I totally agree. Though, does anyone has any data on EFs ability to lock helicopters?
Radar:
Captor-M can identify stationary ground vehicles, a heli will be easy
Pirate:
If it can detect an aircraft at 50-80km usually and even up to 150km under good conditions, should have no issue with detecting a heli.

Ah yes the historical German Brimstone 1
IRST has never been on any in service German Eurofighter and is a unique feature to the British and Italian
HMD has been tested on the Rafale for year on a few versions with other F3Rs using HMD as well. The HMD is done because it is very important in top tier and isn’t something that is part of the plane and since the F3R can use a HMD it is why it gets one
IRST has been tested on multiple German Eurofighters for years and other Eurofighers are using it as well

Were you able to file the bug report?
No, Gunjob confirmed that CAPTOR-M Was getting TLC and to hold off on bug reports like that for now:

Hmm, ok, I’ll hope they don’t forget about that part
Well, if they do, i’ll submit a bug report then, but hopefully the scan rate will increase notably and even with a lower INS tracking time, it wont matter
Pretty sure it’s unhistorical for all EFTs atm, as the only Brimstones to have been used by the Brits on the EFT would’ve been Brimstone 2s, for Germany it’s Brimstone 3s (officially purchased), which obviously cannot be added as they’re far too potent - so the compromise here should’ve been Brim 2s for all (and at the very least IPA 7 might’ve tested those as well).

Dunno, man, unless the make have a scan pattern that is wide enough with a period of like 2 seconds, I think the problem will happen often enough.
But even without it, the problem is the recentering of the scan zone upon a cleared track file.
It will not happen with manual queueing, but will will happen with target cycling enabled, which is what a lot of people will use (most, really).
Which of the EFT’s were you using in the video?
FGR4. I’ve got Britain to top tier at the moment
Everything I posted is supported quite well by research and military documentation and I’ve shared both in the Typhoon threads.
So, the one with an IRST, right?
Yes, it does
The EFT devblog also said the radar is “advanced”
Gaijin, much like the makers of the EFT, are liars tho, so be careful.
That was stated as outdated by the other guy here
Is Captor unique for german Typhoon?
Yeah… Also, unfortunately we have no solid primary sources for the radar. So it will all be secondary sources, but if we end up with something akin to fox-hunter but with a larger scan area or the Su-34s PESA. Then we will be golden
No, all 3 have the same radar
