It does NOT have an IFF interrogator to interrogate contacts! So in short it has the same IFF capabilities as the F-5E, the A-10C, the AV-8B or the UH-1H.

I see so it would not be of any help on the Cold war server especially on enigma server as you most aircraft wont be able to display friendly or foes. I still havent flown the plane in PvP server as i wouldn't be able to tell which aircraft is freindly or foe in BVR and even in ACM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never tried it so I don't know which modules are used on the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Enigma server the MiG-21, F-14 and MiG-29 are the only aircraft equipped with IFF interrogaters. 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Well the F14 is far superior of these aircrafts including the F1, with its Phoenix missiles and AIM 7 or 120, i would destroy every foe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everytime they deside to merge with 2 opponents. It's big and easy to spot. And you just get 1 guy to drag and bag them or tie them up and they die pretty quick. The short range IFF ability is also reduced since it's not instant and frequently you'll have to use the tv camera to confirm. Even if the server allowed the tomcat to take 2 phoenix missile it wouldn't really improve matters for it much in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted that as an option on the server side so people wouldn't "cheat" by using zoom, so to say.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
