TAC//SUPPORT: transport, air and artillery
Tasking the company's support from a map inside the tablet.
G1GuideWhere it is
The SUPPORT tile on the map. It needs ALiVE running, and the unit may hold tasking to a tag - if it is not yours, the page says who holds it.
G2GuideTasking
- Pick the tab: TRANSPORT, CAS or ARTILLERY.
- Pick the airframe or battery. "NO SUPPORT ASSETS ANSWERING" means nothing is up.
- Pick the task - transport: PICKUP (waits for your smoke and your confirm), LAND, MOVE, CIRCLE; CAS: SEEK & DESTROY, LOITER, ATTACK RUN; artillery: FIRE MISSION.
- Click the map for the point, or MKR to pick a marker.
- Set the parameters: radius, altitude, ROE, speed, ordnance, rounds, guns, dispersion. CAS also takes ingress and egress.
- Press CONFIRM TASKING. The button says what it is still waiting for.
REQUEST SITREP asks the asset where it is and what it has; ORDER UNIT RTB sends it home. A busy unit says so - RTB or retask it.
A CAS drone on its way in corrects onto your laser spot, or onto smoke near the grid.
