... but they keep chatting about "Magic Bras" in my earpiece. I have no idea what they are talking about.

Some are supposedly hot - some seem to be cold. There's pop-up groups all about.

 

Do I need to improve my pimp skills or is there a reasonable explanation for it all?

Hahahaha....

 

 

Magic is callsign of AWACS.

 

Check out the communications section of the flight manual, or preferably, flaming cliffs flight manual of any aircraft.

 

BRA = Bearing, Range, Altitude from ownship. For example, BRA 009 for 20 at 13000

Enemy is now on 009° on your ships compass, 20 nautical miles, at 13000 feet.

 

Cold= Angle off tail > 90° (giving you his back, or starts to).

Hot = Angle off tail < 90° (turning to face you, or already facing you)

Flanking = Angle off tail = 90° ( reciprocal or similar to your course meaning both you and him are parallel to eachother, either receding (going away from eachother), or approaching (eachother).

 

Pop up group is self explanatory, meaning the AWACS just picked up a bogey or bogey group (enemy shipS) for the first time on their radar.

 

BULLS(Bullseye) = a predesignated location back at command headquarters for directing forces from a known location, but when enemy hears the same transmission, they say: "hey what is bulls?" It is like point Tango which members of the same coalition use to know eachothers location without saying names of obvious towns on the map over the radio.

 

Then they have their own bullseye.

AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS

 

Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.

My daily lesson of learn has come!

Now I even understand what the "009 for 20 at 13000" terminology means. It's basically easy, but I suck balls when faced with a wall of numbers. It's like a foreign language.

 

And while I try to figure out what they mean, I usually forget what the first part of them numbers was. Especially when I keep imagining magic bras.
