With last dev update, J-10C’s fixed AESA was brough up to ±85deg.(Which is unrealistic, but what we can do?)
So, id suggest adding that to more planes, such as F/A-18E, F-15C Golden Eagle, F-2A, Rafale C F3, Rafale M F3-R, Kfir C.10.
what
check screenshots)
@Yamahagi surely this 85 degrees should be the positive radar elevation only, and not negative as well? I know radar was tilted but surely that means it loses negative elvation
Do any of these have greater FoRs for their radars?
not a case.
it got ±85 gimbal in horisont
IRL - no. but J-10C doesnt either
Hmmm… I dont think the solution to 1 aircraft having a potentially ahistorical feature is to make all aircraft have a ahistorical feature
honestly the best way to find out is to get the KLJ-10A brochure or specs
According to what I’ve seen in the J-10 thread, some prototypes of the Radar had extra emitters placed in the sides, widening FoV, you’ll have to wait for someone who can read mandarin and chinese docs to explain
you wouldnt find that probably
but how can you say thats unrealistic then?
sounds a bit sketchy.
but that’s not a case in game anyway
ngl im not too informed about AESA physics but whats stopping an AESA from scaning 85 degrees left or right?
i understand 90 is impossible because each module that isnt on the right outer most layer would have to scan through the rest but what about 85?
because so far it is 70deg due to technology limitations. and even then - on these 70 degrees you will have less range than on 0.
yeah range dropoff isnt modelled for any AESA radar in game however
but unrealistic gimbals are here for J-10.
But I think they’ve denied that for other nations too, but 75-80, I could maybe beleive on those grounds but 85 seems like too much to me (though like you, not well versed in AESA)
maybe gaijin found some source which might suggest J-10C can or does use a ECRS style gimballed AESA radar?
