Well, sudo did most of it already.
F-16A MLU & F-16AM misalignment of AGM-65 HUD Reticle and AGM-65 missing HUD symbology and radar slaving:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/BGlSWNjMcd6A
I made the report because currently in the game can only equip the F-16 with an early model MAU-12 pylon.
F-16C/D, F-16A-MLU have incorrect pylon model

I just want radar hmd man, surprised the radar can’t support it

From what I can tell the HMD bits (along with some other interesting stuff) is in the Tape M3 doc
I asked a senior tech mod about it and was told that due to the “explicit export restriction warning and distribution statement D” the Tape M3 doc can’t be used …
Kind of a shame as 40nm ACM and HMD, and finally fixing the HMD (On all planes) and making it act like ACM mode and acquire targets automatically without the need to repeatedly press the lock button, would be nuts …
Yeah, the 40 NM would be nuts. Type 1493 has 74 km lock range on the DEV. I was going to use the 40 NM range alongside some other “evidence” to show that there are no technical restrictions on a boresight HMS in terms of lock ranges on Soviet radars (the 10 km on the N019 and 5 km on the N001 should only apply to vertical ACM).
There is another thing that could probably be reported (depending on if it is listed in the earlier Tapes or the 34-1) and that is the 50° wide 3 bar TWS exclusive mode on APG-66/68 radars (did you or anyone report that already?).
Oh, and thanks for doing the HMS suggestion. Was too lazy to do one myself.
Isn’t Soviet HMD for the IRST (rather than radar) anyways?
IIRC the HMD equipment is part of the IRST system / directly connected to it.
Potentially with the ability to then transfer the lock to radar.
The only issue I can see with that would be the limitation of IRST laser range finder (Since realistically you would have to supply range information to the radar to reliably transfer the lock from IRST to radar)
For example one source mentions a range of “0.2 to 3km” for OEPS-29:
And for OEPS-27 it says “affords aiming” so it’s probably also only a few km if the source is correct:
This potentially means that the Soviet radar HMD is either ahistorical or severely overperforming in range …
Let’s continue the Soviet HMD discussion in the Flanker thread:
