Nice job! I needed a simplified air-to-air F/A-18C tutorial. It is really the only weapon's system that I struggle with. I'll be trying these tips out this week.

[@MeanStreakGaming]

Awesome, glad I helped

[@thechillcompanion6956]

Nice

[@MeanStreakGaming]

Thanks bro

So is rws not the same in the hornet as the viper? Because it doesn’t give a lock on warning regardless of mode. And you can track two targets with rws with a bigger hit rate and faster lock on speed.

[@MeanStreakGaming]

Yeah hornet is only one target. But they always get a lock on and launch warning in rws.

[@RW-zn8vy]

@@MeanStreakGaming really? Thanks for the vid and letting me know. Kinda crazy how different the two aircraft are.

[@MeanStreakGaming]

All aircraft are different. They all have their pros and cons.

[@mobius7089]

@@MeanStreakGamingThat’s not true, an L+S is the same in RWS and TWS, and STT from either is the same. Also for an AMRAAM there is no such thing as launch warning unless active off the rail.

[@MeanStreakGaming]

That's true, an amraam only triggers the red warning when it goes pitbull. Unlike some other fox3s which are active off the rail. Like r77s and r37s (at least in DCS)

[@mobius7089]

5:15 is wrong, there is no “warning” you’re in an L+S, and you can fire on 8 different trackfiles. Undsignate to step, fox 3, repeat

[@MeanStreakGaming]

Gotcha, thanks for the correction

[@polski_graczzyt7336]

[@polski_graczzyt7336]

[@MeanStreakGaming]

Damn, have you asked on the ED discord? They should be able to help you solve the problem. But sure, join our discord and I'll send you over a bunch of missions if you need.

[@polski_graczzyt7336]

Debating on getting the FA18, I have pretty much fully learnt the F16 in A2G and A2A, however, the FA18 looks a lot harder to learn, is this the case

[@MeanStreakGaming]

I wouldn't say it's harder, but I wouldn't say it's easier either. Every plane has its hurdles and its easy sides. I'll tell you one thing though, the Hornet is a lot more forgiving in flight and especially landing.

[@joelangley7974]

@@MeanStreakGaming oh that’s interesting to know, i got the super carrier DLC a while ago so will probably end up getting it

[@MeanStreakGaming]

It's a good plane, it was my first FF plane. Speaking of the Supercarrier, I know the Stennis was broken after the 2.9 update.

[@joelangley7974]

@@MeanStreakGaming ah right, good to know. I won’t try and use that

[@MeanStreakGaming]

I guess the fixed it, cos I just used it yesterday

[@commanderstud2417]

How do you “unlock” a target?

[@MeanStreakGaming]

You have a NWD/undesignate option that you need to map
