And dont forget about how really hot maps can make it so u cant lock an after burning jet or heli further out than 3km, which is too close to even guide it in which is just sad.

is that 3 separate missiles for 3 separate targets plus 1 for manual? Because if so thats kinda fucked…
Yes. 3 targets guided automatically, and one you guide by hand. On the video i send above you can see 2 guided by the game, and me tracking the 3rd by hand (i just move the mouse around, but the lock is on it)
now I know why they made bomb interceptable this patch

Apparently there is no bug report in for:
- missing IFF
- low intensity laser
- IRST issues

No wonder they can always shoot down my bombs while still forcing me to dodge theirs.
Well i know that the IFF was reported. They replied saying that having your commander specially IFF the target for the gunner didnt mean it should have it.
Yeah, basically i think it the vehicle would tell the commander if it was a friendly or not, and then the commander decided weather or not to acept it. It was a two step process that made sure no freinlies were mistaken. I think gaijin took this as the commander being the iff itself and denying it, seemed stupid back then and still does now.

So, a normal IFF
This is from memory so maybe the commander did infact do it all himself. All i remember is that the commander has a table with a screen that shows where the friendlies are around him, so maybe he can cross reference that with the irst and stop the computer from detecting them.
Ill see if i could find the image that was used.
No, that screen shows everything that IRST sees. Ground targets, drones, helicopters, planes, missiles ets, and all of them can have a: Friendly, Enemy, neutral unknown mark.
You literaly has a IFF mode change
Normal - working
Standby - standby
IRS placed over the map
Menu here is not known for sure. It just might be a showing a correct option from all of them, or might be a manual override.

fair enough, i was just trying to remember what gajijn said about it.
That I think only applies to the earliest iteration of the darts, they didn’t have to small charge in them at that point and were basically tungsten long rods that you could steer
Posted it when it was late, so didn’t even pay attention to what the link looked like… thx for the reply although a month late!

Don’t worry its not a classified doc, was part of the World wide equipment guide, which is readily accessable. although I should have seen this earlier, being how careless I was since I was up late when posting that comment. and only now seeing a month later…

Dev’s rejected it since it was a encyclopeida type source, which they explained that they refuse to use such sources, since they have a list that specificies what sources they allow, and this doesn’t fit it.
Here is a interview with Thales manager, and he clearly says Stormer has IFF
