It should only appear for a second at most. Chaff is very light wieght and has a lot of drag. It would have next to no inertia and a PD radar should stop tracking it almost immediately. I would say wind conditions (which arent modeled) would be more likely to cause chaff to be detected on PD rather than the inertia from being dropped from an aircraft.

Also due to the fact that the chaff cloud is made up of many small reflectors in an effectively random orientation the return also looks very different to an aircraft, especially if polarization is taken into account.

It’s almost negligible.
Almost all chaff these days is glass fibre based, deliberately because of the horrible drag factor (makes it significantly easier for the airstream around the dispensing aircraft to break up the chaff clumps).
This is 100% a bug atm, I’ve got two recorded clips of it happening in my SU-27
Just flying along, not lock warning, then bang - hit by a fakour 90
Had it happen at low level and up high

Thodin’s view is…let’s stay polite and call it “unique” in general no matter what gamemode though.
Wake up babe new EF-2000 reports just dropped

And on top of that, they seem to have an pretty low Quality on console
Edit:
Added examples since those are supposed to be 4K skins
Me right now, waiting for EF to be fixed

If the eft is like other top tier aircraft you could be waiting over a year
I waited for my begel to be fixed… You see, I’m not a rookie
I just want a version with LWS and apfsds and the 720 engine. Ill wait as long as need be snail

I test flew a bit with my friend earlier and yeah, Fakour 90 seems to just not be pinging RWR, we tried a few vehicles. His EFT didn’t pick up the missile at all. My Su-27 got a ping once then stopped, My Harrier and F15 didn’t get any pings and both Gripen Models didn’t get pinged. Seems to be bugged and only occasionally ping.
Be rain upon thee, my friend. For it the snail slithers faster the wetter the surface is you see
Eh ive been waiting years since other vehicles introduction for them to get any of their service related upgrades or equipment. Just part of the requirement to be a war thunder player
Any of you guys play sim using VR?
The Eurofighter feels almost unplayable. All the HUD markers float all over the place. The radar simply stops working after a while, still scanning but picking nothing up making even identifying friendlies and enemies impossible like you’re playing a 9.0 plane in 14.0 match.
Yeah this has been reported and passed to devs. Makes the HUD effectively unusable in the EFT if you have your radar on.
Passed 2 months ago but still no fix: Problem with target marker on hud of eurofighter in VR
The radar is turbo garbage at the moment, with only the Su-27SM radar being worse at top tier imo. The VR HUD issues are brutal, the DASS MFD still shows EFT/Rafale/Kfir C10 as “?” despite the in-game RWR being able to identify them, and the massive frame rate drops in VR during dogfights just make it overall a plane I would not recommend anyone play in VR atm. The frame drops happen to most/all top tier jets, atm in VR, but the EFT also has all the other terrible issues that just push it over the edge imo.

I love how the J-11A is so bad people have genuinely forgot that it exists.

Same radar as the Su-27SM, so there wasnt any reason to bring it up. Its a bit of an interesting jet tbh. Better missiles than the Su-27SM and has MAWS, but worse cockpit and RWR.
