How to get Jester using DL to find targets ?

[itarrow]

Hey there, I wonder if there's any way to have Jester "using" DL contacts to search and lock targets.

 

I'm using DCE campaigns (Tomcat over Caucasus) but I assume it's the same also in other missions: I get DL targets on the display, but Juster often seems not to see it or use it, even when they are in range.

 

I understand Jester has some limits and shouldn't see what is not "visible" by the radar, but if there's an E2 assisting, I also assume a RIO should be able to use DL information to search and find targets.

 

Is there any specific command or "best practice" I should use to be sure that Jester can rely also on DL info to lock some targets, or Jester simply don't/can't use DL info ?

I would say just look at your TID repeater and steer towards DL contacts and make Jester pick them up, select TWS AUTO or STT and go from there.

Will try with TWS Auto and see if I get better results... So far even switching between RWS/TWS didn't brought consistent results.

 

And BTW, I assume Jester (or a RIO) should be able to look for those Target by himself, as we already get the contacts from the E2...

That won't help since TWS-A is not using DL targets.

Most of the time, Jester has no problem STTing a DL target if you tell him to. If he is unable, the target is probably in YOUR notch (as opposed to not being in the E-2's notch).
