80s BVR action

[Truls Engebakken-Fjell]

Now the F14 in BVR(beyond visual range) would ideally use its super weapon the AIM-54 Phoenix. But to test the new BVR AI I decided to use the Sparrows. Both the AIM-7 Sparrows and the Alamos used by the MiG29 are semi-active missiles,  meaning I need to keep my plane’s radar locked on the enemy the enemy to lead it to it’s target, that means if you are forced to crank/defend against an enemy missile. And you loose track. Your missile will just fly straight into the nothingness.

In all 4 rounds no missiles hit at BVR ranges. They all got close and personal within 5nm. And in one round the mig got me with cannon.

Two of the rounds got tacview.
