Hello coach, I have a question about TWS and Fox 3 usage. In the X-ray view, it says that the AV-8B's radar does not have datalink, so does that mean I can't shoot the Amraam "silently" on TWS? I don't have a friend to test it with, so thought you might know.
Sorry for the late response, YT didnt't give me any notifications! So as far as I understand, you can shoot Amraams in the TWS mode without any problems. I guess the only difference is that the missile, if it loses lock with its own radar, can't rely on datalink to find the enemy, but has to search for it with its radar. So the result is that Amraams launched from an AV8B may hit less reliably. However, if your style of play is just "fire and forget" or defend straight away, or just change taget after launching, you should see no difference because you lose TWS lock, and the missile woulndn't have datalink even if the plane has it. I hope I've been clear, it's not the easiest concept to explain😅 Also, take that I said with a pinch of salt because I'm not an expert in the matter!
