and what for information that isnt publically available?
Is Gaijin willing to make guesstimates?
For example, we have this source
Spoiler
that states “which allows extremely high scanning speeds” but doesnt state what that speed is
clearly the guesstimate is that its the same as blue vixen

They aren’t right now, but they gonna need to be soon. We’re at the tail end of modern stuff of which declassified details exists, and it’s only gonna get worse from now on. If they don’t change their stance soon, all avionics will largely stagnate in terms of capabilities
Better but still not correct
Scan rate, Flame has good info for from the looks of it. Likely wont be a big buff, but it should increase when it gets bug reported and actionned.
The major ingame issues as I currently see them are:
- Repeating bars kill high barcount radars like CAPTOR-M. This NEEDS to be fixed as it effects both the radars ability to track targets effectively and the overall situational awareness.
- Priority track should be added, this will further mitigate the track issues of the radar.
- Roll stabilization on the blue vixen (and therefore likely the CAPTOR-M) is electronic iirc. The CAPTOR-M should have no track issues from rolling maneuvers (already implemented on the Rafale).
Theres other info we dont have public sources for yet (unfortunately) that arent useable, but do point us towards things we can look for. Those are shots in the dark tho regarding if we’ll find acceptable sources for gaijin, and some info still eludes us overall.
Im just not totally convinced that the scan rate wasnt increased from Blue Vixen. I just dont see how 70° / sec is fast enough for the interleaved mode and why they would develop a radar capable of moving at 333° / sec if its only going to use less than 1/4 of that capability. Just seems wierd for me.
Moving != scan
Where did I state that it did?
But why develop a radar that can move nearly 5x faster if you arent going to use that speed for a higher scan rate
Because scan speed is limited by light speed and necessity to send and receive many echoes
scan rate is limited by the radars range. Just a physical limit of having to wait for the return (multiple times infact as one ping usually isnt enough)
The question is if it would be sped up IRL if you reduce the scope size
So why arent ALL mechanical radars equally limited? Foxhunter has easily double the current scan rate of Blue Vixen. Many other radars also have greater scan rates to that of Blue Vixen.
Gunjob mentionmed foxhunter is bugged and much to fast rn.
Could also have to do with bar height for the radar. Ive got some unfortunately unreportable estimates that the bar heights are too low. If CAPTOR-M increased the amount of area it was scanning, that could possibly justify why it would need a longer dwell time as well.
Im still dubious personally that it is the exact same scan rate as Blue Vixen and not even slightly faster.
Because its basically bigger Sea Vixen?
It might be based upon Blue Vixen, but a large amount of it was replaced/upgraded.
OK if its going to have the radar of the 13.0 Sea Harrier, then drop the BR of the Typhoon
or yano… buff the radar with common sense and game balance in mind?
(lowering the typhoon br is obviously a stupid idea - but leaving the Captor as it currently is, is also extremely stupid)
We absolutely haven’t said CAPTOR will be left as it is currently. There are numerous reports under investigation for its performance and also some other internal corrections.

I found a highly annoying bug affecting EF and all VR players that causes targets to display incorrectly on the HUD. I have already created a bug report, can we push the issue forward? Because as I see from several other bugs concerning VR developers, to say the least they ignore / are unable to fix bugs concerning VR players . Community Bug Reporting System
Force guys working on radars to fix this and you will be left alone with constant questionstions why captor is absolute POS that wouldnt have been accepted into service even in 80s… let alone 2000s
If its really changing one word… its INSANE. And breaking all air radars just to fix bunch of SPAAS is nuts aswell. Given most SPAAs can guide missiles without radars but planes at top tier in fact CANT.
