If you are going to implement moving the antennas by keyboard, a manual tracking (AS mode, now non-existent) can be implemented as well (e.g. when the switch AS-ASAP on the right is 'up' ('AS'), then missile can be launched even if the antenna is being steered manually in all aspects. I don't know if scoring a hit under such conditions won't require an octopus at the keyboard, but seems worth trying. smile


No. You need to switch the system to angle tracking in real life too, to be able to launch missiles.
Just think what antenna transmits/receives during angle RS, and what is needed for missile tracking...
