Many vs. Many BVR (with Jester)?

[VC]

I'm curious about how you've optimised your tactics for this given that Jester is lacking some capabilities. For example, had a squad training, fairly easy intercept missions 3x F-14s vs bombers + escorts (total 9 targets).

 

Now, ideally we would fire 3 Phoenixes each and different targets, but all our TWS default to the same target priority so we'd end up hitting targets 1, 2 and 3... 3 times each. I don't think at the moment there's a way to tell Jester to change the target numbering? We ended up all firing in STT at different targets but this is very slow to get all of them. Even that's awkward because TWS only tracks 6, so I can't fire at target 7, 8 or 9 untile 1 through 6 are all down.

 

Would it work better if just one guy fired all his Phoenixes in TWS then the other two waited to see what's left? The problem there is targets stay tracked and prioritised long after they're splashed, so you could still accidentally waste a missile by firing at something that was already going down.

 

How do you approach this kind of engagement without human RIOs?

Yeah, would be good to see some ability for Jester to re-prioritise for multi-F14 flight engagement. Something like a TWS command to "Bump Prioritisation" & a sub menu of 1 to 6...
