Nansaram Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) I think in Gun selected weapon mode, PAL, VSL, VSH is not working, there is no radar cursor moving in HUD. I use sidewinder mode and activate PAL or VSL/VSH and than change gun mode. Is it bug or real F-14's actual? Edited April 5, 2019 by Nansaram
backspace340 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 It works, it just doesn't show the radar cursor because in guns mode the diamond symbology is used to show where your bullets will be at a certain distance. It is still scanning and will lock a target if it finds one.

Gun Jam Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 I had the same question... Thanks. I have a terrible time locking targets with the gun it seems to work much better to switch to SW then lock the target then switch back to guns but often there isnt time. PLM seems to be the most reliable but often there isnt time to get the cross on target. VSH makes the most sense but Im not sure ive ever got it to lock with gun selected. I just make 90% of my kills by moving the pipper to where I think it should be and make short burst. now that I know the PAL, VSL and VSH work apparently ill practice more with them. A quick aside... I see an X appear near the bottom of the hud particularly at closer ranges with gun. Is that an indication that the computed firing solution is invalid (too close) and to just use the force?

The WCS is telling you you're getting too close, and might fly into the target. Its a reminder not to target fixate.
Gun Jam Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Sweet thanks man....I pretty much use it as the "nows a good time to shoot because you have a good chance of making those rounds count" :)
