Uh, kinda. Foxhunter is much faster but only has 5° vertical scan region. Blue Vixen has an 11° vertical scan region, so covers a wider arc with each pass.
In war thunders low alt meta, fox hunter is likely better, but with the typhoons high alt performance, the wider scan area is probably better for it.
That being said, im still massively hoping for a scan rate increase for captor-M so it’s a best of both worlds.
At the moment, I consider it a placeholder/WIP radar
Eurofighter has better FM for any kind of fight, although they both have similar sustained turn rate at low or high speed with a slight advantage to the EF.
Now before merging the J-10 is better since the PL-12 pull very good and can be used for HOBS at close range almost like a R77/mica. And the PL-5cii (similar to magic 2) also work better at short range in case the EF merges with too much speed and fumbles the first turn.
One major drawback for dogfighting with the J-10 is the gun, slow velocity and low ammo. That has to be taken in consideration too.
Now if the EF merges and uses full controls to fight like a flanker or mirage2k, the J-10 can’t compete because it doesn’t respond very well at slow speeds with full controls.
But still extremely limited in ammo compared to a few at top tier and whilst it has a better muzzle velocity, I quite often find its lower rate of fire means targets can sometimes fly through the rounds unscathed.
So pros and cons to both, but I wouldnt rely upon the typhoon to gun fight unless I had no choice
