There is a bad side? 👀

Question: Is there a specific reason why the SU30 has a faster radar scan speed than the Rafale?
Is that based on sources or just balancing reasons?

You should see a report on this in the next week or so rectifying the radar scan speed.

Yeah the one in the ground when there’s AASM around
I think they should make the scan speed dependent on the selected range scale, which is probably something in the development pipeline I would imagine …
Thank god
I don’t understand why they would implement AESA radar if they reduce their capabilities to balance them

The BARS radar is kind of weird honestly, it doesnt have anywhere near a consistant scan rate now that I look at it. I wonder if that was a mistake. Its narrow scan rate is in the same ballpark as the other ESA’s, but its wide scan rate is in a league of its own.

Nobody understands why they gave the Rafale AESA in the first place.

There’s absolutely no context nor prooper form to these calculations, and I’m not versed enough in jet thermodynamics to fill the blanks. If you could clarify it to me I’d gladly read it.

Really bro ?
Beides that current Scan rates on RBE2-AA and N011M seem to be based on nothing concrete (maybe on T/R count, but would that even make sense…), I hope they give AESA Radars multiple Scan-Volumes which are scanned at the same time and independed from each other.

I dont really see any reason the RBE2-AA needs any improvements atm, its still the best radar ingame by a country mile atm.
The NO11M needs some fixing tho, there shoulsnt be such a massive discrepency in its scan speeds, but at the same time theres no source to say its “wrong”, it just doesnt fit with all the other radars ingame. Personally id drop it to its lowest scan rate, but increase its scan area to match the report put in earlier this week.

I just like things perform correctly )))
However, yea - MICA range rather needs adjustments. After some SB rounds recently, the R-77-1 seems to be quite realiable and 'bit than AIM-120B in practice. The MICA EM is not bad rn, but I do see AIM-120C-5 coming sooner than later, while MICA being limited way too much compared to IRL.
Edit: After playing more SB (just now), MICA EM absolutely needs its proper range.

Su-30 are far superior at BVR atm
Impossible to fight back, they’re launching way to early, out of range of Mica.
And their radar will also get a lock before the rafale in a front-front engagement

Using the TV channel in SB is also quite useful. Thanks to the new 30km visual render range, the OFS can kinda be used for IFF and pseudo NCTR - also nice to distinguish between players and NPC’s.

You can launch at 34km on MICA. Only way a R-77-1 will hit some at that range its AFK players.
That’s extremely optimistic, at what attitude?
7000m, 9000m at 1.5m. I have being able to shoot down people with R-77-1 at these range. But funny enough is people that actually TURN into the missile. When the thing its just hanging on the air. If they add something like Su-35s i can see the R-77-1 being a problem.
