Lastly, that quote about "slaving the gun to the radar" try and visualize how one could POSSIBLY "slave" a gun that is fixed to the fuselage. Think about it....
Correct. The HMS in the Fulcrum/Flanker slaved the IR seeker. It made it a damn near unbeatable combo at the merge. Prior to the merge? The F/A-18 had a 98% kill ratio, at least against the former East German Mig-29's. I'm sure PRM has a lot more info. What we can share as far as I know is about what I have shared.
