Re: Clipboard not working

I have the same problem and found a solution.
Try closing Excel and any other spreadsheet/notepad programs that you have open, then make sure your clipboard is clear using Win+V, then click "Copy to Clipboard". Finally open the spreadsheet program and paste it in. It worked for me that way.

Re: Tomcat Phoenixes Behavior with passive EMCON

Update

I've removed the enemy Jammer and the behavior remains the same. This convinces me further that it's a bug, not a feature.

Attached is the save file without Jammer.

Re: Thank God, my aircraft are flying OVER the SAM Belt!!!!

I've noticed that auto-evasion only engages when the incoming missile gets within a certain distance, even when the incoming missile is already detected mile away. Is there a setting to get the pilot to "Engage Defensive" as soon as a missile is detected heading towards him?

Tomcat Phoenixes Behavior with passive EMCON

I had made a thread in the General Forum about this issue since I wasn't sure if it was a bug or just me missing a button somewhere. Here is the link to that thread, and I'll write about the issue here as well.

Re: Tomcats don't guide Phoenixes


Not sure I agree. Mainly because I don't know how the missile behaves in real-life. Do you have any sources that state that the missile doesn't go autonomous if pulses are missed? I've seen nothing mentioned about it either way.


I'm fairly sure it's a bug, because the rate of in-game Phoenixes ...

Re: Tomcats don't guide Phoenixes


In the pulsed mode, the missile heads to a designated spot where the initial radar lock says the enemy unit will be. Every few seconds, the F-14's radar pulses on, verifies lock, and the Phoenix updates its guidance. At a predetermined point, the AIM-54 goes active.

In short, I think the devs are ...

Re: Tomcats don't guide Phoenixes


I think for active guidance missiles, if the firing unit is under tight EMCOM, the firing unit will only turn on its radar for bare minimum guidance. If you want the radar on continuously, the firing unit's EMCOM has to be set for active radar,


Right, but for the AMRAAMs and missiles like it, I ...

As you can see, this is a Tomcat on patrol against in coming aircraft. It launched 2 missiles against 2 targets, the 1st missile goes active right away, while the 2nd missile is under Tomcat's radar guidance (the radar flashes once every 5 seconds). What gives? I'd ...

Tomcats don't guide Phoenixes

In the scenario "Flight Tutorial 8", when I order my Tomcats to manually attack the enemy Jammer and AWACS, they launch the Phoenixes then turn away.

If I leave them alone in patrol against incoming aircraft, sometimes, they'd crank and turn their radar on every 5 seconds, so the Phoenixes would go ...

OP provided some history and IRL information about weapons and ships that I didn't know before, that's why I thanked him. As to how ASW is handled in AE, I had a look, and it seems pretty good to me, just maybe not to the level of detail that OP wants.
