What are these on the stores page?

Hey guys,

Lately I've been flying a bunch of stuff so it's been a bit since the hornet. I just noticed these things that I don't remember seeing before... can someone tell me what they are?

Just randomly throwing it out there, I also wish TWS was working already. Really useful for multiplayer. I'd love to soft lock targets and see IFF on it.

Can't wait for that datalink thing or TWS to be implemented. lol

From what I can make out from the image on the Air to air store page

Size: size of the aircraft that is being targeted. I believe all aircraft a put in categories based on size. Like an awac or tanker is different from a mig 19 in categories.

RCS: Radar cross section of the the target.

My layman knowledge. Hopefully some fellows with better knowledge would explain better along the way.

Yeah we are looking forward to the TWS and IFF hopefully next month.

I figured (wasn't sure) that's what they were, but what does it correlate to for shooting, whatever purpose it serves? like what If I shoot a large transport plane and I have small selected?

and how about the thing on the side? auto vs manual. S mode I think?

i read somewhere that size changes the trigger distance of the proximity fuze and rcs changes the bias of the aim120 seeker to go for bigger or smaller targets once it goes pitbull

interesting...

can we confirm this? and if it really works, or a placeholder?

I lean toward more of a placeholder. I just maybe wrong. If I remember correctly, nothing was said on if it those features were really at work during use of a2a weapons.

I honestly have not researched their implementation.

I have read similar, as well too that the RCS will change the range when the AIM120 seeker goes active (so it doesn't try to go active too far against a small RCS), and so on as well it will decide by itself what it actually should target itself.

Like consider that there is a tanker flying with a four fighters next to it. So launching AIM-120 at the group would let pilot to choose that what is the primary target in case the datalink is interrupted or when seeker needs to make the final decision what is its target, a tanker or fighters.

I don't remember either. I watch the updates like a hawk looking for new cool features. lol

I read somewhere S Mode has to do with the IFF/datalink. I remember seeing that in a thread Wags responded to.

PS I can’t wait for datalink. This implementation will complete majority of the BITs on the BIT page.

Same... D/L will be huge help for a2a on MP. once we have the tpod, a2g will be awesome.

and that's another question I have. the BIT page is full of degrade and nogo. is this by design? I'm afraid to fly the plane with all those NOGOs lmao

Not by design. Just because stuff isn’t complete in the sim. In time the BITs will slowly be resolved.
