Aamram will acquire a target on it’s own without radar lock. It’s great fun. Set up some groups of bad-guys. WW2 planes work well for this. Turn on unlimited ammo, switch to aamram, point and shoot. Repeatedly. I had about 90 planes stagger in on one mission. They were bombing a boat. I was trying to stop them before they sunk it. With all the smoke trails, parts flying, etc. made for a great mission.
Of course maddog is dangerous as hell and should never be used :)
