Ah94 FCR Target data retention

[rich cape]

So on the actual ah64d longbow fcr the contacts are held in a memory bank allowing you to scan once or twice collect 8 or so targets and their location data and letting you quickly ripple off ag114l radar guided hellfires, this could vary easily be adapted to the 94s fcr for a similar purpose with 145s and you could carry over the longbows target icons that communicate things like if you've launched on the target and the possibility of the target being dead via greying out the icon.this in tandom (not duel request) with a tws mode at vary least for these targets would make getting those random targets for half a second from being in just the perfect position to pick them up much easier along with quickly clearing larg amounts of threats like sams quicker (ignore the circle in the image)

The contacts dim to represent the longbows confidence in the targets and or if you've fired on them

Tho this could be changed to follow the current logic of things like the tsd with a confidence bar that degrades over time

the AGM-145 have a smart seeker than can recognise targets if i'm not mistaken, so they shouldn't need a full confidence track anyways.

[rich cape]

Yea not to mention most targets are stationary and the things that aren't your not really attacking with the fcr

[hoary talon]

couldnt this literally be done by just giving TSD attributes to the 94s radar?

[rich cape]

Effectively

I did kinda phrase it weirdly lol

[hoary talon]

also, side addition to this, if somethings locked on radar and the TADS isnt SOI, treat the weapon as radar tracking, including guns, hydras, missiles, or anything thats not strictly laser guided

[rich cape]

Yes that would be nice not needing to tgp slave it

[rich cape]

Essentially to boil it down and phrase it a little cleaner, add the ability for targets to be retained for (and this is just an arbitrary number) a minute 30 and allow us to lock multiple of these retained targets in a tws style mode (with automatic target switching like tws is supposed to have) allowing for quick ripples of lobos 145s on fcr targets and allowing for greater utilization of the fcr

IRL, 4x apaches can sync shots with this data as well with a single gunner as the fire control coordinator. Allows for a properly armed flight of 4x apaches to destroy 64 targets with the impact times synced up

would be cool to at least be able to send target retention data to other aircraft from the radar without having to save GPS for each target

[rich cape]

Yea i agree but I have a feeling that's a little too complicated

[fast fog]

datalink tracks on radar page

[rich cape]

Oo yea true

[fast fog]

doesn't allow you to launch your wingman's missiles for him

but he can launch on your tracks

spotter-shooter dynamics

[rich cape]

Yea

[hoary talon]

i fuck with that

would it be op? Possibly
But its also not a PVP thing, so i see no real issue

actually ngl i wish the 26 could do that too but thats just me

[fast fog]

there is no PvP balance

[rich cape]

Pvp balance takes a backseat

That’s not exactly true, things have gotten nerfed and changed in the past, it’s just not a forefront
