Finding targets in forrests

[Leon_Portier]

Is there a way to find ground targets in forrests? After flying fighter careers I try my hands on the PE2, the first three missions so far lead me near Vetca (1910) on the moscow map and everytime the targets are in the forrest. I confused friendlys with enemys because they were the only thing I could find. The AI can find them fine, they just drop the bombs in a forrest, I cant though.

Edit: Also does one know how percise the target marker on the java program is? It differs from the target waypoint in game.

Edit: No criticism, I just need some help please

I use icons.  If you don't want to do that then you probably have to wait for them to open fire and drop based on that.

 

The marker on the PWCG map might not line up perfectly with the in game map.  However, the marker on the in game map will more or less mark the target. 

 

In more detail, PWCG picks a spot and sets that as the target location.  That is where the target marker goes.  Units are then placed around this position based on what their purpose is.  So the marker is close to the units but not necessarily on top of a specific target.

Ohh yes, Ill try the Icons, I fly without usually cause I think Ill get better more fast that way.

Ill also look for tracers snitching at them!

 

Interesting, thinking about it, one would make a mission just like PWCG does, picking a battle field and place units around it.

 

Thanks Pat!
