Can the avionics on the F/A-18C give it an advantage in air to air engagements?

Okay, two things:

 

1) I'm in favor of reasonably common implementations in the sim.

2) Statements of statement by pilots that offer no real value are well, not valuable.  It's like when they were saying 'The AMRAAM sucks' but would never answer why.  Basically, useless info other than a prompt to continue digging.

Its one of those things that you think to yourself. No one caught THIS in testing?

 

My expectations gets lower and lower by reading these revelations...

 

It wouldn't be bad if all would be in stable and Open Beta would be testing ground for few hundred specialists to check and confirm things...

 

But when open beta is the main branch that is pushed for marketing, it causes negativity to PR.

Oh no, why'd you guys have to remind me about the RWR? No INS integration, wrong threat ring logic (only locking targets are promoted to the lethal band) and the filters aren't implemented...

I mean an ALR-67v(1,2,3) is an ALR-67v(1,2,3) They are gonna "work the same", maybe in some cases integration with displays "might be different". But thats beyond my paygrade. 

 

 

Thats interesting.

He has a point. the ALR 67 ECP 510  ( aka ALR 67 V2) is what he described is that the INS integration.  should basically work with the RWR, change the direction of the threats as you move your aircraft, but right now sometimes you can loose RWR contacts if you happen to turn at an angle where your RWR sensor is out of the fov of a radar threat.

 

A 2005 era hornet would be using ALR 67 V2. The AV8B has this feature. right now the Hornet ALR 67 behaves more like a pre ecp510.
