What You'll Learn

Nails = RWR has indications an airborne radar in search mode
Being locked onto by an unfriendly contact in STT (presumably meaning 'search and track') is generally considered a hostile act, and would likely prompt a defensive response. This would be combined with other information that the pilot would already have.
The terms 'nails' and 'spike' are part of Jester's unique vocabulary, and are used to communicate specific radar functions and warnings.

Jester AI is also a necessity because it can help with locking on to targets. While it can be frustrating when it doesn't lock on to "enemy target ahead", it can be useful for locking on to targets once you launch fox3s in TWS auto.
Jester AI is a work in progress. The developers are hard at work making it more effective. The goal is for it to be slightly less competitive than having a skilled human RIO.

Jester AI is useless
Jester AI is supposed to be slightly less competitive than having a skilled human RIO. However, it's hard to see how it could ever be competitive when it can't even perform basic functions. It's like trying to play a game with one hand tied behind your back. You're constantly fighting against it, rather than working with it.
Some people have found workarounds to make Jester AI more useful. For example, one person found that Jester IFFs the targets almost instantly once they launch fox3s in TWS auto. However, this is a bit of a crazy way to do things and it's still not as good as having a human RIO who can actually do stuff and anticipate the situation.
The developers of Jester AI are hard at work making it more effective, but it's unclear how much they can really improve it. It seems like the fundamental problem is that it's an AI, and AIs are just not very good at certain tasks. They're too rigid and inflexible, and they can't adapt to new situations in the way that humans can.
Overall, Jester AI is a disappointment. It was supposed to make our lives easier, but it's just ended up being one more thing to deal with. It's like a child that constantly needs to be babysat. You have to hold its hand and walk it through every step, and even then it still manages to mess things up. It's a classic case of technology letting us down.
