And having the fov shrink makes sure that the seeker shutoff doesn’t engage too early or too often to give the seeker shutoff more time to “reset” so it doesn’t have to be stuck in IOG mode for too long right?

yes, it will “reset” much more frequently
P sure what he meant was just having 1.25° won’t really be that good, but having reduced fov to augment seeker shutoff is comically powerful
1.25° will be very good, even too good, it will provide almost an absolute kill in PL-8B’s range.
so 1.5 to 2° for balance is acceptable
And this is why we dont have such missiles on jets in the game… yet
I’ve heard a claim that when both IRCCM methods are present simultaneously, only the seeker shutoff actually takes effect, though I haven’t verified it.
clearly not real. if so, manpads and ty-90 won’t be so hard to flare
commonly 1.25° fov with shutdown provides almost 4km unflareable range.

Seems to also be the case that AMRAAM and R-77 they do not lock onto wrong targets. For example when planes fly close to each other they still maintain their lock whilst PL12 might switch the lock to another target, commonly a friendly. Seems a bit to me that the ‘previous update’ on seeker didn’t get applied or was retreated from PL12.
still can’t find anything in DM, every arh seeker shares almost same values.
could be something about radar, everything concerning radar has problems in this update
Thing is, my radar maintained locks a lot of the time when the missile got absolutely lost. Other way round for R-77 cause obviously it is J11A, but IDK how this works. MICAs work the best for me at BVR RN ironically. J10s are quite bad at this, too slow and PL12s are not great. Waiting for J11B.
could be some radar problem. non-esa radar has big problem in this update. maybe the radar misguides the missile
Ive played the j11b and everything seems to be fine pl12 are tracking fine and honestly having a better radar in j11 is amazing
that’s literally placebo, the J11B has just as bad of a radar as the J11A minus more DL channels
It better tho. Not much, but at least it follows selected target in TWS
Nah the radar is way better compared to the su 27
Tws actually works properly and you can track tragets properly at long distances
It’s better but the radar modes are unfinished, the ACM mode range should be 20km and the tracking/lock range is too low, should be more than 60km.
In terms of actually reliably picking up targets it’s notably better than the N001, 1493 is actually using copy-paste AN/APG-70 code from what I’ve seen.

copy-paste AN/APG-70 search mode, but much better MPRF transmitter, close to CAPTOR-M, though good MPRF will cause much more chance of locking enemy missiles
Honestly, this issue has been frustrating the hell out of me since the Captor-M radar was added. Gaijin tried to “fix” it, but their slapped-together TWS+ mode only made the radar mechanics even more infuriating.
Im really not sure wtf is going on with radar development atm, radars for most nations have seemingly been in the worst state theyve been in WT history, and in extreme occaisions, “modern” radars are being added in states where theyre objectively worse than preceeding models
I don’t get it then, how is it possible to copy APG-70 for ONE mode and then not even bother to copy something as basic as ACM mode, not to mention it having substantially worse gimbal range than the 1473 for some reason, I flick through all the radar modes and none of them have the supposed 30 degree elevation range
