Should at least have the same as Starstreak which is 10°

but given the evidence of it firing at surface targets from a hover, even this is probably wrong for it.

I think it’s literally a 100% C&P of the Ka-52’s radar

It is very different to the Ka-52’s radar. Detection range is way better, it has 100 target TWS, it has 360° scanning. There is hardly anything they have in common.

Doesn’t it have only 180°?

Was in earlier update you can see them in your IFF screenshot

What are we looking at here? (A wildcat obvs, but I feel like I’m missing something - maybe I should wear my context hat)

They added the frontal MAW sensors they forgot, (though they had already modeled the rear ones)

Just the bottom aperture missing now.

By the way, here’s a fun fact: wildcat will probably cost more (~ +70 sp) than the others fnf helis because the devs haven’t been able to fix a bug for about a year (at least on the live server it still present) where the modifier for the proxy fuse is applied to the helicopter’s total cost rather than to the weapons cost. That’s why the Mi-28MN with Vikhres and LMURs costs more than one equipped with just LMURs. But the Mi-28MN doesn’t usually fly with that combination while martlets + spikes basically the only viable loadout here.

I might have too much time on my hands…
