Can Hornet Radar Guide 2 Sparrows?

Recommended Posts

Can the Hornet radar modeled in DCS guide 2 sparrows in TWS mode to separate targets? In TWS with L&S target designated, designating a second target invokes a small circle inside the second target radar symbol. What does that circle symbol signify?

Sparrow needs PDI illumination, which only works in STT, launching a sparrow in TWS switches to STT on L&S

Not a small circle, it's a small diamond. That signifies the "DT2" track file. With a DT2 designated, hitting the NWS/Undesignate button on the stick will swap the DT2 target to L&S. You can use this to rapidly engage two specific targets with AMRAAMs. 

Sparrow cannot be guided to two separate targets simultaneously, that is not possible with a mechanical radar.
