+Piecemeal 450 Posted August 29, 2008 I know that there was no RWR warning display in their cockpits, but I've searched through the web and I haven't been able to get any conclusive answers as to whether the real life F-4B/C/D models had any kind of audio warning systems when being tracked or locked on by enemy radars. Does anybody know whether they had anything like that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,633 Posted August 29, 2008 I would most likely suspect so, given audio-only systems have been in use since WW2 (Mustang and Jug come to mind right off, plus the 'Boozer' lights on Mossies) Super easy to do -I should know, I 'invented' it!! --- ok that tutorial dosen't seem to be in the KB...I'll get a version up there ASAP (ie: as soon as I find where I put the notes....)

MigBuster 2,875 Posted August 29, 2008 The B/D were used up till the end of the war and must have been upgraded at some point - have a RIO account of firing out chaff in an F-4B on account of the warnings he was getting(1972) The F-4C seems to have been replaced by the D/E by about 1969 so not sure on that - but a pilot says when trying an ALQ-71 for the first time in Jan 67 he was worried about the cloud over Hanoi not giving them much of a warning if SAMs lifted off - doesnt partcularly mean they didnt have any audio warning tone though.

+Piecemeal 450 Posted August 29, 2008 Thanks for the help guys! I'll be getting to work on the F-4B/C/D DATA.ini files asap. The reason I've asked is at this stage I'm a little sick of cruising through enemy airspace at 26,000ft and WHAAAMMM!!! I've either been hit by a SAM or AAM without ever even knowing I was being 'painted' by enemy radar. A little audio forewarning would be nice.......even in the sixties Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
