Is there a way to target bombers vs fighters?

[Theloaf]

I'm doing a campaign mission where I have to take out bombers in a strike force that includes escorts. Is there a way to tell Jester to ID and priotizie the bombers from BVR and those up as the prioritized targets for the AIM54's?

The AWG-9 does not have NCTR so the only way is to STT the targets one by one, get close VID them with the TCS, then launch on the bombers exclusively.

Yep, get close enough and use the TV camera.

I think that IRL, a bomber would appear much bigger than a fighter on radar, especially something like B-52, with no consideration for stealth. However, Jester has no way to exploit that.

Considering that F14 was designed as fleet defence over open sea, where Russians lacked fighters with enough range, I think originally they thought any hostile contact would be probably a bomber..
