Idk about the RBE2 but the Captor-m is going to be insane.
-fast scan rate
-200° of gimbal limit side to side
-able to track stationary ground target
It can basicly do some of the AESA shit while being a Mechanical Radar
The issue for me is mainly speed of scan.
Iam fine with ranges as you cant use current detection ranges anyway but i care about how fast i can refresh TWS for SA.
The radar has features and functions for which you need really high scan speeds, something it lacked on dev server. Sadly we wont see those features but having fast TWS is really nice in tornado.
Captor-M is 70° (140° total) horizontal , 60° elevation/depression.
Fast scan rate, yes, but can gaijin get to same conclusion based on functions of said radar and somehow extrapolate its scan rate? On dev, it was meme.
Radar was pitiful in the dev server, needs improvement to really be representative of captor.

And then we have issues of wrong scan patters that repeat itself just from opposite side.
Instead of jumping at the start of scan (doesnt matter if its on the bottom or top), it repeats the pattern from end to start, instead of JUMPING from end to start.
Some 2 bar scans even repeat 1 bar twice AND then jump to second bar. Its comedy how it is still present.
Example - should be, is literally scan of F-15. It can do it up to 6 bars like that.
Western planes (most of them), can compensate by quicker speed of antenna or ability to use less bars or narrow multiple bar scan where it jumps bars quickly. Russian planes cant do it and its terrible.
If fixed, it will buff western sets even more but atleast makes russian ones usable… now they are next to useless.

The next try to get MRAAMs for the inner pylons on the EF…

Almost all radars repeat top and bottom bars in scan
Been like that for a while, sadly. And all because of a single line of code (or lack of it), namely "barsOneWay" = true

@Smin1080p_WT Could you answer why Germany isn’t getting AIM-9L/I-1 or AIM-9M to put it on par with the other two nations?

Cheers that’s more than just a performance issue, I’ve let a Dev know.

Because it’s German. XD

there is no prove it is smokeless in the first place.
thats why they dont see any reason to add the more advanced variant
We could inform the developers that due to the lack of PIRATE, the German Typhoon’s mass should be 55 kg less than that of the British and Italian Typhoon.

Jesus christ… its like that for months. It would solve SO many issues for flankers its insane.
Is it possible to push it to devs again @Gunjob ? It cant stay like this, its utter BS and goes directly against how radar works.

Hopefully after they correct the empty weight from 11.300 kg to 11.000 kg for real this time. So 10.945 kg for the german EF.
Would be a great addition tbh. It’s quite a long time since profile icon for Germany added mostly it’s Rus or American or between those two
This is less of a decision on their part and more of a bug.
Before this bug, radar scan patterns that did not behave like "barsOneWay" = true would not have that line included in their scan pattern code, because that variable was set to true by default (they would only have "barsOneWay" = false line, if they had to change the default).
After that summer patch, the default behaviour of "barsOneWay" was changed to false (I am guessing). Consequently, since almost every scan pattern does not have that line explicitly written out, they all started to behave like "barsOneWay" = false. The F-4D is one of the few exceptions to that, its radar currently behaves like you describe radars usually scan, simply because it had that variable explicitly set to true.
BTW, this is the reason some ground radars started spinning back and forth. The fix was just adding the lines in scan patterns explicitly.
Thanks, mate. I was afraid this would go into the “radar is WIP” pile and be forgotten.

I mean, its a bug they created and left there unattended even though is so visible. Anyone knowing bare minimum about radar should see it and know that its wrong. Guys doing radars at gaijin should be perfectly aware of this.
What
We know that 9L can use a smokeless motor ATK - International Products
And if they don’t want to give L/I-1 then they can give us 9M. Italy never used 9Ms and they got them.
