GrEaSeLiTeNiN Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) Hi, we know STT focuses radar energy on a single target lock but are there any fundamental differences between RWS SPT/DTT and TWS SPT/DTT?

Tiger-II Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 RWS can only track a single target. RWS 1st designate: track bugged target but keep scanning RWS 2nd designate: STT mode. RADAR stops scanning and tracks selected target. All other contacts lost. TWS 1st designate: designate as first target (STT), but TWS continues tracking other targets TWS 2nd designate (SAME TARGET): RADAR tracks only one target, others lost TWS 2nd designate (DIFFERENT TARGET): Enters DTT mode. Tracks two bugged targets and other targets. Allows firing of two SD-10 at two different targets simultaneously.

It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."

I think you got some things wrong there, also I wasn't talking about STT :) AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | Gigabyte RTX 3070 Gaming OC 8GB | 64GB G.SKILL TRIDENT Z4 neo DDR4 3600Mhz | Asus B550 TUF Plus Gaming | 2TB Aorus Gen4 TM Warthog HOTAS | TrackIR 5 | Windows 10 Home x64 | My HOTAS Profiles
Tiger-II Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Only in my use of STT. ;) RWS can only bug/lock a single target. TWS can bug TWO targets, but if you double-designate a single target it still then only tracks one target exclusively, same in RWS mode. Clearer?

I understand what you are saying but that’s not my question. RWS can bug two different targets just like TWS. Have you tried it? I am not talking about double designating to get STT. This is before STT.

Tiger-II Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Oh! I thought only TWS could do that?

LastRifleRound Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I don't think there is any difference in the tracked targets themselves. The main difference is TWS maintains track files on the non-bugged targets whereas RWS does not.

Just the difference in how it's used and how the contacts are presented. In the Hornet, I can see that I would use TWS for multiple target launches since its RWS doesn't support that. But in the JF-17, it would seem TWS has not a lot of advantage over RWS at the moment.

AeriaGloria Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Well TWS has smaller scan zone and less bar overlap to make up for fewer bars. So that would mean if you don’t care so much about seeing people far away from the two people you need to track or the two people you are tracking are close together, TWS should give you faster updates right? And RWS gives more bars which are closer together and larger azimuth range, if it’s update rate is slower it can’t be much more stable, but I guess the advantage is situational awareness? Just as confused as all of you! Can’t wait to test it out:) Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
