I just got info this feature is supposed to prevent radar from getting stuck in aquisition mode.

Nah the ghost tracking might be fixed, they reduced the beam size, so it should be less likely to see things its not meant to be looking at.
Its not entirely a nerf, the nerf part is just what jumped out at me, along with the fact they notably DIDNT fix some known issues plaguing it, like the incorrect bar pattern and the scan rate.
Dunno about it, the ghost will prevail, especially in wide mode
I mean like if the target already change direction, but because the scan pattern was wrong it keep track the wrong target for long time until got update from tws. It should be able update position faster if scan pattern designed correctly.
Oh, yeah that isnt being fixed at all unfortunately…
Big radar buff

Which is a great fix, but not really a buff as such as the Radar should have had this before it left the dev server.
Reducing the scan window size and upgrading the power.
Means we will see even less down low even with the Radar angled downward.
More power…Typhoon could detect things at range it just couldnt lock them and maintain a lock/TWS updates will the power increase help?
ahhh acshually you guys its a big nerf you see less numbers means worse

Is this catcher m？
Yes.
Can you tell me what modifications this has made to the current Catcher M and what the modified Catcher M performance will look like？
I dont fully understand the changes from the datamine alone.
But, I think the changes will look something a bit like this
Buffs
- Should maintain locks better
- Much longer range (its currently bugged and stuck at 74km, so it is an increase, even when its being “nerfed”)
- Should find targets easier
Nerfs
- Scans a smaller area with each sweep.
Is this for all radars？
Yes, its for all 3 Typhoons
And what about the 70° scan rate mentioned by smin?
Not in this data mine, but doesnt mean it’s not coming in the next update.
As far as I understand, all Typhoons have a “smaller scan area with each sweep” and a reduced range for lock-on and detection. I can’t tell if the lock is better or if it finds targets more reliably.
Why the hell would they nerf the radar? like its already the worst top tier radar in the game, such a gaijin moment.
