-on. with the laser guided version you can hit whatever you want. aim and shot.

Air weapons will be completely reconsidered soon.
