Modern Warfare Mod brings World in Conflict from the Cold War into the Modern Age. It also ups the ante on realism and authenticity in every role – Infantry, Armor, Support and Air, while trying our best to keep everything relatively balanced for fun and interesting gameplay.

Forward air Controller won't lase Bridges with JTAC (Games : World in Conflict : Mods : WIC: Modern Warfare Mod : Forum : Bugs : Forward air Controller won't lase Bridges with JTAC) Locked

When using the infantry unit with JTAC ability, and trying to lase a bridge (both for BLUEFOR and REDFOR), the laser target won't appear and instead the unit keeps walking to the bridge, as if move command was issued. Works right on ohter buildings or blank terrain though.

Anyone else?

Due to a game bug, *some* bridges are unfortunately not targetable by a unit. But, there is a workaround:

1. First, lase any ground area near from the bridge.

2. Wait until you see "CAS2 pushing from waypoint X" message in chat area

3. Once you receive confirmation that CAS2 is coming in, now, enable Defensive Ability on JTAC to prevent the unit from walking into the bridge.

4. Lase the bridge -- you will not see the blinking icon because the bridge is not targetable, but the CAS2 aircraft will still see it. It's important that JTAC infantry has defensive ability enabled so it won't keep walking into the bridge.

5. Watch for GBU to land and fireworks!
