there is no need for PIRATE. its old now and they can use Litening G4 as an IRST. AMK was already evaluated, the question is if its worth it for them to include in P4E ( i hope so ).
i see this being used more for weapons than anything else tbh.
IRIS-T Blk2, FCAAM, FEANIX, SPICE-250ER, etc
theres no need to buy pirate now. thats like getting into 20 year old tech which is outdated
still useful but if you wanted it, you’d look for something newer
I think you missed my point. One of the reason some IRST are installed over the nose is to be able to track a enemy in a dogfight. No matter how advanced, LITENING cant beat the constrain of its carrier plane separating it from the target.
Datamine shows there’s an event coming up with cold war SEAD, probably as a test mostly, but i think they’re getting ready to add AA (S-75) to airfields as well. Exciting stuff, finally.
Does anyone know if gaijin will actually model captor-m? Because its really annoying to be using the blue vixen radar on a typhoon since THAT is the placeholder radar it got
