GPS deviance should be modeled on GPS bombs. // Gaijin.net // Issues

Oh yeah let’s get gps deviation modeled, for extra realism, instead of getting fundamental problems with vehicles and weapons fixed.

Sophism. This is not because they can work on one topic, that they can’t on the other and vice versa.

The decision to only give Scorpion equipped aircrafts datalink capability and then deny its existence altogether gotta be on the top 10 list of most BS decisions by Gaijin.

They could at least say that “we are working on adding it to other aircrafts”.

Or perhaps the person responsible for modelling the HMDs, truly doesn’t understand how the Scorpion can show friendly contacts, including friendly ground vehicles … (Their response in the bug report suggests such).

I looked at @DirectSupport’s report briefly, and seems like he’s asking for radar display to show IFF responses even if the enemy isn’t scanned or detected by the radar.

And to the best of my knowledge not only is this realistic, but not even such advanced technology.

I remember from naval Phantom manuals that even their primitive radar can still show IFF responses even if the radar contact isn’t shown (e.g. in the clutter or notch etc).

This is actually something that has to be fixed for all planes …

It would be nice if you could implement this.
Friendly IFF responses should be shown even if the radar hasn’t detected or scanned the friendly contact.

Except the A-10C, it should be removed as it has no dedicated interrogation devices to speak of and relies on the datalink which is not supposed to be modeled.

I rather they just implement datalink for all planes that have the capability. Especially with the advanced planes that we have in the game now.

Then the A-10C would only have information datalinked to it from others

I mean, that’s how it works right now.
It doesn’t show enemies; Only friendlies (send you their own location via datalink).

Now you could make an argument that not all air and ground vehicles have (compatible) datalink capability to send you their location, but then again, in the game, even I-15 gets both Soviet and NATO compatible IFF transponder. (And for obvious reasons)

So A-10C is fine; Other planes should get their datalink capability. Both in terms of showing friendly contacts, but also sharing radar contacts.
Yes, this will change the nature of the game, especially in SB but also in RB to some degree (especially if they add radar contact sharing), but so be it … It’s realistic and the nature of the beast (modern air combat).

Please do NOT attempt to do moderation on your own, or in other words, personally.

He won’t. He swore he won’t make anymore bug reports. Don’t get scared by him and do more bug reports for French planes please.

istg if we end up with an ED F-16 gps whitepaper i’ll be … very unhappy

New skin in datamine

Not a huge fan personally

Saint Patrick day I suppose… I also think it is quite ugly. Supposed to have a Gallic/celtic style I guess.

TV slaving to the radar is inconsistent in implementation // Gaijin.net // Issues

Rafale’s IRST sensor should cue the TV sensor // Gaijin.net // Issues

God those got forwarded for review quick. But yeah the implementation of TV tracking cueing to your radar is so inconsistent. Not only for the Rafale but on everything else that can do it. F-14B, Su-34, Eurofighters, Kurnass 2000 all also have this feature but it barely works. In the case of the Kurnass 200 it doesn’t work at all. The only aircraft that has this working properly is the F-15E with the LANTIRN pod equipped but I’m not entirely sure if it is meant to even have it.

would be way to op with reduced RCS, it already dominates top tier

Didn’t F-14B have this working correctly at launch? Seems something changed since then.

Yeah at launch it worked. No idea what changed.
