enyak Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Will we get the VS sub-mode (Velocity Search) for the A/A radar, sorting only fast incoming targets by their closing speed? I don't actually know if the Lot 20 has it but I don't see why it wouldn't. Wiki says the APG-65 / 73 is capable for velocity search at least: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/APG-65_radar_family Edited June 15, 2021 by enyak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harker Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Our Hornet should certainly have it, it's a clearly described in official manuals. But from what I can see from comments from ED, we're probably not getting it. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

enyak Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 I don't think it's necessary to include VS in order for the Hornet to leave EA but I certainly don't want to see it omitted entirely as it serves a useful function: Detection at range and threat filtering! Even if it wasn't useful I'd like to see a complete representation of the major radar modes in our sim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harker Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 My thoughts exactly. I'd like to have VS for completeness, but getting RWS, TWS and more importantly MSI to work correctly, is far more important and, IMO, a requirement for Early Access. 4 The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

Swift. Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 'Useful function' might be stretching it a little. But yeah, if ED find they have a few hours spare then go for it I guess. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak525 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Threat filtering is a pretty huge trade off because of the lack of MSI Radar trackfile processing in VS. Best off just looking at the trackfile ranks (also a bit wrong now). Detection range though would be a consideration. It's largely quite useless from what I've heard from real world guys. That said, it's a quite straightforward mode. I don't care if they don't do it till 2025 but I see no reason to say "never". It IS a Radar mode of the APG-65/73 in the F/A-18 in any given OFP. It's sort of like modeling the air conditioning fan in the Hind... Edited June 15, 2021 by Jak525 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
