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
Gaijin copied the N019 radar’s core framework (so we have the 60km range limit and ACM mode), but crammed in the scan angles of the APG-70 and the MPRF detection range of the Captor-M, resulting in the current Type-1493.

They’re creative if nothing else then.

Kinda impressed by seeing so many things crammed into one.

Any news on the pl-8b motor?
It’s fake in the first place. Just some dude going “what if”. They tried getting some sources but everything was too sketchy, too vague or too closely related to each other.

What about the pl-5b model.
No updates, sorry
Was It right when they added It ?
IIRC they have the wrong seeker model, but it’s barely noticeable.
The 5b ?
Yes, the coloring of the seekerhead is incorrect.
Have they fixed PL8 yet? Haven’t bothered with checking.
Anyone have anything on PL-12 seeker? Except from the 9B1348 for early batch but what are the later full domestic seekers’ stats?
I think you’re confusing it with the pl-8
