Selecting multiple targets in TWS mode?

[DR. Thompson]

How exactly do you select multiple targets while in TWS mode for F-15?

[Pilotasso]

Select TWS mode and then click 2 or more targets with the radar cursor. Be advised, each time you press fire button each missile will be launched at the targets in the same order as you designated them.

 

Also keep all targets within the radars cone by adjusting the antenna steering. The real aircraft does this automatically but since this functionality is missing in this SIm yuoll have to do it by hand. If a targets exits the altitude or azimuth limits you will lose track of that target and it might retaliate on you unseen if he gets too close.

 

I dont advise muilti engagements closer then 15 miles because under this range its difficult to manually ajust antenna steering fast enough.

Go into TWS mode (RALT+I) and then just bug (press enter to lock) the targets. I believe one can lock a maximum of only two targets in the game but not too sure exactly as to how many you can lock up because I generally fly Russian birds most of the time as they are more fun to fly :joystick: :)

The limit is actually 4 in the SIM, 8 IRL. But due to the lack of auto steering this is difficult/impractical in most situations.

Thanks for enlightening me.... but IRL how many targets can be engaged at the same time?

[Pilotasso]

8 is the targeting system capability and the planes carry 8 missiles. However doctrine and strategy may have something to say against spending all missiles at once but the option is there. I doubt it would be used in actual combat.

Thanks guys :)

Keeping 8 targets within your radar scan zone would be a headache I bet, of course all depending on distance and how close they are together.
