i wonder what the white random-appearing line represents

 

can somebody give clarification please?

thanks

 

I was told on a FB Group that it represents the approximate blast radius of the weapon being employed*

Cobra, is Heatblur still aiming for a mid-90's F-14B and Mid 80's F-14A?

Truly superior pilots are those that use their superior judgment to avoid those situations where they might have to use their superior skills.

 

If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

So wait, regular LANTIRN didn't have self-lasing capabilities or the masking avoidance curve display; This has both?

 

Is this just a LANTIRN pod, or is it a LANTIRN + LTS pod?

 

What you're seeing is the LTS pod.

 

LANTIRN as conceived and deployed was a two part system. The AN/AAQ-13 was a pod containing a terrain following radar and a FLIR for low level navigation at night or inclement weather. The AN/AAQ-14 was a targeting pod meant for use with LGBs and the Maverick. The system was intended to give F-15Es and F-16Cs enhanced low level and PGM capability

 

The F-14 uses a variant of the AAQ-14 called the LANTIRN Targeting System (LTS). The LTS includes a integral GPS assisted IMU which allows it to accurately determine it's position in space without relying on the F-14 (at least the A/Bs) relatively inaccurate navigation systems. To my knowledge the F-14 has never, nor was ever, equipped to use the AAQ-13 Navigation pod.
