[UNABLE TO REPRODUCE] Is Dogfight modes realistic?

Recommended Posts

I am triying to lock close targets with HMCS or vertical, boresight modes. It picks the target very very late. Am i doing something wrong or is it as it should be?

I saw -in another thread- someone mention that once you are in boresite or vertical, hit TMS down and it will work correctly. Haven’t tried it myself but I have noticed that it takes a long time to lock

 

It's a great plane to fly, but at the moment you will encounter the following problems at different stages:

 

BVR:

You want to launch on a formation and want to sort targets with your flightlead:

EXP mode not working properly

 

WVR/RADAR:

Your usecase: You want to use JHMCS or something to lock a target up:

-> https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=253449 radar doesn't follow the JHMCS and you need to manually go TMS DOWN/UP all the time until you get a lock.

might though also be:

Also if you fiddled with the radar elevation, that will mess up those things, too.

 

WVR/IR:

Good luck trying to get a seekerhead to uncage and properly slide over to where you're looking at with JHMCS.

WVR/GUN:

No proper gunsight.

Dogfight mode is not working correctly but is known and acknowledged as WIP. When in dogfight mode the AN-APG68 will lock up the first thing it sees within 10 miles, including friendlies. For now, when i to use it, I’ll TMS up once DF is selected which puts the radar in boresoght from the default 30/20, point at the contact for about 2 seconds and then TMS down once. This will usually lock the target within a second and a half. If you have visual tally (inside 10 miles) it should work. The above method is a hack/workaround and should not be used once it is working correctly.

Dogf BORE side mode defficult to lock

 

In Dogf mode BOREside even i have the target in front of me and inside BORE Cross with TMS up the target does not lock most of the times.

 

->The correct sequence is BORE mode cross into the target only (without TMS UP) no lock

 

->BORE Cross into the target when push TMS UP the target must be locked every time we push TMS UP.

 

 

kind Regards

It was reported in Dec 2019 already.

The ACM modes in the F-16 take way longer / aren't working in comparison to F-14, F-18, etc.

Experienced the ACM Mode Vertical scan go completely unhelpful again today:

15000 both contacts heading straight for each other.

Radar in VScan picked up the approaching target just before the inflightcollision.

I expected a bit more from my radar :-(

Tested and working fine here, can you include a short track to see what might be going wrong?

 

Sent via PM. (Roughly minute 4 and thereafter)

 

In general, it's not consistent, though. But happens often enough to be really annoying :-)
