smatchimo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I've looked for the answer to this, but just cant figure it out. Can the F-15 BVR lock more than 1 target at once,( I thought the training video said this was possible, but I couldnt figure out how) and if so what is the default key to do this. At the moment I am locking one target and firing, lock next target and firing....(repeat). It seems a little dangerous. The second part to the question is............Once I have released the missle does the radar have to stay on? Or does the missle need the radar to keep tracking the target. Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I am new to the modern era a/c capabilities. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will only guide your AIM-120s and you must activate TWS mode with ALT-I. The second part to the question is............Once I have released the missle does the radar have to stay on? Or does the missle need the radar to keep tracking the target. Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I am new to the modern era a/c capabilities. Cheers! That depends. For AIM-120 and AIM-9 you won't need a radar at all (especially for the AIM-9, and at close ranges for the AIM-120) but you will need to guide an AIM-7 all the way. Lose lock, lose the missile. Likewise, the AIM-120's seeker has only a limited range, so long range shots require you to keep a lock on the target at least until the missile goes active (ie. it activates its own radar).

capttrob Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 The only dumb question is the question not asked. :) You are looking for whatis called TWS mode. Hit "i" to turn on your radar. Then hit "Alt-i" to get TWS. In this mode you can designated multiple targets. TWS in the F-15 has its problems though... do a search in these forums to learn more about TWS mode... good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
