IronKirton Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Does anyone know the radar offset limits are for the F14 when locked onto a target? Just want to know how much i can crank a missile and yet still maintain lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronKirton Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yeh i thought so too but i seem to lose lock before that when i start cracking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcroGimp Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Keep in mind it is a steered physical dish, so rate of angular change is a consideration as well as the actual gimbal limit DISCO [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] A-4E | F-5E | F-14B | F/A-18C | AV-8B NA | UH-1H | FC3 | Yak-52 | KA-50 | Mi-8 | SA-342 i7 8700K | GTX 1070 Ti | 32GB 3000 DDR4 FAA Comm'l/Instrument, FAST Formation Wingman, Yak-52 Owner/Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle7907 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 PSTT mode does best for cranking. That or using PAL. PDSTT is prone to losing lock when you lose closure rates. So if you crank, or enemy cranks, lock will be lost.

QuiGon Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Doesn't PAL use PSTT? It does.

deadpool Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Valid question would also be: Is there a way for the pilot to reliably see for a given roll angle how close to the gimbal limits he is? At the moment it's just me - as a RIO - yelling LIMIT LIMIT LIMIT at my pilot when be comes close.

IronKirton Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 I found if the "T" symbol on the VDI gets near the edge it goes past gimbal limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzaiib Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It does. Unless you have the AIM-7 selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
