NF.II has a different type of radar - fixed antennas. The J30 has a parabolic antenna.
That’s the visual difference, play wise they are identical.
It should be an mk X, like on the P-61 and Meteor NF. Smin confirmed that it should come to it.
As far as ive understood the swedes installed IFF interrogators as well
It does at least show the PS-20 in the X ray, so hopefully the correct specification will arrive eventually.
Hey. This is a known issue currently with the current iteration being a placeholder. It will be changed to have the performance of the AI Mk X radar.
Or maybe Gaijij should rethink development vehicles and not rely so heavily on Placeholders…!?!
They must know months in advance what’s coming, and considering the J30 is an almagation of mostly existing parts it should also be mostly correct for a public test drive preview. After all we aren’t talking a minor tweak to functionality, but the very reason this version exists in the first place. You can’t claim it’s unique when atm it’s very obviously not.

Do you know if it is receiving IFF? Or is it something that can be bug reported?
Its only the radar on the aircraft thats placeholder. Which is common for most unreleased and new vehicles. This will be fixed as I said.
Its a new variant of the aircraft. You could make this same claim about any new variants of an existing airframe.
It already is a unique version visually and will further be as its radar is finalised.
If there is evidence it should have it, it can be reported for sure yes.

And as I said, the plane is now available for public testing at which stage it’s unique features should be at least in a preliminary state for testing. Right now the only bug report is the inability to make a bug report.
You yourself claimed it was a unique plane, only now you say a new variant. That’s much closer to the originally as people have pointed out repeatedly.
4 blades and a blunt nose, yes that’s technically different. But if those changes aren’t represented in the actual aircrafts performance or ability then it’s little more than a new skin.
As I said there should be no need for Placeholders when a vehicle is already in open public testing. Either start development earlier to avoid the situation, or CBT the model until closer to release because all it does is make early impressive very negative. Starting the BP and attempting to sell unrepresentative vehicles surely can’t be a good business model or great for customer relations.
PS-20 was the Swedish designation for the SCR-720B which had IFF integrated.

And the radar in action (in its British Mk. X form)
Yup, trying to locate some more sources. i dont know if that website would be enough for a report.
Unfortunately most sites and references don’t differentiate between the SCR-720 subvariants which doesn’t help.
I can’t see the IFF function being removed during the refurbishment prior to delivery, however proving it may be impossible, especially if you don’t speak Swedish.
The AEF specifies the IFF (IK) equipment used as PN-53A, which is the SCR-729F. J30 Nattjaktplan Jaktflygplan
The 729 F is an interrogator, based on the 729 A. https://swanwich.uk/iff-and-radar-beacons/
Yes, therefore it would be preferable with more sources for it.
Imperial War Museum has a film on the AI Mk.X. They are usually considered a trustworthy organisation. Pity you can’t watch direct.

Note the description for Reel 2 includes ‘IFF interrogation’.

Thats not the case at all.
It has been said multiple times now that the radar is preliminary whilst its configured.
Its not a new skin, but a new variant.
As mentioned earlier, only the radar is currently placeholder. Anything else suspected of being incorrect should be properly reported.
All but the vehicles are consumed in a matter of time.
The battle pass has gone down hill since the very first one.
We got a heavy tank rank V, and a Corsair Rank IV I believe, and a naval vessel Rank IV.
I’m not saying they all have to be rank V or anything, but more variety would be nice…
It’s the same price Battle pass for less value, and it’s becoming less and less value.
