Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 1)

First, we do not have radar MAW in game, all are IR
Second, MAW in game are forced to ignore planes, so they detect only things like missiles, flares(not quite historical on later ones) etc.

Metaltank1990 · February 27, 2025, 9:14am

Sure but what’s stopping gaijin from modelling them as separate sensors?
Also, somewhat more critically, what’s stopping them from adding radar MAW at this point? The GR.7s been in game long enough and they still haven’t fixed the MAW going off on its own countermeasures in a hover.

PS

this should not take so long

DevilO6 · February 27, 2025, 9:16am

I have no idea. They will add them when they want to.

Even IR MAWS likely shouldnt be going off for flares irl. Certainly not modern imaging ones. Gaijins MAWS implementation is just very very lazy at the moment.

they fixed doublescan in the dev-stream

Dontkev-psn · February 28, 2025, 6:37pm

fixed issues as of now

Weird, Captor-M got the slightly reduced radar scan period, while the Captor-M with Pirate did not.

Spoiler

Definitely not the only thing

Does eurofighter has NCTR IRL?
I think if it does - it can be reported, Su-30 got smth close to NCTR.

WereCat888 · February 28, 2025, 7:55pm

Every other plane that has NCTR already has a report open and accepted, including the EF.

What’s it got?

WereCat888 · February 28, 2025, 8:02pm

Do you know what the Eurofighter MAW is called in the Datamine files? i want to check what changed because smin said maw is fixed.

Dontkev-psn · February 28, 2025, 8:06pm

DASS
is the name, and you can feel the changes allready in the testdrive

This file has been truncated. show original

It’s been changed into a proper radar MAWS

WereCat888 · February 28, 2025, 8:10pm

Thanks, i wonder if they’ll explore adding its ability to detect planes, and apparently do IFF and NCTR on them

Basicly can identify target with radar

Metaltank1990 · February 28, 2025, 8:20pm

The radar seems to be… trying to do something? it’s listed as “TWS+” now on devserver and weirdly drifts off the target unless it’s constantly updated (much much worse than live)

Flame2512 · February 28, 2025, 8:23pm

Make sure you submit a report on that behaviour

Metaltank1990 · February 28, 2025, 8:25pm

It seems to be updating the same way rafale does, but slower (as it should) and… wrong? I’m not quite sure i have the resources to do bug reports rn but i’ll see what I can do

kensai16 · February 28, 2025, 8:52pm

They took the 20 km range for 1 m² targets or what does “rcs: 1.0” mean? 20 km should be the range for targets with an RCS of 0,1 m².
What exactly does “signalHoldTime” mean? The time the target has to be detected before it rings the alarm? That would be deadly if the missile was shot at you from a really short range.

Metaltank1990 · February 28, 2025, 8:53pm

I imagine signalHoldTime is the time from losing track which it will hold the signal, so if it detects a missile it will warn you instantly, but if it loses it the warning stays for 3 seconds.
