[2.7.6.13436 OB] [2021-10-4] TCS Silent Track

[DSplayer]

Bug: TCS can guide a Phoenix and not give RWR warnings

 

Can I reproduce it 100%: Yes

 

If not 100%, how often out of 10: 10/10

 

How to reproduce/description:

 

Method 1:

 

Step 1: PD-STT target and make sure TCS tracks target.

 

Step 2: Pull trigger and break lock before the missile goes off the rail.

 

Step 3: Make the radar slave to the TCS.

 

Result: The target may receive a brief RWR launch warning but this will soon disappear and the missile will now guide silently towards the target that is shown on the TCS.

 

 

Method 1.5:

 

Step 1: PD-STT target.

 

Step 2: Pull trigger.

 

Step 3: Get TCS acquisition on target.

 

Step 3: If target track is lost, slave the radar to the TCS.

 

Result: The target will get a RWR warning for the portion of time that the Phoenix was guided via PD-STT but when tracking is switched to the TCS, they may not continue to receive a RWR warning.

 

 

Method 2:

 

Step 1: Bug target in TWS

 

Step 2: Launch missile like typical TWS launch.

 

Step 3: Make TCS slew to the target that you fired at (has to be the same target)

 

Step 4: If you lose track on target, you can slave the radar to the TCS and continue to track the target as if it were PD-STT with the TCS.

 

Step 4.5: If you didn't lose track, you can just slave the radar to the TCS before the active signal is sent and guide it like in Step 4.

 

Result: The target will not receive any RWR warnings at all of a Phoenix heading their way and will die knowing that they were only getting F-14 nails.

Wasn't this supposed to be fixed in the last update? Unless it got left out as well.

A method of doing it got fixed. I just found another way to do it.
