Except fuel load (and aircraft total weight) is known for the test I did.
This is merely plotting a point on a map through range and bearing. Not any sort of improved 3D target localisation which is found on the Rafale and which is the Eurofighter is incapable of.
Sure, Eurofighter has sensor fusion, it’s just nowhere near as capable or extensive as the Rafale’s. Which brings me back to my original point:
Is there any source on the accuracy of the RWR? I wonder if the Rafale could achieve sufficient weapons lock without the use of radar or laser rangefinder. But that seems unlikely.
I don’t know if this is new, but in sim the optronic automatically choose, select and follow enemy target (on the optronic mfd) without any input from the pilot?

Yes, the RWR is capable of providing 3D coordinates, and thus can provide air to air or air to ground targeting as a result. These 3D coordinates can be supplied to the IRST if the laser range-finder is not within range (40km).

Can you give an example? The optronic should be cued by the radar/IRST. So if you select targets or switch targets with those sensors then the TV camera sensor follows it.
Although there’s a little bit of a bug when it comes to the optronic being cued right now:
TV Camera no longer properly slaves to radar (BUG) // Gaijin.net // Issues

Might be this, because i never used the tv sensor before (in my experience the infrared mfd never followed any plane, it was just howering around), but i was using AASM with designator pod, and it wouldn’t let use the designator pod and forced me to use the TV with the lock on the enemy plane landing instead of ground target camera
The radar can provide more accurate range information than the IRST. While the IRST can provide more accurate angular (Azimuth & Elevation) information than the radar.
As an example: By combining the range information from the radar and the Azimuth / Elevation information from the IRST the Eurofighter is able to more accurately determine the location of the target in 3D space, than would be possible using either sensor by themselves.
Is that not literally the definition of “improved 3D target localisation”?

Maybe if the target were floating in space…
yeah but you cannot forget the other part of the sentece just because you dont like it
and also dont ignore how both deepseek and chatgpt translated that sentece
it never says it is only eliminating deviations it says it is ALSO doing it

I don’t know if anyone has reported this yet, but the Scorpion HMD has lost its first-person view designation point since the last update.

The cross which showed location of the designated aera on the radar mfd is also not working anymore

Rafale’s IRST FOV should be increased from 64° x 40° to 80° x 60°: Community Bug Reporting System

It looks like you may partially get your wish. Looks like it’s supposed to be 140x16 and not 140x31.

hi direct support when will see mica em range being fixed?
When the sky falls upon us and the majority of trees have missiles exceeding its range twofold.

Balance is why my friend.
With a realistic MICA the Rafale beats everything.
Expect to see buffs when the 120C comes to game

MICA missile should have 360 degree launch envelope

Where was AIM-54 or R27ER balance?
