Often overlooked fact is AESA’s are just tooth brushes ong fr fr hahah

Its all about the bristle density.

Wanna link me to some of these?
I really had to search for the name as I couldn’t remember it since yesterday. They’re called “Conformal Antenna” or “Structural integrated array”: A Broadband Conformal Phased Array Antenna on Spherical Surface.
Also here: Low-Profiled Wideband Dual-Polarized Conformal Antenna Array
The neat part about these types of antennas is that the part which is currently the radome becomes the antenna surface while the room under the radome can be used for the radar electronics. So you can effectively integrate radar antennas into wing surfaces and edges without needing empty room as radomes because the antennas don’t have to be flat surfaces fit into the structure.

Do they have any mentions of radar reflectivity increase and mitigation measures there?
I’m curious if they figured a way to crate a one-way wave absorbent/reflector material.
(it better not be any funky metamaterial)
I don’t know why, but it hunk this question probably dwelled well into highly classified. I don’t think anybody would want their adversaries to know if they managed to develop this kind of material
Well we certainly know that russia didn’t. Or else it would be all over anywhere you could possibly look.
Actually, they evolved somewhat in a narrative sense
None of provided sources proves that it has 100° FoR.
Too bad they didn’t in technical.
I just got the Mechanical Typhoon, is it worth playing or should I skip straight to the AESA?

go for the aesa one.
the 14.3 one is so bad. you can barely keep the tws on someone
I felt like the mechanical EF made me to work more, notch more, fight more
AESA is no question a better one with high refresh radar but it feel more reward getting frags with the Captor-M
Mecha one ok, but after playing the AESA its meh, like with the AESA one you feel like an AWACS xD
Btw, have anyone yet used this for report Future-proofing the Eurofighter Typhoon | HENSOLDT
where it’s clearly visible that the ECRS1 scans behind the 3-9 line at 0:45?
It’s… Okay… AESA Typhoon fixes one of the biggest issues which is the radar.
But if you get one of those downtier where you are facing su30 premiums it’s glorious.
Well earned 2 sp.
Radar is horrible, it will teach you the fundamentals of the Typhoon though
