andysim Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 How do I tell if another aircraft is friend or foe at BVR ? Im trying to play on the 104th server but am worried I dont want to TK. Help.
EtherealN Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Depends on your aircraft, really. For the Eagle you'll find friendlies as dots and hostiles as bars on your radar scope, and if you lock a friendly the target indicator on your HUD will have a cross over it to alert you to the fact that you should not fire. More details in your manual in the radar section.

Jeevz Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 The Sues and the Mig29 have double bars in the HUD radar display for friendlies and on the cockpit radar display enemies are triangles and friendlies are circles, I'm not 100% sure if there are "unknowns" or not in FC2.
ScEBlack1 Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Lock a target in the Russian birds and if there is a F on the left side of the hud it is friendly.
S77th-konkussion Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 You must further be careful in the russian fighters, because if the radar loses lock- it willautomatically default to the Thermal EOS system in an attempt to reacquire the target's heat signature. Heat cannot be distinguished as friend or foe. If you detect an aircraft from it's heat sig- and you are not absolutely certain it was the aircraft you lost radar contact on, etc- you might want to lock it thermal, then switch back to radar and perform your IFF query [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=43337&d=1287169113[/sIGPIC]
