Prophet_169th Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 For Russian radar. If it is a single horizontal line, -, then it is enemy. This line can have multiple dashes shows signal return strength like, ---. For friendly it will be, =, or ===, depending on signal return strength. For Russian EOS, there is no friendly/foe. All contacts return as -, ---, depending on thermal signature. You MUST use radar to IFF. For F15, a horizontal bar is enemy, a dot is friendly.

4c Hajduk Veljko Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 For Russian EOS, there is no friendly/foe. All contacts return as -, ---, depending on thermal signature. You MUST use radar to IFF.In Russian birds there is no IFF in VS, Bore, Helmet, FI0 modes and Shetka grid. Make sure you are in STT mode and check for a friendly letter on the left side of the HUD before firing the missile.

Prophet_169th Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Really, I can IFF in VS, Bore and HMTD just fine. My most common attack profile with a MiG29 is to lock with radar. When I 'Tally' the contact, I switch to HMTD. Hopefully I have a wingman who can keep an eye on the engagement. So no need to check IFF. But if there are multiple bandits, and both me and wingman need to engage then SA get lower. So you tend to break your eyes from contact, and you loose lock sometimes, maybe dodging missile. So in that case I am almost always in VS or HMTD, and default is EOS. When I lock a target, I always turn radar on real quick to check IFF and if no F, BOOM BABY!. Not always, sometimes the bastard gets me too :) But it should work, just remember that it comes on default in EOS, just turn radar on. I forget the symbology on left of HUD. 1 is EOS, 1 is Radar, 1 is active return, the bottom is IFF. If you are in HMTD for example, with EOS on, Radar on, and a bogey locked... if all 4 letter are on, firing would result in criminal charges hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thank you mates, but today I witnessed on my tws in a mig29 a triangle shoot down a circle (friendly). I then engaged the triangle (enemy) so i thought), shot him down in bore sight mode and was given a negative 100 points. Is this a Bug ? regards Noboru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
