Not so sure I like the slewable RADAR display - it has similarities to the FULCRUM's slewable display which could be most confusing. Also, from the video, why when you're supporting shots in a 2 v 8 would you turn in opposite directions when you would be better off staying a visually supporting pair?

I know we used to split to RADAR supporting pairs in the F3 with JTIDS when we had Skyslug versus bigger rockets like AMRAAM or AA10c. But that tactic would be wasted on a single seat, agile wonder jet with BVRAAM, AMRAAM and ASRAAM and likely to have the advantage - why would you take the risk of losing visual support?
