Right then to try get back on topic here’s some Top Gun inspired screenshots.
Would have more but these issues have been the bane of my existence, I know it’s not the place but any support for these issues would be greatly appreciated - User skins not working in URL custom battles - Game freezing and completely unresponsive when alt-tabbing.
Too bad We still don’t have post 1980s A model, which has TCS.
Also, It was one of reasons why I made F-14A late suggestion.
Isn’t the TCS completely useless in WT? I heard they’ve now disabled the ability for the TCS to lock targets since the Leviathans update. It was the last gimmick it had - it was sometimes useful to track someone flying away from you since the HDN radar is quite bad at that. Was also stealthy.
Now it serves no purpose. Just a glorified zoom button I guess.
At some point on dev it was removed, but idk about live
It should be like IRST, but not IR.(it should be able to find targets).
No it still works, it’s just useless. The camera view has barely any zoom and the MFD screen is unusable until you get within 2km because of the TV seeker sight they gave it blocking the view.
Wish they would model it correctly. It should be far more useful especially for Sim but they won’t correct it.
What works? The TCS lock? I just tested it, it doesn’t. Just to be sure I tried the same thing with the AV-8B+ targeting pod and it works fine.
Another nice gimmick it had that I forgot to mention is that locking a target with the TCS would give you a gun lead indicator. Because the F-14 radar is so bad (hdn only) this was sometimes the only way to get a lead indicator when in a dogfight or chasing someone. Other jets with a targeting pod like the AV8B+ still have that feature btw.
AWG-9 amazing radar buts nerfed as its supposed to be on par with F15A apg63v1 but its not in game and the F4J actually has a better radar
then please find any documents regarding the operation modes on the AWG-9 and prove it
we have been denied before about a million times
do you have any documents on the AWG-9
yes or no
because as far as i know there arent any primary sources on it out there
and i would like to have them as well
yes game uses fantasy numbers as most docs are export restricted
navair on f14A you can find it pretty easily
do you have a document YES or NO
even in the export resticted stuff there is nothing about the radar
trust me, i looked for it
It does? The lock slaves to the radar fine for me. Sometimes it does bug out but so long as I keep the radar lock I can deactivate the target point and it will snap back to the locked target.
i can tell you for a fact that there isnt anything major about its radar operating modes in there
did find this though
just a website with a spec sheet thats made not primary but a good secondary
Afaik radar stuffs are included to NAVAIR 01-F14AAA-1A, NAVAIR 01-F14AAP-1A, NAVAIR 01-F14AAD-1A.
They mainly describe weaponry, but there are no digital copies of those from the 1970s and 1980s, and those from the 1990s onwards are literally classified and impossible to find.
only the first image is about the radar modes
the second image has nothing to do with the radar itself and is about the IRST
the third image at best confirmes that it has TWS and explains how it works and isnt talking about target aspect
the fourth image is talking about the logic behind the radar and not about it being able to switch between HPRF and MPRF,
the thing ppl are complaining about, the radar only being in HDN PD and i didnt see any source that disproves that for now
and also please activate windows
