DCS F-4E Air-to-Air V: Sync-Z-Turn [Essential]
https://flyandwire.com/2024/08/02/f-4...
After a great deal of theory and scholastic discussions, we finally start to apply those topics into more practical and immediate procedures. The SYNC-Z-TURN is the first intercept technique discussed that does not require a radar lockon. Actually, it requires very little besides radar awareness: everything else, TA/AA, HCA, and so on, are great additions but not requirements.
Cool fact: it works at 30+ nm down to 10/15 nm. Perfect for the Phantom II.
