Questions about F-15C and A-10C in MP

[TigersharkBAS]

Hi gents,

Been playing with a couple of buds online and have noticed a few things. Just want to run it past you guys.

 

The A-10C doesn't pick up the F-15C on the TAD as a friendly. Yet AI planes show up on the A-10C TAD as icons. F-16s, F-18s, etc.

 

Also does the A-10C RWR indicate when an F-15C is spiking it in MP.

 

Anyone noticed any of these things?

F-15C does not have the equipment on board to show up on the TAD (JTRS is what it's labelled at in the ME, but I'm not sure if it's JTRS, I thought it was mislabled but please correct me if I'm wrong..). Yes the '15 will show up on the RWR when it's radar is on. That's what the RWR is for ;)

Thanks MTF. Yeah...my buddy and i just confirmed he gets spiked by my F-15C.

 

Odd though the F-15 were never retrofitted with JTRS. Or is this just relevant for ground attack aircraft?

Yes, the SADL is a datalink terminal that was specifically fitted for CAS duty and can communicate with ground data-link.

 

At some point, all F-15C's are fitted with the Link-16 terminal, which does not speak SADL. You can 'unite' them using the gateway, but this gateway is not modeled in game at this time.

Ah SADL! That's the one! :D Forgot what it was called ;)

Thanks MTF and Tharos for the clarification. Good to know.
