Alicatt Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 However, unlike the IHAWK illuminator, the AWG-9 illumination would have a doppler shift because of the velocity of the F-14. Because the original IHAWK illuminator wasn't in motion, its unlikely that the missile has a rearward facing receiver for doppler referencing.(no need to receive a reference signal when you 'know' the frequency of the illuminator, and you know it wont be doppler shifted) Because the illuminator has a doppler shift from the F-14's motion, that the missile is unaware of, it will likely home in on any chaff. Normally chaff gets filtered out because it has no doppler shift, but because the illuminator itself has a doppler shift that the missile is not aware of, it'll think the chaff return has a velocity of it's own and thus not reject it.(this also applies to ground clutter, for the same reason, and is thus not effective in a look-down engagement) There would be a doppler shift even in a ground launched / ground radar illuminated Hawk missile engagement as the illuminated target is moving with respect to the ground radar. While the extremes of the frequency shift can be greater in an airborne engagement they will still be there on a ground/air engagement just to a lesser extent.

Magot Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Do NOT add Hawk or R-27. R-27 was tested only on one F-14 with integrated russian avionics (HUD), same as use Su-27. It was only experiment project like with abandonen project use Hawks missiles on Tomcats. Yes it was tested. But ONLY tested. Never used in IRIAF. There is not any confirmed information from Iran media or army about use as R-27 as standard weapon in IRIAF. This whole discussion useless about sci-fi loadouts :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealpup Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Most of the IRIAF loadouts are of questionable veracity, which is why there will be a server authoritative option to disable them if they are ever implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
