Perhaps someone else could test it. I had an AWACS giving me BRA at 80 miles /15000ft / flanking info on a pair of SU25s after a previous engagement with the AIM 120s.

 

Radar was reset from the 40 mile scale that selecting the AIM120 sets, back to my customary 80 mile range, yet I was picking up nothing. I continued to fly the bearings given and suddenly, on the 40 mile range bar they were picked up.

Radar was set on 6 bars and 140 degrees, antenna slightly low as I was at 30,000ft, so the radar should have picked up a return far before. Could maybe have understood if they were head on, but they were crossing right to left. Big RCS.

 

It looks like the scale is resetting as selected, but the actual scan is still stuck on 40miles after AMRAAM.

It's a pulse Doppler radar so it needs a VC, a target at 90 aspect has no closure and is in the radars notch, doesn't matter how big his rcs is if he is in the notch.

 

That may explain it tho the F14 radar has displayed some weird behavior.

No, I tend to switch air to air mode off when not actually locking something up. Declutters the HUD.

Makes sense. When I'm getting a series of crossing bearings, I'll try lagging the target by 30 degrees or so, instead of leading it.

See if that breaks it out earlier.

Thanks.
