There isn’t a report I can see for that, so without one no fix.

The earliest i can make one is next monday, as im out of pc now. Anyone here willing to do it?

I’ll get it done.

does it also work on the F-111?

I do not have it, but from what i have seen they do, and countermeasueres can be slaved to it

well propably gonna be a testing thing like the SU 39 ground radar that is yet to be added anywhere else

No surprise there

heh, no, of course we couldn’t add a critical and important part of a defensive system!

it’s not a vehicle added this patch. that said in the air department this patch was pretty sparse. i have a feeling i know why, and i suspect plenty of other people think the same

It should be rear quadrant only and the name is wrong it should be the AN/AAR-34, not the -32. as per PDF page# 3.

I have a feeling that due to the prospective addition of assorted Fox-3s with the next patch that a number of defensive / survivability / utility mechanics are being worked on, so far I’ve seen evidence of (podded) A2G radars (Su-39), fixed wing MAWS(F-111A), ECM pods (icons), etc.

I just hope that integrated DECM systems aren’t forgotten in favor of podded systems, otherwise a number of aircraft are going to struggle.

I was expecting those defensive systems to be added by now so that htey could be polished BEFORE Fox 3 was added. but alas, nothing yet. I really fear though that those mechanics arent going to come to everything. I can genuinely see the Tornados not getting Sky Shadow despite similar systems coming to others.

Won’t be the first or last time it happens, just look at the US F-4E.

Just gloss over the 3x F-16s, 2x F-14s and the F-111 that you have recieved in the past year. Meanwhile Britain has gotten the Tornado Gr1 (still unfinished bomber) and the Tornado F3 (DOA Interceptor) and have yet to get a single competitive top tier jet to match the F-16/F-14/Mig-29/etc

I mean i do have a degree of Sympathy with Germany as since the F-14A got added, they’ve been a dead tree. The 29G is looking pretty meta, although F-16A should give it a run for its money.

Of course, I have no sympathy for any US or Russian mains, particularly the Americans who consistently whinge despite getting new toys every patch.

What is infuriating however, is the lack of options for UK. Yes, we didn’t develop tonnes during this period. No, we didn’t have absolutely nothing. As has been repeatedly been banged on about, the Sea Harrier FA.2 or Typhoon DA (insert relevant number)

Doesn’t even need to be top tier. A late Jag like the Gr3A, TSR2 or just finishing the Tornado Gr1. We could have had as many additions at the US easily. Even the Harrier Gr9A would have been fun and maybe even 12.0, with the right gear
