That’s still fine, hopefully they do all the IRST and TCS stuff well since it sounds really cool and can come onto some future export strike eagles in the Tiger Eyes IRST

yeah, imagine if they add the ability to guide radar missiles using irst.
Would make the sparrow basically unnotchable (the irst steers the cw antenna, so you would still get a wanning, but as long as the irst can stay on the target it will guide in)

How much harder is it to defeat the CW antenna?
no the cw antenna itself is just following the irst. you would have to defeat the irst itself

You can’t chaff the CW antenna at all when it’s in that mode? So it’s basically like a perfect headon lock always with IRST+CW mode?

scroll from this convo I had earlier in the original f-14 thread about this exact thing

I could be wrong but I believe slaving is with the tcs not radar to irst I’m pretty sure it’s tcs to radar or tcs to irst but I could be wrong.
They’re all interconnected. And for ARH’s I don’t even think they need a solid radar track, just send it straight to the missile from the IRST or TCS since they give Trackfiles.

Ofc unfortunately gaijin removed launching fox 3s from irst so I doubt we will see this amazing feature in game
F-14D IRST interface and BOL drops shown from the IRST.

IRST or Lantirn?..
Just checked, it’s definitely LANTIRN. I got tripped up with the thermals and it locking the aircraft.

does f-14d irst have ranging?
99% sure it does
does it do it with a laser?
I’m pretty sure just using IRSTs, you need 2 aircraft to do ranging. When you include the radar/tcs/ew/ecm systems, that changes. I’m not sure if LANTIRN could do that.
