probably the other way around since the radar is what’s capable of providing ranging information.
radar is slaved to the IRST, once the IRST picks something up the radar is aimed, picks up an iFF beacon and finds the range, then keeps scanning
So ingame it would probably work as a much slower and laggier version of TWS
yeah pretty much
You are wrong. Its not TWS at all.
Its locked in the IRST while the radar remains in search mode. It in no way shape or form functions like a traditional TWS or what is even understood as TWS. It wont get added to WT since WT lacks combined IRST and Radar functions.

this sounds exactly like TWS to me, just with two sensors.
IRST tracks and can slave the radar to itself at any moment, while the radar searches

Because you dont know what TWS means
“Track-while-scan (TWS) is a mode of radar operation in which the radar allocates part of its power to tracking a target or targets (up to forty with modern radar) while part of its power is allocated to scanning.”
It is by definition not TWS and again will not be added because WT lacks combined IRST and Radar functionality
i know exactly what TWS means, do not patronize me.
if you knew what reading is, you’d know that “sounds exactly like TWS” doesn’t mean “this is literally TWS”
its not by the wikipedia definition
but for example the Mig-17PT does have track while scan but is only able to track a single target
so does the A-32 Lansen
they both are able to track a target while still scanning
Point is moot because again
will not be added because WT lacks combined IRST and Radar functionality
You can think its TWS but it doesnt matter. It does not function like traditional TWS and I think that calling it TWS is not true.
ok i don’t care, it being possible or not isn’t my point

F-15EX will not be added to warthunder because F-15EX is not currently in warthunder type statement

Do you know how little they care about the MiG-23? If they actually fixed longstandings bugs with it id be more optimistic but considering they havent im not getting my hopes up in the fact that they will implement it
they care enough to move them down to 11.3 in sim because the players are too trash to avoid turnfighting planes they can’t turnfight

Balancing plane =/= caring about planes functionality :)
i just said they care “enough” to even just balance it, even if they’re unbalancing it

The upgraded P-24 (R-24M) missile is characterized by significantly higher noise immunity, as well as the appearance of a fundamentally new mode - targeting a helicopter hovering above the ground.
Nothing about higher G, different fins etc
-Р. Ангельский, В. Коровин - Отечественные управляемые ракеты класса «воздух-воздух» Часть 2.
This source has a single mention of the R-24M (Product 140M)
Later, the rocket underwent another modernization in accordance with a joint decision of the Air Force, the Ministries of Radio Industry and the Aviation Industry dated October 28, 1983. Already in 1984, the first four launches of K-24M missiles were carried out, equipped with advanced seeker systems with increased noise immunity and the ability to capture low-speed targets. In 1985, the MiG-23M N“420 launched four combat and one telemetry K-24M, including a Tu-16 jamming system and an Mi-4 helicopter standing on the ground with the engine running and the rotating propeller. In 1986, eight more launches were carried out on the MiG-21, which simulates cruise missiles, after which the R-24M (“product 140M”) was adopted.
Nothing else. So this just says better seekerhead.
В. Марковский, К. Перов - Советские авиационные ракеты “воздух-воздух”, 2005
The P-24P had a monopulse RGS-24 type seeker, as well as an on-board frequency tuning unit for the carrier, which made it possible to shorten the preparation time for flight
(the P-23P required special equipment from the SNO kit for this). The missiles hit maneuvering and low-altitude
targets more effectively, had high noise immunity, and made it possible to selectively hit objects in close formation. In addition to the GOS, the R-24 received a new PRD-287 engine, a modified wing configuration, and a warhead equipped with a Starling detonator. The overall layout of the missiles has also undergone changes: the gas generators from the central compartment were moved to the tail, to the rudders, and the turbogenerators of the power supply system were moved forward behind the warhead, to the consumers - the autopilot and the seeker. Subsequently, to combat jamming-proof targets, the GOS was upgraded, assigning the name R-24RM to the missile.
Again R-24RM only GOS upgraded nothing else again.
I would really like to know in what exact parts you found the higher G or lock range. Because this all just reads like nothing but a base R-24R with improved electronics.

Smh smh like a better seeker can enhance a missiles agilty so on smh smh
would be it, like R-40R and R-40RD
Then it would be mentioned anywhere.
nah the R-24Ms better seeker allows it to bend time and space to make the target unable to move out of the intercept path
