I think airframe and engine from F-16C Block 50/52 but upgraded avionics and armament like F-16C/D Block 70/72 standard
I think we can file his response under the '- ‘ThAt DoEsNT CoUnT!’ category…
Shame this bloody forum doesn’t let us ignore hidden profiles. His incessant google-posting outdated docs is getting tiresome.

Are we still doing the channel losses thing?
Far more importantly, I think, Gaijin should be working on fixing CAPTOR. It is worse than the ICE’s radar by a mile!

Well, tws should be fixed… Being copy paste of decade older radar is another, MASSIVE issue.
I dont even know how gaijin can come to conclusion that radar capable of revisiting targets no matter the bar, is slower than 70s apg63.

It’s been a while since any jet gave me a huge “YOU HAVE A HUGE SKILL ISSUE” warning. Enjoying it to the fullest. Can’t quite get into BVR, because it’s boring. But with this new weird system where you can’t see anyone further than 10 km and sometimes the marker appears only after 2-3 seconds even at closer ranges - makes my previous playstyle pretty much irrelevant, but well…

I hope Gaijin could give some clarification on their policy, but I dare not tag Smin.
By all accounts the CAPTOR M is hailed as the best mechanically scanned radar ever put on a jet.
But “The best” is not quantifiable.
But then it can be logically deduced that it must, at least, be better than the radars it was developed from, and the ones it replaced. So it should be better than Blue Vixen and the 65GY.
How much? And in what way? No one knows on here and those that do are not at liberty to share (Keep it that way!)
So theres no documentation on it, but that is what is needed for bug reports.
So what is Gaijin to do? Do they simply copy paste info from the latest developed radar we DO have information on?
In that case an extreme example would be a copy paste 65GY into the F35 because we have zero info on its actual radar.
Or does Gaijin take some liberty and make some improvements on systems we all know nothing about? If so, how do we bug report things that we feel should be adressed?
Actually, sorry @Smin1080p_WT I think I do have to ping you because I do not know how to get an answer on this policy. I do apologize

I actually swear to god i hate the radar on this thing, you cant track anything in TWS. and if you turn hard enough your wings fall off
Wings falling off is a skill issue, the radar is an abysmal dogwater, noticed some troubles with HMD lock as well.
i had a F8U-2 moment, i had no warning and my wings just disappeared
You just brought out my PTSD from playing the Crusaders.
Hello
The radar is based on all available public information we have, given it’s well known it was an improvement / evolution on Blue Vixen.
For all of the areas and characteristics we know to be different and have public data on, these will be featured on the radar.
Sadly sources that simply state it’s “better than” something but with no clear direction on what, how or why, mean they are often not useable to possible to do anything with.
We will of course investigate any reports with clear information that something is incorrect about the radar.

Jesus christ… If thats how you gonna do modern classified radar sets. God help us.
Everywhere when someone talks about captor, even manufacturer, they say its very quick. It can revisit targets on different elevation than scan itself to keep them updated. Just this alone clearly shows its scan speed should be SUBSTANTIALLY faster than blue vixen, otherwise it simply cant keep fixed tws intervals of scan.
To use stats of 10 years older radar set with significantly worse processing and antenna technology is… Its not even insane, it worse than that.
Somehow you can slap non-existant irst on 141 or double rails on SM even though they physically cant fit or 38mt on su25 but increasing scan speed on 2000s radar dish is nono just because thing it was BASED ON, NOT MADE ON. BASED ON, is slower 10 years old set.

can you at least make it so the TWS at least works, this shit pisses me off

This is a poor excuse you’ve given it a radar worse than the aircraft it replaced the tornado F.3 with the fox hunter radar. Fox Hunter is one of the best radars in game. Giving it a virtually copy pasted sea vixen radar is abysmal why list advanced radar on the devblog if there just going to do that. Why would an aircraft in service in the 2000’s have a radar set that performs worse than the radars from the 70/80s in game. Can they not use some logic and common sense?!

TWS had a fix yesterday:
Typhoon FGR.4, F-2000A — display time of radar contacts in TWS tracking mode has been increased.

they clearly didn’t, because unless I’m in 20x6 scope, it doesn’t track anyone

Welcome to slow refresh TWS… Somehow we got radar which would never pass trials for tyhoon irl.

Why was the GMTI mode removed? It had it on dev server.
It doesn’t have a Sea Vixen radar.
The radar is being modelled based of all known facts and details about it. As mentioned above, reports are welcome on clear information that shows any of its missing features or capabilities.
But just claims if it being “better” sadly don’t mean anything can be changed.

The whole radar is an absolute shambles. I don’t see how they thought this would suffice and people would just be like yeah okay.
