Despite me looking online and being unable to find anything on it but I feel like the CLAWS(TEL) should of the capabilities to fires its AIM9Xs w/o a radar lock from, its TADS. While the Aim9X has datalink which it was allowing it to be fired from a radar lock and not an ir lock, it is still an ir missile which should be able to turn on its seeker and can an ir lock regardless. And also with the possible change where you can change your loadout of the CLAWS, being able to not use or even lose your radar TADS, the Claws(TEL) would be more than fast enough to be able to run around the map and goto capture point and be able to replenish ammo. But what does eveyone else thinks?

Plus I was able to do this by just spamming the “fire from special guns” button, however still can get an acutal ir lock before locking, just kinda praying that its work
Isn’t the CLAWS (TEL) launcher fixed in elevation (other than folding in transit)? I don’t think you can really aim the missiles at planes unless they just happen to be flying at the right altitude.
On the other hand, if CLAWS is allowed to fire without radar, then the AIM-120s should be able to do so too, not just the 9Xs, since they’ve added the mad dog mode for the Tan-SAM Kai.

It is a fixed launcher, but back when it was on its origal DEV server, if you went into the TEL when you were able to elevate and depress it
That’s because it was work in progress.
And launcher of CLAWS lack any form of controls, that would allow it to fire, inside the launcher. So no, it should not have that ability.
