FusRoPotato Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 Couple things I have been noticing regularly: Radar can lock and track aircraft while on the ground after landing, continues to do so even after turning the radar off. AIM120 handoff issues. Saw an extreme example yesterday while on the tail of a Su-34 ~5nm away. 2 missiles dumbfired from TWS, 1 dumbfired from STT, then reacquired in HACQ and that one also dumbfired. I've not seen similar issues with the F-16, so I don't know if this is an AIM-120 modification issue or if the radar on the F-18 is pretending to be on but not actually fully working. This seems to happen most often after a rearm or landing but I'm not sure yet if that's the actual trigger. Not sure if this could be related or not, but I've also been seeing a lot of abnormal failures to track on AIM-54's as well. Both the Tomcat's 54's and 18's 120's have been less useful than Sparrows on an F-4. 120's from the 15 and 16 seem to be fine though... 1

I've being flying the hornet for a while and did not see such bugs
