User Guide

(To unlock a target, cycle to it and press / again.) You can launch radar guided
missiles (and only radar guided missiles) at targets locked with the fire control radar.
For more detail on these weapons, read the description of LOBL, in the section on
Anti-Tank Missiles.
Lock the radar contact using the / key.
A quick cautionary note: When the IHADSS is in Easy mode, only "living" enemy units are
displayed in your radar. When you’re in Realistic mode, all targets, both friend and foe
living and already destroyed, are shown. Be very careful when you’re engaging targets
with only radar contact.
Acquiring Targets with the TADS
The laser-based Target Acquisition and Designation System (TADS) provides an alternative
method for designating contacts. The TADS laser, effective only within visual range, follows
the IHADSS targeting box, giving you a quick way to lock visually acquired targets.
The TADS targeting box prior to locking a target.
Using the TADS is relatively simple. First, activate the laser by pressing the z.
A letter ‘L’ starts flashing along the bottom of the IHADSS, to indicate that the laser is
active. The numeric readout to the right of this L reads the range in meters, as measured
by the laser range finder, to the point under the IHADSS targeting box. Steer the targeting
box over the desired enemy vehicle, then press L. The target designator (TD) box
appears over the target and the range to the target (in meters) appears on the bottom of
the IHADSS. The TADS will track the locked target until the lock is broken, either by the
gunner or by an intervening physical object.
