Wishlist: F-14 RIO calls "Going Pitbull"

[scommander2]

Hi,

I am wondering that can RIO call a "Going Pitbull" while AIM-54 reaches the target within 16 seconds or 6 seconds (in DCS)? 

So, the pilot does not have track it and go cold after "Going Pitbull".

Thanks.

If you turn on your TID Repeater, when the Phoenix goes pitbull, the target begins to flash, indicating the missile is on its own internal guidance at that point.

Yes, it just makes RIO more human to provide the hint... 

PS:  Thanks for mention it, updated the subject line with the keyword "Wishlist"...

What more important thing a pilot during BVR interception would have than watching TID?

I think he's talking about the pilot staying at hot aspect to allow radar to track

The pilot would still use TID for that.

Still, a real RIO would probably call that out, since this is is closely related to his most important job anyways (maintain situational awareness beyond visual range). Also communication is prime.

I think OP doesn't ask for that because it is needed, but because it would be immersive.

I totally agree @Despayre's comment and the TID repeater is a good resource for a pilot.

Just in case the pilot is busy with the SAM launch, a red opponent shows at six suddenly... etc...  RIO can help up a bit.

But, it is okay and it is just a wishlist.
