Hello all,
I'm having a blast flying this bird, I've played mostly SP and in these last few days I've tried spending some time playing multiplayer on the 104th server.
The question is: how do you guys know if a contact is a bandit or fiendly since the F-5 lacks an IFF interrogator?
I'm so scared to shoot down a friendly that I have yet to fire any missile, each time getting close enough to have a visual only to get killed a second later.
Reading around in the forum it seems to me that there are ways to IFF a contact without an IFF interrogator:
- F10 and check if any friendlies are nearby: can't be used on the 104th since contacts are not shown on the map (right?)
- visual contact and check if plane is of other faction: can't be used on the 104th since planes are mixed between RED and BLUE
- call raygun on TS: seems a little strange to me to have to call raygun on TS each time I lock a contact...I think It would get soon very annoying to everybody else having me shouting raygun each time
generally speaking, my SA is very bad :(
how do you guys "IFF" while flying MP in the F-5? Tips?
