jetstorm96 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Normally when you ask for a Target lock or enemy lock Jester will IFF interrogate and of friendly will make a call out “we locked a friendly” and unlock the target. Tonight he locked a friendly and I ended up shooting down the friendly F-14 as I had no idea he was bad. This occurred twice and I have resulted to having to Monitor the f10 map and altitude readings. So bazaar! Is there a way to IFF as the pilot? I’m so worried now about anything I lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarkbomb Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I've been seeing this quite a bit as well, Jester calls 'bogey,' I tell him to STT lock the enemy ahead, and right after I get the lock indication in the HUD he'll call it a friendly.

Deano87 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 FYI "Bogie" is specifically an aircraft of unknown identity that hasn't been confirmed either friendly or enemy. Once he locks it he can IFF it and then identify it as a friendly or an enemy (Bandit).

Max_Rogue Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Yeah, big difference between bogey and bandit. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadpool Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I - as a human RIO - also had it some times that before STT lock I wouldn't get an IFF return. I'd say in that sense Jester is nicely human in making mistakes that can cost you. 1 Lincoln said: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."

Mr. Farknocker Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I experienced a problem similar to what is described here during a MP game play last night. I asked Jester to STT lock the enemy ahead. After Jester locks up the bandit, he says "that's a friendly". I then break the lock and turn away to evade an incoming missile from the bandit. After successfully dodging the missile, I turn to ree engage the bandit by asking Jester to lock up the enemy ahead. Jester locks up the same bandit and then says "that's a friendly." I break the lock again and attempt to notch a second missile fired by the bandit only to get shot down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
