Possible to switch to Fox 2 while guiding a Fox 1 ?

[cmbaviator]

Hello 

 

I'm wondering if it's possible after firing a FOx1 to switch to C + M ie selecting the FOX 2 while still guiding the FOX 1 in case the Fox 1 gets trashed just like the 2000 ?

The M2K switches into a different radar-mode (is it boresight?) when selecting the Magic*. In the F1, you'll just pick up your tip-missiles and the radar should continue doing whatever it did before.

Don't be a dumass like me, though, and fly into the hot-zone with tips in override-ready and then wonder why you're shooting with heaters onto those ground-targets...

*It doesn't. As long as you don't change over to boresight, horizontal or vertical scan, you should be fine switching to Magics in the M2k.

I master more the Air to Air in the 2000 rather than the F1 ( only since last WE) and in the 2000, after guiding a fox 1, you can either swith to canon or FOx 2 without breaking the STT lock and slaved the IR sensor of the Matra II so incase your FOX 1 gets trashed, you can finish with a fox 2 immediately.

 

However, i don't know about the F1.

 

If you don't have an STT lock, by selecting the FOX 2 in the 2000, you can select either Boresight or Vertical scan in the ACM radar mode and Boresight or SVI ( HUD mode) if you select Fox 1. but if you have already an STT lock, selecting fox 1, canon or fox 2 won't break the stt lock.

A good thing with 2000 is that even if you have FOX 1 selected, the IR sensor of the Matra II are enable so it can detect passively heat beyond the 10Nm max range of the ACM mode, therefore increasing your SA.

You can hit the C + SW switch while guiding an R.530 with no worries. Your radar will keep lock and continue guiding the missile
