Steelpanther Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 it has happened to me a couple times on hoggit server that I go dogfight mode on sub 20mile contact. I lock him up in boresight STT dogfight. Then I was in the default IFF interrogation mode which was scan. I make two scans and they both show, not friendly. I shoot the amraam from 10 miles. but it was blue on blue on a friendly tomcat. According to chucks guide F-16 manual the IFF scan mode should be able to be used against dogfight mode stt locked target, and be effective at interrogation. my own IFF scan mode was working perfectly earlier in TWS regular CRM radar mode earlier that sortie. But the IFF interrogation should also work when in dogfight mode and against STT locked target. my own thinking on this is that either 1.) tomcat made wrong iff codes on his own end 2.) game bug somewhere 3.) dogfight locked target cannot be IFF interrogated in real life??? 4.) I must have gone color blind for a period of two seconds or somehow missed the IFF scan results. can someone test with with viper and tomcat to verify if I'm hallucinating or something lol the tomcat was probably in his own RWR blindspot with regard to my radar. But Im not sure if that should affect the iff results. (I was almost aiming at his canopy , headon)
Steelpanther Posted December 27, 2020 Author Posted December 27, 2020 ok, i did a small test in single player with viper and tomcat and it does appear that STT locked IFF scan still does work properly, at least against AI tomcat. The thing is though that the response seems to take a long time like almost 3-4 seconds for a single scan to complete. It seems like IFF scan mode works faster to complete the scan, with TWS as opposed to STT locked target. Im thinking that what I did on hoggit server I maybe started a second IFF scan without the earlier scan having completed in the 4 seconds. Its probably that or the tomcat dude legit had wrong IFF codes.
Scubamurph Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Sounds like the Tomcat didn't have their IFF switched on.
