    You can control antenna elevation in TWS, but you have to be in TWS MAN. When you fox a Phoenix it clicks itself into TWS AUTO because the AWG-9 doesn't trust you to support the missile yourself. After splashes or misses, you can go back to manual and steer your antenna again to search. Or ask the pilot how many explosions he saw, if he wasn't too busy reading Facebook while the RIO does all the work. XD

    When using AIM9's you really need to use SEAM lock, it locks the seaker head to the radar target and gives you constant tone.

    Can you IFF in TWS while in RIO seat? I would think/hope the firing priority doesn't include friendlies. If that is true, wouldn't you have to STT lock and IFF interrogate if you're approaching a furball?

    • @Combatant5
      @Combatant5  5 лет назад +1

      Jester automatically uses the TWS Auto radar mode, which will acquire them automatically. He'll then classify the contacts as Hostile, Ambiguous, Friendly, or Unknown to refine the launch order that the WCS will use when you fire the missiles.

    • @het61yt
      @het61yt 5 лет назад +3

      As the pilot turn your tid (bottom screen) from nav mode to tid (mirror) this means your tid will now mirror jesters tid showing you what he is doing with the AWG 9 radar. As unknown contacts show up on the radar with a number to the left of them showing their altitude in 1×10000 feet. (with a half square above them) jester will (slowly) IFF them changing the symbol to a half circle (friendly) or a half diamond (bandit). As the pilot if you now select your phoenix missles a number will appear to the right or the target indicating it's priority in which the targeting computer ( RIO can change priority order) has determined which target to fire at first, then second and so on. When the target flashes it is good launch zone parameters for your missle. Once you fire your missle the number to the left (edit i mean right) changes and indicates the time it will take before your missile will hit the target.

    • @Confidenta79

    Maybe I haven´t understood targeting procedure in this video. English is not my native language.
    Is it possible to launch two phoenix shortly one after another hitting two different targets? So as soon as the first phoenix is launched, the radar will automatically lock on to the next target.
    If this is possible, what commands do I have to give to Jester? Maybe something with TWS?

    • @Combatant5
      @Combatant5  5 лет назад

      It is, correct. Jester will automatically use TWS Auto, which will detect and track targets. He'll also identify them as friend, foe, or unknown to help the launch order. After that, get yourself into a firing position and fire repeatedly until you're out of targets or missiles.

    • @talocan1986
      @talocan1986 5 лет назад

      hmmm…I´ve done like in the video. I launched two phoenix shortly one after another and both were flying towards the same target. Sure that Jester automatically uses TWS? But once a target is down Jester locks onto the next one, that´s right.

    • @Combatant5
      @Combatant5  5 лет назад

      @@talocan1986 no. You'll have to command another STT through the Jester menu or use one of the Pilot Lock On modes.
      That said, it is possible for two Phoenixes to lock onto the same target after receiving their command to go active. The missile will lock on to the first thing it sees, which could cause that.

      That's the allowable steering error circle. In STT you actually get the "inverted T" symbol that shows you the actual direction you are supposed to fly to optimize weapon flight path. Keep that inside the circle and your attitude is fine for weapons employment.

    • @Combatant5
      @Combatant5  5 лет назад

      Nope! The AIM-54 is not. The missile is guided SARH until the AN/AWG-9 signals the missile to go active.
      The AIM-120 on the other hand theoretically is, assuming the target is non-maneuvering and flies a perfectly straight line, even altitude, and the same speed. The missile actually receives tracking information (course, speed, altitude) from the launching aircraft and will calculate it's own intercept solution. Thus, it will navigate without your input, but it will only hit if the target does literally nothing.
