Ignition Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 Why the AWACS in DCS is so useless when you most need it? In particular when you request Bogey Dope it should call the bandits in order, the closest to you should be the first, I don't know if this is true in real life but it makes a lot of sense. A lot of times I got merged with a bandit and the AWACS still calls bandits hundreds of miles away and then after a while it tells me I'm merged. Or sometimes I have the closest bandit at for example at 40nm and it still call bandits further away first. :mad: It should have a queue and it should prioritize the most dangerous threats always.

Bogey Dope should call only the nearest target for you and afair it does that exactly. The other calls are just usual updates.

It's not their job anymore. Use your SA for that. Or sometimes I have the closest bandit at for example at 40nm and it still call bandits further away first. :mad:. Maybe if requested Picture... don't know what is the order then.. It should have a queue and it should prioritize the most dangerous threats always. You have RWR fot that. What aircraft do you fly?

What aircraft do you fly? I do have rwr and I do have eyes, what I say is I was already in the dogfight and the AWACS was still calling other threats before it said I was in the merge. I have a mission with multiple aircrafts and the AWACS takes a lot of time calling the targets and doesn't prioritize the closest to you. Maybe you're playing with a few enemies.
Cik Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 it's not very good. it has no filter, comes very slowly, doesn't really update you on things that actually matter. unfortunately this kind of ruins lots of the older modules, as they really, really need guidance to the target, which they won't get without a real human AWACS. 3rd gen aircraft are unrealistically bad ingame because they lack real target cueing they should have.
Mainstay Posted September 9, 2018 Posted September 9, 2018 AWACS and ATC are two factors that need alot of work right now since they are way past product life cycle
