DCS F-4E - Boresight Mode, AIM-7 & Speedgates [Essential]
https://flyandwire.com/2024/05/27/f-4...
In normal employment scenarios, an STT radar lockon provides the AIM-7 Sparrow with the necessary information about the target to track and hopefully hit it. However, there are situations where obtaining the lock is not immediate or feasible. The F-4E has several tools for such complex cases, from the Stab switch to CAA or manual employment. This video discusses Boresight mode.
