Yes Lock on is a bit arcadish in terms of avionics. But if you
just want to fly hardcore sims only you'll end up playing the same
title for more than 10 years.
I've come to accept that while Lock on is not very realistic is
fun to play, beautiful and immersive enough.
The same goes for Wings over Vietnam which really in terms of
avionics is worse than Lock-On with many simplified functionality
but it is FUN, beautiful and immersive.
You know even Falcon doesn't have a a realistic flight
modelling. I'm just saying that each titles do better in some part
of games in terms of realism and worse at the other. For example in
Wings over Vietnam on Hard flight model the aircraft would tend to
lose its balance in flight if you have one ordnance less on one
side of the wing pylon(after firing 1 missile or dropping 1
bomb).
Just my 2 cents
