In such situation, as you quoted above, pressing pushbutton 15 (RSET) or the Cage/Uncage will automatically select highest threat if you are already in SP mode.

For me it seems to there is certain delay for updating threat rank for SP targeting. You fired too fast IMHO. I have no idea if this delay is correct or not. About RWR filter, I agree. Friendly should not displayed in normal setting just like HB's F-14.

Your video clearly shows first HARM's target.

AAA at 10km away is waaaaaaaaaay higher threat than IFV or APC with 30mm at 2km of course.

How both pods can track target that started to curve after completely masked by body like in these tracks? ATFLIR_mask.trk LIGHTNING_mask.trk

It's a really shame that advertised improvement just turned out worse with 30 minutes of tests. INS + Datalink is definitely improvement but if ED really implemented velocity gate and Kalman filters for AMRAAM's seeker, how can AMRAAM jump from moving target to just floating chaffs? It does not make any sense for me. To begin with, it's ok that ARH's seeker having difficulty to track beaming target due to zero doppler shift. However then why ARH be able to find chaffs with zero doppler shift?

1. You are using TWS MAN. This means RADAR tries to track contact but won't adjust azimuth and elevation. You have to adjust those to maintain track in this mode. TWS AUTO automatically adjust azimuth and elevation to track L&S target. Use TWS AUTO. 2. Set TARGET AGING. This is clearly explained in above wags video and @Hulkbust44 's post. Default aging setting is by no means usable. I always set TARGET AGING to 16 and TWS AUTO track L&S target just fine in BVR regime.

Of course it is not implemented in current AV-8B. What I wrote about "Engage with..." is it would be nice to have this command in AV-8B like A-10C and JF-17. Picture is from A-10C. Anyway thanks @Hornet81

Currently, the way to order AI wingman is very limitted in AV-8B. F1 "Engage my target" should order AI to engage specific target designated by sensor(radar, TV camera etc) but not working in AV-8B. F3~F6 command does work. However these commands are very vague and there is no guarantee that AI will attack target you want. F7&F8 also work but only for preplaned targets set in ME, not for target of opportunity engagement. In addition, ED's A-10C and Deka's JF-17 have advanced command for AI. "Engage with" command orders AI to attack specific targets around "SPI". You will have another options like weapon, attack heading. I know most of AI work is ED's job but I think adding this command is possible by 3rd party like Deka, and this command will add great flexibility in SP, make AV-8B enjoyable more than ever.

Fixed aleady. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/stable/2.7.2.8165.2/ APKWS missiles don't start engine if fired by AI - fixed.

1:25 and 1:48 radar went MEM mode momentally due to hard roll that radar could not keep up and AMRAAM lost midcourse guidance. Avoid hard maneuver with target near gimbal limit or TWS is better option for guiding AMRAAM right now in DCS.

Yes, reaction time is same, but it is clear that problem got worse than before. Now simply AI can't fight in BVR arena. Very core part of "COMBAT SIMULATER" is in worst state. March of improving AI will be very long and hard quest as ED already know than any other people. However before starting march it's better to confirm that you are in good state to depart. Proper fix with improved AI is very welcomed but leaving current state for long time is also terrible decision.

Personally I prefer reverting back to pre 2.7 behavior than waiting months for "correct" fix which will introduce another lode of bugs and problems.

No. Still broken.

Even a smallest boat can be detected by SEA mode in DCS. Why not BMP-3? SEAmode.trk

Deka's SD-10 lofts smoothly and conserve energy very well. In fact, adding only one line code into lua makes HB's AIM-54 smoothly loft and conserve it's energy.

Currently Air to Air radar can be used to designate target for AI wingman. However, during Air to Ground role, there is no way to assign specific target for AI wingman other than pre defined in mission editor. Or order "engage target of opportunity" and just let them do stupid things. It would be nice to enable "Attack my target" command with TGP point tracking target so that AI wingman can be used more efficient way. (Like already possible in KA-50 or JF-17.)

Thanks for answer. Hope this will be corrected by improvement of new missile API.

I think main problem is ARH seeker just keeps tracking target forever even if missile itself run out of battery to guide. Is this correct?

No. F/A-18's TWS is still only able to guide AMRAAM to L&S target. So shooting multiple bandits with AMRAAM is really hard or impossible even almost seven months passed since first introduction of TWS.

> AIM-120 launch in LTWS or TWS gives RWR launch warning to the target in MP - fixed How can ED "test" such things with current Hornet's radar? Just can't believe.

Let's attach trk for proper report. AI_LGB.trk

What missile will be updated next? R-27 or R-77?
