Use of Unguided Rockets

2. Use with CCIP

We will not set up ground targets in the basic course and will not use ground radar. This will come in a later course.

Bar small deviations the procedure is very similar to the air-to-ground attack with the aircraft cannon.

In the game there is a guided training mission that explains in detail the attack of ground targets by unguided rockets.
To open it, you choose TRAINING > F/A-18C > Unguided Rockets.
In addition, there are still free training missions without explanatory texts to practice and deepen the steps.
For this purpose open MISSION > F/A-18C > Weapons Training - Air-to-Ground Gun and Missiles.

In order to be able to attack ground targets with the unguided rockets, you must follow the steps below.

If you set the weapon main switch to ARM, you will see how the status in the middle changes from SAFE to ARM.
And in the lower right corner, the SIM for training mode is hidden.

You will find the different types at the top of the screen from left to right.
