Thanks - that explains it.

@Blu3wolf:

How best should the gunner react to the defender repositioning?

Standard fighter pilot answer: it depends. And it really does. Enough to maintain the offensive. A lot of factors go into it: Vc, HCA, range. A slight lag off to create some LOS might be good enough. If it isn’t, you have co-roll and counter-roll repositions if the defender decides to tuck-under jink. If you really f*cked it up, then you need to quarter plane. However, expect to present reversal cues to the defender and him to try to reverse.

@Viking:

From my understanding it would not be a good idea to consent to release by pressing CMS aft when a missile is incoming due to HOJ. When a hostile threat gets within firing range I usually turn off jammer or flash it. If he fires then I turn it off and keep it off so it doesn’t HOJ. If I consent to release with CMS aft doesn’t it turn the jammer on which could give them a HOJ? For this reason it seems to me like consenting to auto release is never a wise choice. I would be interested to hear more.

This was one of my concerns, but this seems like a good tactic to implement.

Since I had to stop flying for real because of medical issues, I’ve decided to use my logbook to record virtual flight hours…

Like one of the ones above said when I dont use AP i usually trim for my initial climb out to STP2

Yup! Pretty easy to work out, what with the pitch ladder showing that angle to you in 5 degree increments. Im not sure FPA is an acronym used in the book, but it works. Im more used to seeing dive angle or climb angle.

Hi Sarge
Thanks. I think I worked it out. My WH had gone to sleep and my power and airspeed were too low, hence I think the system assumed I was moving in for a landing.
