Its not, but we have this
In the most vertical point it reaches around 72-74, depending how you count it.

I hate the fact that in order to use this, I have to find a source clearly explaining that both beams are active at the same time.
The reason for that is, because Soviet vehicles, like OSA that has 3 beams, use them one after the other. Western vehicle suffering it rn is ITO, that uses Crotale scan pattern, that is also dual beam, but Gaijin misunderstood it as 3 separate beams, and made it into 3 separate beams in elevation, tripling scan time.
Crotale i mentioned

I asked him now if they are active at the same time, maybe he could give me a source too

He said, and I quote: “No not at the same time. The 2 beams make it a 2D+ radar. Its quite neat really. The use the 2 beams to give a rough height indication.”

It shouldnt have m919 belts as the pressure from apds belts puts huge strain on the even higher firerate bushmaster , At best in the best case scenario it would be like the gepard with a limited amount of apds

So is the M242 the wrong gun on the ADATS?
no , its a modified version of the bradley’s bushmaster made to fire a higher firerate , yet just like the gepard they realised firing apds is
1: stupid , why ap rounds against aircraft when when he or incendiary rounds do more damage
2: the primary targets is the aircraft THEN the ground targets so including 1:1 ratio of he and ap should suffice
3: apds causes unnecessary pressure to the gun while firing at a increased firerate which can cause higher maintenance
So in general you shouldnt expect apds on it but if it did it would be nice to get like 40-50 as it would basically be a last resort
Also your main weapon other than this faster bushmaster should be the missles with lots of pen , why do you even need apds
So it sounds like you have a source to submit a bug report about this.

So both beams were in a scenario of TWS. Good to know
Damn… TWS for adats would be a game changer
No SPAA search radar has TWS, but it’s reported
Right, I forgot about one crucial detail. These things lack any cover or proof of from where they come, so I can’t use them for now.
I dont , its just using prerequisite knowledge of assuming if there was such a use case , as technecially it can fire m919 , justs that we would never know if it got given any in its testing or prototype stages or even on paper
We won’t be able to access to any of those unless someone actively wants to declassify them. I still have hope the Dr. will be able to make more available
ADATS radar coverage incorrect

I think the only better thing than TWS would be this
I still dont know how they will bite the radar, but as can be seen on the diagram
At the most extreme point that radar reaches -10 to 72. I expect them to do make it smaller tho

Ik but adding like 10 or even 5 degrees to current value would be veeery helpful
Oh no. The LEAST they should give it is 55, as that is primary area of interest, so it goes at least from 0-18 to 0-55. They should give it -10-72 in order to be consistent, but who knows.

That would be actually huge buff. I wonder if they would bump br back to 12.0 cuz of this
