Can’t say for sure. I didn’t hit the keybinds to switch but lock was maintained and sidewinders could lock so it’s possible it switched. Will keep an eye out next time it happens.
Had it happen to me last night as well, what most likely happened is it switched to irst to maintain the lock. Hence why you could still use an aim-9m and not the aim-120.

Thats how it is supposed to look:
I also made a bugreport about it as seen in the post above

Is it normal the EF has as the lowest radar scale just 23 miles and not maybe 12 miles, in TWS mode with more target the radar get’s messy
Top scale radar by 160 nm it’s so ironic. It’s like a reminder, “Look, these are the distances I’m designed for, but you don’t have that.”

Okay, just had it happen to me multiple times in the same match. It’s not IRST (or at least, not blatantly so). It’s TRK MEM. Sequence is:
Pick up target on TWS > Lock Target > Lock degrades to TRK MEM > Attempts to cue AMRAAM fail.
The whole time though the lock tracks accurately, even against manuevering targets just like a normal lock would.
The entire area was dense with clouds, with crap visibility so I’m confident it’s not IRST.
Edit: I also got the Acquistion bug that mission, whole thing locked up on me and I had to turn it on and off and switch into IRST to clear it. Video of it from my local replay (server replay link is here:Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On), the switches to TRK IR are my attempts to lock sidewinders and not the cause of the failed AMRAAM launches.

Pretty sure TRK MEM is when the radar goes into inertial track as the lock has degraded too much to be kept, which then means its not actually tracking the radar target its just tracking where it thinks it would be if it kept flying the way it last saw it flying.
Likely just another side effect of how garbage the CAPTOR-M is in-game, its unable to hold its lock reliably enough lmao.

Idk whats going on with it, some of those locks its going into TRK MEM are head ons with closure rates in excess of 600m/s or lookup’s into open sky. I’ve attached the video and replay to an existing bug report on the ARMAAMS not locking, so we’ll see what comes of it.

Welcome to the Wanker Radar experience, pal:
I’m curious what exactly the LWS triggers on in-game. I’ve had it go off (seemingly randomly!) in air rb
Only thing in ARB is someone locking you with a tpod I think. At least I can’t think of anything else at the moment
if i had to guess, they’ll add the wild weasel/f4g whenever we get SEAD stuff and allegedly a vietnam SEAD mission is in the works

Missiles or flares. Anyone popping even single flare will activate maws.
Yes, reports were updated
If next month decompression max BR to 14.3
I suppose the first major update 2025 gajin might ready add AIM-120C-5 on Typhoon FGR.4
Half of fox3s are performing incorrectly (underperforming) and you wamt to add better version of missile which already works and flies as it should??? LOL
