B-7

I see, I was mostly curious about “is that done or not”, cause I can see other TEFs uses in a combat situation too. The solution of targeting pod or even markpoint is really quite obvious, but one of the 701 advantages is that it doesn’t really need it (having it’s own camera). Thanks anyway.

Hi there. I’m only starting to learn DCS and the Thunder (ages of experience with civilian flight sims), and so far it’s amazingly different experience, so first of all, thanks to the Deka team. So far, I’m learning to operate and use the AG weaponry, and it brought up a question. In a CAS scenario (I imagine this thing wasn’t specifically made for it, but should be capable), with low chances of AA in the area, when I’m trying to lock something like a 701, it proves pretty hard, that thing is going really fast and you basically have to coax the FPV and the seeker. But that also makes, well, the close in a straight line, so you don’t have much time. The question is: would it be a valid procedure for the jets of that kind (including say F-16 or F-5) to drop the TEFs for this kind of engagement, to have additional precision and lower speed, and better recovery chances? I’m already actively using speedbrakes for it, but that looks like a possibly working idea to me.
