Radar Lock at short range but not ablte to fire the R27R

[Revor]

Hi,

when I have a radar lock at closer range e.g. with the helmet sight and the enemy is still more than 3nm or 4nm away from me, I can only use the IR missiles of the Mig and not the R27R. It will not launch though I have a valid radar lock and the enemy is still beyond 3 or 4nm away. Is that normal for that missile or is it a bug ? It is every time when you achive a lock in one of the short range radar modes but the enemy is still more than 3nm away that you can't fire the semi active radar missiles. Do they have such a long minimum range ? I doubt that....

Thanks in advance

It is becuase your HMS lock is only for IRST

 

Pnce we get coop, then we can use radar with HMS

ok, so the RAD Сlose Сombat mode is also only for IRST at the moment ? I hope they integrate the coop mode for radar and IR soon.....

No, you said you locked with HMS. 
 

If SUV knob is in radar position then it’s using radar, scan or vertical scan.

It also does not work with the rad close combat mode at least for me even when the target is more than 3 or 4nm away, I am not able to shoot the semi active radar missiles in that lock mode, only IR missiles

Sorry it was my fault. I used the close combat mode in the upper selection under the left glareshield but that is only the close combat IR mode. When I use the radar close combat mode on the radar panel, I can launch the semi active missiles with a close range lock. So maybe that helps some other people. It is solved for me now
