-  *+===== Weapon Selection =====
  
-Weapon Selection+Choose your weapons carefully.  The weapon all have limitations of some sort. That is the result of many many years of MP gaming sessions, Coop, Milsim, PVE and PVP.  Some are intended to make like a bit more difficult for the pilot, but ensure MP gameplay. Others are simplified and meant for PVE. But the option is there to allow mission makers to decide what kind of playground they want to make.
  
-Weapon Delivery+For example: 
 + 
 +  * JDAMS require DATALINKED targets. They dont have Laser or IR targetting.  Just datalinks. Meaning someone needs to mark and share the info. 
 +  * Some limit the warhead meaning you need more than one missile etc. 
 +  * Some are meant to be used only on softskins etc. 
 + 
 +==== Weapon Delivery ==== 
 + 
 +**The MQ-9 Reaper is designed to be flown**. Use the turret to observer and mark targets. Datalinks are enabled by default.  But to be truely effective you should be flying from the pilot's seat to ensure your LGBs hit the mark.  LGB and JDAMs only guide to a limited degree. Use the CCIP HUD marker, as long as you can see that little + at the moment of release (And you are high enough) the bomb will guide correctly. 
 + 
 +Thats it, have fun.
