Wild Weasel Thread - Vector Thrust

Basically, we're taking Wild Weasel gameplay and taking it completely into the air.
___

All players have a special function that turns on their radars.

All players are armed only with a fictional, advanced, air to air, anti radiation missile with very long range. It will lock onto targets that are emitting radio waves (i.e. radar on) but also to aircraft designated inside the SAAM circle while the radar is on. It will use a lead intercept flight path. The missile will lose track if either the target is no longer designated, or the target is no longer emitting.

Players can only detect other players one of two ways:

1. By using their radars. The radar's detection cone is only as large as the SAAM circle, much like an extremely limiting version of the Blindspots mutator.
2. Detecting players using radar. Any player using their radar is spotted automatically by all other players, regardless orientation of the other players.

Tracking view is disabled.

The radar function has a heat guage for activation. When it reaches max (overheats), your radar will be disabled. Your radar does not restart automatically when the heat gauge goes back to zero. The overheat state only lasts a couple seconds. Unlike the M61 which you can fire as long as it is not overheated, the heat gauge prevents you from restarting your radar until after your gauge has gone back down to zero.

Each player can only fire one missile at a time.
