@Mathll Would you believe they came up with a new argument to avoid exocet?

All ESAs got this radar change but this is a nice change for the Rafale since it really relies on HMD/ACM locks for firing off MICAs.

Those are some oddly specific numbers lmao

They are probably derived from other values + floating point errors I guess ?

Combat Air Search 20, its one the ACM patterns from Blue Vixen, I think it was copied to a few radars;

The 20 is supposed to denote the max range in NM. So 20NM/37KM

Does the Sea Harrier FA2 even get CAS20?

There’s a report for the different ACM patterns of the rafale. Hopefully they’ll get implemented instead of copy pasting other modes as a generic stop gap.

Yes hence the copied from Blue Vixen.

Hello,

I’ve been having an issue for quite some time now where the TV sensor on the Rafale won’t slave to the radar target, whether it’s a hard lock or TWS mode, it just doesn’t seem to follow the radar lock.

When I take it into a test drive and set the radar to TWS mode, it initially works fine, the TV sensor slaves to the target as expected. But if I switch it off and try again, it completely stops working.

Is this just happening to me, or are others experiencing the same problem?

Pretty cool to see.

Idk what is possessing Gaijin but they’ve done a surprising lot of model corrections to jets recently, look at the Su-30SM.
Hopefully they won’t get exorcized anytime soon
