Dannyvandelft Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Can you only lock on using the TMS switch and the left MFD, or does it have a search mode in the HUD that you can use? Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Harker Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 You'll want to use the ACM radar modes. Either by selecting them through the FCR page (press CRM to display more options) or more easily by going into DGFT mode, with the mode switch on the throttle. Then you'll have access to Bore (and slaved to the HMCS if you use it), Vertical and Wide acquisition modes. Give the Early Access manual a read, it'll probably explain it with more detail.

Yeah I need to delve deeper into the manual. My head is still spinning from the Tomcat one lol. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Just don't expect the AMRAAM to be as maneuverable as a Sidewinder, of course. But it's definitely usable, under the right circumstances. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

Eagle7907 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 I agree. It’s definitely useful when winders don’t have the reach but you can still lock up in DGFT mode. Only time I really did that using 120s was bandit was trying to run when I was busy splashing his buddy. Found him, he was cold and accelerating but well within the envelope.
