Court martial BARCAP

in a furball is it possible that missile locks a friendly even after locking enemy and pitbull assuming that it might have been destroyed.?
This raises an interesting question, How much bandit/friendly separation do you need to prevent Victor’s problem?

The more the better. I don’t fire into furballs, and I don’t fire “over the head of friendlies” or if they are directly behind an enemy group. It’s hard to guess sometimes though.
It won’t pick up a friendly 20° off your nose, but it might pick up anyone that happens to be where that furball is or was at the time you fired.
Most of these blue on blue situations happen when you lose lock before the missile is active. I have not seen one with an active missile yet, but I’m not sure how they act if the target explodes mid-air (which was pretty common before 4.35).
It’s all a risk calculation. If you can support your missile, the risk is low- if you can’t it is pretty high. If you have a Flanker following your SEAD flight, you might take the risk and support your missile. There is no generic rule of thumb. -
drtbkj, perhaps you could try to develop a clear set of criteria for Clear Avenue of Fire, and share your results?

Victor, in your folder “Falcon BMS 4.35 > User > Briefings”, look for the file “debrief.txt”
Normally, it contains all of your previous debriefings.
Maybe, in this file, you can still find out which plane you killed.
Could be interesting.it was an f18

I always try to help friendlies that are in the furball. But for that I try to fly as closer as possible to the battle to guesstimate where my missile lock is needed.

I tried this too. I guess instead of killing enemy I mercy-killed a friendly

I do the same. There is often not much time though, so I identify as best as possible and let god sort them out.
