SA and target ID on Israel campaign?
-
Hi,
I´m trying for the first time a campaign on the Israel theater, against Syria. And i´m having a lot of dificulties to have some average SA on this campaign. Getting good SA hasn´t been always my strong, but in this campaign ti becomes impossible for me.
Not having AWACS, and the TGP not locking on aircraft when i have a radar lock makes extremely dificult to ID the other aircrafts.
How you guys do it? It´s a mess of friendly and enemy aircraft up there in the beginning of the campaign, how do you deploy BVR missiles without risking friendly kills?.
IFF so far hasn´t been much of help either because there are so many merge that you can´t tell wich aircraft you are getting possitive iff answer, -
Hi!
TGP not locking on aircraft when i have a radar lock
What do you mean ? Why can’t you lock your TGP on the prey ?
At what distance are you from the enemy when you want to switch from the radar to the TGP ?(-edit : I assume you fly a F-16, so you even don’t have to switch because you have enough MFDs )
Can I assume you tried with maximum zoom-in ?

Well, i´m using it just like on all F16 on Korea or Balkans theater. I set the left MFD with FCR, right MFD i put the TGP page, and set it to AA mode with the OSB button (cant remember the OSB number, 6 or 20, if i recall right). I locked friendly and foe aircraft, even friendly aircraft coming closer and closer, and i don´t have an image of the plane. Only gray rubbiss, like if the tgp was obstructred.
And yes, i set maximum zoom with both the pinky switch and the range rotary on the throttle. -

Hummm …. maybe I know what could be your issue …
What is the exact variant of the F-16 you are using in ITO ?

Same F-16 ? If the answer is not , there could be a couple of thing to try to know exactly what your problem is . I bet it’s not the same variant …
1st test : you could try another variant F-16 in your ITO , load it with a TGP and see what happens … it would be even better if you could try in the same campaign , and why not, in the same AB …
2nd test : in your Acdata ,check if the TGP is set to ‘‘external’’ / 2 ? if on “1” , it could be the problem…
The results will guide us to the solution
