1Shot1KiLL Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 l wanted to ask COBRA or VİCTORY about the STT lock. when ever jester locks up a target at STT mode , he looses lock straight away and most of the time he wont be able to eaven lock it up. he eaven drops a lock at say 8 miles at a enemy comeing head on or going cold. A human rio doesnt have much succsess at holding locks for more than 3 seconds mostly either ? was it that easy to loose lock in the F-14 in reality or is there an issue at the moment ? many are wondering the saim thing but everyones oppinion is diferent so can l pls gets some clarity on the subject by a develipor or VİCTORY WHO actialy piloted the f14. regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Roth Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Cant speak to real but you might try the below and try to isolate it down to what is actually happening. Might help if there is an actual issue with troubleshooting it. There could be all sorts of things going on that can cause a lock to break. The two main reasons I loose lock is pilot is cranking to hard and the radar just cant seem to keep up or the target is either to far away to a P-PD hand-off or I missed when I should have done it. To eliminate the tracking issue flying try straight and level and slow banks. To eliminate a P to PD hand-off issue stay under the target and don't let him get into ground clutter and keep the closure rate greater than + or - 150 (book says 100 but I hand-off at 150 to be safe. Try those and see if you can narrow it down to explain it better. Trying to troubleshoot an open comment is near impossible without more information.

FSKRipper Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) When you lock it with PAL the target is less than 10nm in a very tight scan cone. I suppose thats the reason you got 4 different radar modes as a pilot, its not Jesters job to lock targets in a furball. If i remember correctly Victory already said that the fast lock mode where the Rio directly controls the antenna (forgot the name) is near to useless.
