Lock On Flaming Cliffs 2: Beyond Visual Range TWS Radar Mode
9Lock On: Flaming Cliffs 2 TWS Radar Mode
TWS radar mode is set on the beyond visual range radar mode, and it is used to track multiple targets with your radar. When you fire your weapons, all the missiles will not fire at one time, you can fire them one at a time, and you can track the next target. In a regular single lock, you can lock on the target, and fire you weapon. This can be a visual lock, an automatic lock at close range, or a BVR RWS mode. If you engaging more than one target in the same general direction, a single lock can be a great disadvantage.
