Oh boi…
(This is a full sentence, change my mind)
Exactly, no LOAL IR missiles in the game yet, that’s what I’ve been saying
I am not in a position to decide what and where is in the game. All I have pointed out is that there is a historical/military link between the two nations. Of course, as you wrote, as the game shifts to the Cold War and the modern era, this relationship seems less significant. /3-4 years ago it would have looked different/

Yea it does, generally all missiles in-game with “DL” in their statcard have Datalink, so far only the AIM-54s and R-27(E)Rs. All upcoming ARHs we can test atm also have Datalink.
-
there is datalink that simply helps with finding a target
-
datalink that helps with range because the intensity of radar waves is bigger so the radars literally combine
But what benefits will we get from that anyways? I dont see any point of using a ir missile that way unless its a long range one like the R-27ET
no thats not how it work
In game absolutely nothing unless they make it unrealistic, because two radars would have to focus on a target to lock it properly in order to launch a missile but in game we dont even have the rangers to care about + you would need team work
Data link is a system to share information between devices.
While data link can be used to share information between radar systems, it cannot be used to “increase the intensity of radar waves”

I was talking about LOAL capable IR missiles.

yh its common sense that they share information, but radars can do just what i said by sharing information
radars sharing information? ==== datalink
now if its called exactly datalink or it has a different name I have no idea, but its clear that it uses datalink anyhow
Radar and missiles
Data link is just the sharing of data it isn’t presice enough to guide a missile to target
but hows that thing called
So two radars try to find for example a jet that is at a bigger range than what just 1 radar could properly lock, so the 2 radars focus on the same target using datalink (first radar informs the second one on the location) and they lock it together then launch a missile. This is how anti missile SAMs work
yes thats what i said
It’s not just limited to two radars. Multiple radars can provide datalink.
YES YES YES I SAID EARLIER “+2”
bet its a sentence?
I don’t know how they call that concept, but that is not what data link is, it’s just something that you can do as a result of having the ability to share information between these systems
