OllyFox80 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I killed a couple of planes in my F15c but the game crashed before the end when I was going to have a look at the chat and i'm wondering what they were and if anyone can help, On my TEWS it said 29 - so I assume mig 29's. But I read about NCTR and on looking at a vid I recorded it says P or F15 - which I guess is an F15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 but your rwr is not your radar, it could have been another 27/29's radar you were picking up that wasn't on your scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyFox80 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 It was just as i'd been following 29 signals so made the assumption but guess it could of been a coincidence Is the NCTR code for an F15c - F15 (and there's no such thing as a P15 code?). Or could it be possible that the 29 signal was actually an F15c? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston 60 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The RWR code for an F-15C is 15 with a ^ above it The RWR code for a SA-15 SAM radar is 15 The RWR code for a Patriot SAM radar is P CPU: i7 980x @ 4.2GHz RAM: 24gb Corsair Vengeance MB: Gigabyte Sniper X58 w/onboard Soundblaster X-Fi HD: SanDisk 480gb SSD OS: Win7 Pro 64bit VIDEO CARD: EVGA GTX 980ti FTW MONITOR: LG 34" Ultrawide 2560x1080 MP SERVER: ibuypower i7-4810MQ w/Win7 Home 64bit GEAR: Saitek X-52 Pro; Combat Rudder Pedals; Throttle Quadrants.

OllyFox80 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 I was following a 29 signal, which can be a su 27 or mig 29 I understand, but what about NCTR codes? ie. when you have a target locked in STT mode - I read the 'NCTR' bottom left on the radar tells you what's locked and sure it said p15/f15 (hard to read) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston 60 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Could you have had another F-15 locked? Next time try zooming in closer on your radar to see what it says you have locked.

probad Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 if your radar says its locked onto a f15 then its locked onto an f15 simple as that there arent any funky code names or anything for what you lock up on the radar if nctr can id it at all it will spell it out clearly if its a su27 or f15 or c135 so dont overthink it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchesterdelta1 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yup.. it was probably a F-15 with his radar of behind the SU-27. Flanker pilots sometimes ask you to turn the radar off so they can have better SA on their RWR. So you probably only seen 1 radar contact but only the other plane was emitting. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OllyFox80 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Cheers all. On reading about NCTR - the "codes" weren't clear (nor the code on my vid). They weren't clear as there is no short code - it just states the planes name! And in hindsight I think I was lucky to kill those two F15's. They must of been out of scope or had their radar's off and flying close to the 29 signals I was following (su27 or mig29). They would of also seen me the whole time on their TWCS's as my radar was on trying to catch those 29 signals. Never crossed my mind that F15c pilots would turn their radars off as I understood they've got the best so will always see first (mig21bis fair enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feefifofum Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 While the Eagle's RADAR is vastly superior to that of older fighters like the MiG-21, and offers advantages over those in the Flanker or Fulcrum with respect to tracking multiple targets, the detection range when properly configured is comparable. Don't count on seeing the bad guys first if you're up against other 4th generation aircraft or you might wind up with a nasty surprise from a Flanker who sneaks under your blaring RADAR and lets an R-27ET fly. :) THE GEORGIAN WAR - OFFICIAL F-15C DLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 depends on the range remember that the swath of sky a radar sees gets exponentially smaller as range decreases so its possible they had their radars on but you were close enough to be outside their radar's field of view ofc im just spewing generalities without having seen any recordings you should just tacview it up if your interested in ever really finding out what happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
