You can set it to whatever code you want but only from the loadout page before starting the mission. The code matters if multiple friendlies are using their lasers. If you and your wingman have the same laser code, then the bomb might try to go to where your wingman is pointing. That's how I understand it.
The code is programmed into each aircrafts bombs by the flight crew with separate codes, and you are supposed to set your laser code to match it, or to match anouther aircrafts code within your filght, on the aircrafts targeting pod which is what shoots the laser beam the bomb follows to the target. This keeps your wingmans bombs from following your or some other aircrafts laser pointer, so that each aircraft in your flight can thereby designate their own targets. BUT... you can also set your targeting pod to any of your flights bomb codes, and thereby use your laser targeting designator to guide their bombs as well. This creates opportunity for bomb lofting, meaning the aircraft carrying the bomb can make a bombing run flying in at low altitude, pull up, release the laser guided bomb without flying over the target itself because once you release bombs you can turn away and evade threats. While anouther aircraft with your bombs bomb code, stays further away and shoots the laser pointer for you, the attacking aircraft. This is done so the aircraft dropping the bombs that needs to be near the target to drop bombs, dont have to laser designate for itself, which requires steady relatively level flight, which you cannot do while everyone is trying to shoot you out of the sky. But your buddy flying further back, can designate targets for you and fly straight and narrow, or within laser designation flight envelope.... preferably flying with their nose pointed 90° sway from the target, and lasering to the side, which has the added benefit of keeping the laseing aircraft relatively invisible to doppler radar. Doppler tracking radar needs whatever its tracking to be either headed toward, or away from it, so as it can differentiate between ground clutter... hence the doppler name as in the doppler effect you can look up for yourself.
Easy to understand explanation. Thanks for the video.

thanks dude, but i dont understand the "1511" in TGP CODE
