Question how do SDBs (vanilla) work? I know they can lock into laser or can be locked directly into vehicles. Are they all seek and destroy/ fire and forget?
Good question! They are neither "seek and destroy" or "fire and forget". Without laser guidance, they are essentially _dumbfire bombs,_ so you have to use your aim and know how to manually bomb. However the SDBs _can_ be guided with a laser; either your own or a friend's JTAC laser on the ground. I don't cover manual bombing in this video, but I do cover laser designation, both from the airplane pod, and from a JTAC on the ground.
@@kebman Ok so just looked into and tested it and thats not correct. Vanilla SDBs have 2 sensor types laser detctor and infared meaning you can lock directly onto an enemy vehicle and target it along with one other cool thing. SDB and GBUs both have lock after launch capability, basically once it is a cetain distance away from their planned bomb impact point they go active and will seek out what they can. GBUs only have lasers but SDBs actually have infared so they will detect and track any object giving off an infared signature within their arming zone (this zone is 500m around the impact point). Incase you want tot est this yourself you can look in the config folder or simply set a vehicle to move then drop a bomb around 500m away from it without locking the vehicle, the SDB will guide over to it without your input.

Instructions unclear, got shot down by a serbian and befriended him
Loll, good one broo.
Why hate serbians
okay, I tried this by bombing a village and it worked perfectly but for some reason when I landed the police arrested me.
Why would that happend oh ma gah
wait a minute................hol up
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. A good and calm voice explains slowly but not boring how to bomb things in Arma. Good Gameplay in the background. Good structure and you showed the keybinds. Thanks man
Thank you for the kind words, Sir! :D
this is the best 9 minutes i've seen on the subject unlike others that go on for 20 minutes and show less.
"Welcome to this quick tutorial on how to bomb stuff." Most american thing I have ever heard
I'm Norwegian! Got many Murican friends tho. Maybe it's bad influence... xD
@@kebman Good influence* :')
Not only the content of this clip is valuable, but the way you make it was incredibly fun and not overextensive. Great job, and thank you!
Thanks for making this video. Your style is very clean and clear of clutter. I wish more tutorials were like this one. No drama, just handpicked interesting and useful info.
Hands down the best Arma Tutorial I have seen to this Date. No bullshit, clear structure, Information in the video and explained for Idiots like me. Subbed!
Awesome video! you wouldn't believe how many people have explained this poorly on youtube this however was clear concise and detailed. All my frustrations are gone!
Great tutorial!
way better than the one from Luetin, it's too old and he doesn't really tell you how to do something, just what to do. You on the other hand gave me a clear summery of what to do AND how to do it!
Keep going like this and you'll be huge!
There is a small cross? There is a small cross !!! That will make things easier :)
Amazing Tutorial! Great man.
Nice, calm voice. Slow explanation, and some pauses between talking. Really great Sir!♥
Now i just need to NOT suck in KoTH hehe
i remember this was the video that made me buy arma like 2 years ago, thx for that, have been enjoying it ever since
I love you. Like seriously, you're the best.
Almost all of my time in Arma has been spent as a pilot, I learnt how to bomb things badly after practising for ages. Now I find this video and there are actually tools to help you, instead of crudely having to navigate it and eyeball everything for hours until you have a decent idea of how to bomb things effectively even if not perfectly. There's locking on, and viewfinders? Pure rage. Good video though can confirm self-learning doesn't work.
the best arma 3 tutorial. nice voice and clear commands
i think the sad part is that i know how to do this in DCS in the F18, but i am just now learning about this for arma... and i have ~3500 hours in arma 3
truisticprince same bro omg
So what do you think, is the $80 DLC for one plane in DCS worth it?
Depends if you really have a desire to learn to fly it like it's real. Given how detailed this sim is, one plane should give you more than enough contents, but it certainly isn't everyone's cup of tea. I might shell out for the A10 because of that juicy Air to Ground contents, if I get more time.
thnaks man ur the best tutorial out here in yt :) i just subs bec u did a great job
Thank god I found this tutorial. I didn't know about the targeting pod at all.
Area Lock works on drones too and can follow units / entities beyond visual range until they die.
Thank you for doing this video, it was useful to me:D
Very clean video! Like it
Awesome dude, Thanks very much
Thanks man that really helped :)
Very easy to follow thank you
thank you SO much for this video!
Most useful video ever
i know its been 5 years, but we need more tutorials man
I have bad news for you. I quit gaming entirely lol. Now I just play guitar and dance. But thanks!
Instructions unclear, Ended up getting shot down by Miller
Very good tutorial
Ah, such an improvement over the pre-jets days, where an LGB locked a laser target like it was a maverick, lol
thanku for this video! very well explained and i can nowww destroooy people in wasteland
Instructions unclear, the bomb hit my jet.
Good tutoriall
Your guide really helped thanks so much the other ones assume you have 2000 hours of amra experience
You are sadly correct. I'm such a nerd... I'm playing Tarkov now, though. But I sucked so hard that I switched to MineCraft. :D
@@kebman Lmao nice I'm just practicing laser bombs on the arma training mission lmao. Hopefully auto pilot doesn't crash me :/
Great tutorial, couple of questions tho: How do you get the plane to fly in such a stable fashion? I am always gaining or losing altitude or the speed is not consistent. Do you have like autopilot or something?
Also when locking the lasers in view mode, how do you fire the bombs so they go towards the target you are locking on?
Horizon indicator, and very small and steady movement. As for letting the bombs go, just pickle the right weapon, and press the fire button when the reticule is over the target.
Oh one more thing. I fly mouse. With a stick you'll need to set trims. But sadly Arma 3 does not have a built-in trim, so if you've got mechanical trims on your stick, you'll gonna have to use those. There exists libs to script it in, but yeah, that's less than ideal.
@@kebman Thanks for the help! I do use the stick, but don't really understand what trims are. When flying jets how will it help me? I am using a logitech extreme3dpro, not sure if it's got mechanical trims... in that case, how should I approach this then? Got any links you can point me to get started? Don't mind going down a rabbit hole, looking to learn more about flying in arma :)
I have over 300hr in arma and literally all I do is set up a bunch of enemy trucks and do bombing practice got to where I can hit the target unguided on multiple targets in one run
I know how to bomb but I came here for watching this video and for a question which is not in this part.
Question: does some unguided weapons like Gatling gun and rockets can make it accurate shot with laser targeting?
Also the video is really great and help full. My bombing style is still little different. But this is the best way of bombing enemy from a great height.
Thank you, Sir! Having an enemy lased makes it a tad easier to keep track of him, no matter the weapon, because the laser will keep its lock. Otherwise, yes the way you bomb with, say, the Warthog is pretty different due to how it's designed to hug the landscape a lot more.
Hello, quick question regarding the targeting pod, is there a way to control the plane with the mouse while the targeting pod is locked on point - because using keys to aim the crosshair (impact point) is just not as smooth as using the mouse to correct the angles. Thnx in advance, any help will be appreciated!
AFAIK there is not, but there might be a way to change the default key bindings. The idea is that you'll go quickly into the targeting pod, pickle your target, set it, and then leave. Meanwhile you can still adjust the ailerons and rudder, but you lose control of elevators during the time you're in the "bomb sight" pod.
@@kebman i see man thnx, been trying cas with neophron in koth and its fun because u see everyone running around in the locked targeting pod - it is perfect for accurate gun runs
its a bit late, but i have a £25 Thrustmaster USB flight stick so i can still fly the plane while using the mouse to guide the targeting pod. Anyway, you shouldn't really be doing much flying while targeting, only really adjusting pitch if you're descending too much.
Thank you for the very helpful tutorial!! How do you make the target so visible, like I cant see the ground at 1000m atl??!
In the graphic settings, you can increase visibility. Note that you need a somewhat good computer / good graphics card to be able to run this game on full settings.
@@kebman thank you!!!!
I am so confused, as of now, I am using a laser designator on a tank and I have correctly selected it. However, whenever I fly near it or close to it where a laze would usually lock, nothing happens. I go to my viewfinder and there isnt any diamond or lock, same as the HUD. I am so confused, its a GBU 12 LOAL and I have lazed, approached at a high altitude and steady speed, please help?
EDIT: I have noticed that when flying at higher altitudes or longer distances, as my bomb reticle gets closer to the target, it will kinda "snap" to it and remain slightly still, and when I left click it hits the target, but that isn't lazer lock.
Have you edited the JTAC object so it has *data link send* set to _true_ (i.e. so that the box next to it is ticked)? You'll also have to edit the jet object, but tick *data link receive* instead. The jet should then be able to receive information broadcasted from the JTAC's laser device. Other than that, I've heard that it's sometimes a little finnicky to get it to work, meaning that you have to approach the target from the same side as the JTAC is on (which is strange to me, since you really only need a clear direction of sight to the lasing device, since it communicates with the jet by radio IRL).
@@kebman I am a bit special and realized that there was a lock, it was a small green square, was expecting it to be a diamond. Also, do you know how to identify when a target is locked whilst INSIDE the targeting pod? Thanks for the guide too.
Very big *THANKS*
Greetings XXXX I turn to your great knowledge, to request if you can upload a video tutorial on how to start a mission in MP from a C-130 or some transport vehicles that go to a point and there the mission would begin. I haven't managed to do it yet ... I hope you help me. Greetings.
You'll most likely have to do some scripting.
Check out *pickinthatbanjo's* video on *ARMA 3 Editor - unitCapture and unitPlay* czcams.com/video/q2BTPgpWcMg/video.html
What is the name and section to edit the controls for the bomb sight?
Hello! I do anything what in the video, correctly the same. But when I designate the target with laser, and other things, and I wanna bomb, there is no big circle and the same "monitor". (like 6:12) What I gonna need to do?
Use the force, Obi Wan!
@@kebman Okay, thx.
So I press left mouse button when I am in the static camera mode (A10), but I only exit the camera view and no laser comes on...? Looking in the options to see lase range, lock target and all these things are mapped to T, but still no laser. My rangefinder is mapped to LCtrl T by default.
I figured it out. I asked a friend and told him everything I did, then realised myself what I did wrong. I also realised I'm a fucking moron
@@CaptainEarls Don't worry about it. Part of the learning process. Now you can instead be the King of the Sky!
With which key exactly do you zoom in the "Ctrl+Click Right" section?
Use plus and minus to zoom in and out. It should work on regular small keyboards too, but I use an extended one, where there's an extra set of plus and minus keys on the number pad. In any case you can re-bind the keys in the key config settings of Arma 3.
@@kebman thanks bro
For me the laser thing is locked and all but the bombs never start locking on and ALWAYS land somewhere else. It used to work a few months ago but now it just doesnt anymore. The thing is marked on the radar, i fly straight to it with the bomb equipped but it doesnt lock on
Hm, that sucks man. Sounds like a bug, so you should probably report it.
Thats soooo good explaned!
Thank you, but the summery is ; Use Ctrg + rightMaus and in there 2. Mode with Ctrg+T
The only open question is, why did Bohemia not explane this in the first place!!!?
you're new to the way Bohemia works, aren't you...
How do you access the bomb camera? Great videos!
The stock settings to access the EOTS camera is Left Control + Left Mouse Button.
@@kebman I mean when the bomb/missile is already released and a camera is mounted on it how do I access it?
@@bipbopking1101 Oh it's a bit wonky on my kayboard (I use the Norwegian keyb). It should be [ and ] by default, but I think I changed mine in the keyboard settings. Those key bindings will get up the mini cam (multi function camera), where you can see the onboard cam of _some_ air-to-ground ordnance, particularly the Macer and DAGR.
Outside that, you'll have to rely on scripting. Might be a fun thing to make a new vide about, actually! But don't wait for it! I don't want to make promises I can't keep lol...
is there anyway I can make a CAS for an A-164 wipeout using a waypoints instead of me being a pilot?
Waypoints work on AI controlled planes too. Just make sure it's got a pilot. It can be a little janky tho, and if you need a precise animation, you'll need to make use of plugins and mods.
@@kebman i see..thanks :)
I’m new to flying jets in arma and nothing I do seems to work, not even Macer missiles lock on to target, when I press R, a box appears then when I hit T it goes away.... am I doing something wrong?
Perhaps I was a little unclear in the video. When you're playing in-game, and you're flying, *R* is used to acquire the _Next Target (vehicle)._ Meanwhile *T* (at least in my keyboard setup) is configured to both _Lase Range, Lock Target_ and _Reveal Target._ Thus pressing *T* can also _deselect_ a target. Sorry for the confusion. To set up your own keyboard hotkeys, press _Escape_ while you're playing, and go into _Options > Controls._ Then find _Show: Weapons._ From there you can review and/or change your hotkeys as needed.
kebman I have the default controls, and same as you. Not sure what my problem is, I’ll try and look around more, you’re video was very good none the less, very useful for getting familiar with the targeting orb
kebman good news, figured out Macers, but GBU bombing still confuses me
@@CallMeNacho_ I cannot figure out Macer but I know GBU I can show you
Hey man can you please make a guide for the sam place, how to use and operate with the air/ground anti tank guided rocket. Or if any1 knows where I can find it pls let me know. Thanks
Not exactly sure what you're thinking about. Missiles are usually lock on, and then fire and forget. You use pretty much the same controls as for bombing except you don't have to worry about trajectory much at all, and you can also release it much further away.
@@kebman Sorry for being not clear, I think I figure out. Also wanted to point out gj on this tutorial its so simple and tells a lot. Do you know any good jet scenarios to recommend? Also is there a way to set an objectives in editor ? Thanks!!
@@MrStefanbojan Thank you Sir!
great tutorial. can you do it also for s.o.g praire fire f-4?
I actually don't have it yet. Looks awesome tho. Not sure if laser guidance was a thing in the Vietnam war tho xD
@@kebman yea plane looks very good. But it is 2 seater and fully analog. So I couldn't figure out how to hit things
What’s the difference in using a jtec and using your own laser?
JTAC? Not much. The difference is pretty much that you don't have to lase the target yourself, if you lock onto the signal of a JTAC. However it is sometimes adviced to fly over the JTAC and towards the target he's lasing. Not sure it's true, though, since the actual signal is transmitted over radio.
Hey man, need a tutorial on firing IIR guided AGM-65
There are already tutorials out for that one. The main difference from other weapons is that the AGM-65 Maverick requires a "hot" target. You can do that by dropping waypoints for the enemy vehicle, to make sure its engine is running. If it's "cold" you won't get a lock, even though you targeted the vehicle. I mainly made this video because laser guided bombing is such a huge area of the game, that's still poorly explained by Bohemia and also left out by most other CZcamsrs.
@@kebman dude do you know any good server to play arma3?
Question: How do you refill your bombs when you ran out of it?
You gonna have to land and rearm in the ams
Ams?
I got a question, when you get a AI repair specialist in warlord, why can’t he repair your vehicle, I tried everything.
@@xxxremastered3264 HAHAHA ikr
If you are just making a practice scenario in the Editor, the easiest is to just put Tempest or HEMTT Ammo/Repair/Fuel trucks on your home airfield and park your plane beside them.
I cant switch to Target pod with ctrl left and mouse. What Must i do?
Check your key bindings. It's in there.
What is Tage Name in the Settings? I Look at This. I cant find this. Please say it to me.
For me when i try to go into the targeting camera it doesnt work it just zooms in
Did you hold in the Left Control button while you Right Click your mouse once and release (a short click should do)? Otherwise holding the right mouse button in for a time, will zoom.

“You will unravel the true strength of The Surgical Strength. So let’s do that now.”
Bro that line was menacing and awesome as fuck! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
not getting the bomb reticule on the camera, is there a way to fix this?
You will only see the bomb reticule if you have bombs selected. You can select bomb-bay weapons by pressing *4* multiple times until you have bombs selected. If this isn't working, then hit _Escape_ and go into _Options > Controls,_ and review your hotkeys under _Show: Weapon._
@@kebman bomb where selected but reticule are not showing up at all
@@sander300699 Have you reviewed your hotkeys?
@@kebman yes, i switch weapons with f, but no reticule shows up
@@sander300699 Then try hitting 4 until a bomb reticulre appears. If not, you'll have to look into your key bindings. If that doesn't help, then I'm afraid I don't know what's wrong with your installation... Best of luck!
ty
More Arma 3 videos thx
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you. Bombing was very poorly covered by most other CZcamsrs, so that's why I decided to do one after mastering it myself. Most other things that I'm interested in, such as light scripting, is already covered quite well. Add to this that I don't really play Arma as much anymore. Currently I'm playing Tarkov, when I don't suck and switch to MineCraft. :D
how do i reduce the fog, can't see the ground when im over 1000m
You should be able to set viewing/drawing distance in the video settings. Note that your graphics card might take a hit, though.

@@einarbrunnstrom8474 Yeah good on you, man. Have to admit I've been playing mostly Tarkov atm. ^^

The bombing reticle gets blocked by panel?
Yep. Means it's time to switch to the pod.
@@kebman The pod?
@@hjalde3479 Yeah the targeting pod, or the EOTS device. The video camera under the nose of the jet. ^^ Just press Left Ctrl and click Left Mouse Button to go to it.
kebman oh ok, thanks alot! Really helps with war crimes.
hey it worked, it says altis missing when loading the map now though
I'm sorry, I'm not sure how to help you here. I think you need to check with the Arma 3 forums, or submit a support ticket. AFAIK it is possible to delete also core maps in Arma 3, or "misplace" them. But normally the map will load first, and then you load the mission, and after that you start the actual mission on the map you've loaded. So if the map is really missing, you should see it first thing.
You know... they messed up laser guided bombs... they should remove gbu12’s and add something like mk82 or something because these are dumb bombs. You can auto release but not CCRP like Jdams and GBU’s
I guess they don't want to make it too easy lol...
@@kebman well then add manpads with IR missiles instead that all missiles give warning sounds... only Radar guided missiles should let a sound go. then it becomes harder and realistic
How to use the harm ag rocket?
This might be helpful: forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/204724-jets-dlc-ag-macer/
HARM AG missile is an Anti-Radiation Missile meaning it uses the target's own Active Radar to guide itself on target. Since its a AG missile, the only targets that use Active Radar on the ground are AA platforms like the Tigris or Rhea. This missile does not give a radar warning to the target since it is using the target's own radar so the enemy must visually identify the incoming missile and manually disable their Active Radar to break the lock.
Thank you, now i can commit warcrimes more efficiently
HOW DID YOU REPLAY THAT
I USE MODS AND SCRIPTING
It's a shame Arma doesn't have a better flight model..
As far as I know they do have an alright model for the choppers. For the jets, the area they fly on is just too small, so I guess that's why they had to model it like that. You still have to cut corners when building an engine for everything between infantry to jets. ^^

True! If you want to get right into the action, and don't care how you edit the pieces on the map. If I do another one I'll be sure to put in more action in the beginning. :)
choose To201 shikra
Now try DCS
I'd love to, actually! But I've put it off, because I want it with pedals and all the extra gear to make it really immersive. I might get the new MS sim, tho. It looks really beautiful!
@@kebman Actually the extra gear is not too much. You just need joystick rudder pedals if you want and just TrackIR Which I made for 1$. Rudder pedals can be pricey but I have a T16000m joystick and it's not that expensive but it's definitely worth it. I think you should try it!
