AIM 120 pitbull

[RiO]

Hey guys,

 

In Falcon 4 BMS the pilot says "pitbull.." when the AIM120 becomes radar active, but how do I know here in FC3 since theres no indication?

 

The HUD simbology is not as clear and direct as in Falcon 4, does anyone has any tutorials about it?

 

 

 

Thanks

You mean the "M 3 17" info on the HUD ?

[EtherealN]

Exactly.

 

M - Missile

3 - seconds to pitbull

17 - seconds to impact

[EtherealN]

 

Ran the same situation again, new screen after pitbull, so:

 

M - a missile is in flight

0 - time to pitbull is zero; that is, it is active

6 - time to impact is 6 seconds

Ok, thank you!

 

Another one....As in Falcon 4, once the AIM120 is pitbull it's safe to unlock the target and extend from the enemy?

Yes.

 

(And as a side note: the shots I made to get those screens were STT shots, but generally I prefer TWS even if I am only deploying one weapon. Symbology is otherwise the same - but if you have multiple weapons underway you only get indication on one.)
