Ye it’s in the post; I will add that it’s data from iirc 1992, so the ECR-90C in service 15 years later is likely to have been significantly improved from what we have.

Btw using Flames data, and an equation off google(somebody will have to fact check me on that one), I got an RCS of EFT of 1.52m^2

Using this a substituting range in, and everything else as K, given in both scenario’s it should be constant.
RCS = ((75^4)x10)/(120^4))

This effectively works in the logic that R max is proportional to the 4th root of RCS
Applying the same math, gives an RCS of 3.5m^2 for Flanker, which is abit less than half that of EFT, as it says.

Which flanker has an RCS that low? lol
According to this, Flanker’s RCS < 10m^2 irrelevant of any calculations.
Seems like this would be an ECR-90A standard from this:
https://defensearchives.org/editorials/the-captor-radar
Slotback radar implies the early flankers, their RCS should be higher. This estimate is giving them a huge benefit of the doubt in RCS. Most estimates state 15-20m2 for the early Su-27 models.
This doc is ≈1990 btw
I think it overestimates the N001 capabilities as well lol

I mean point being, whatever they have flanker in terms of rcs, it ends up with EFT being 1.5m^2.
As for ECR-90C, I’ve seen 160km @3m^2 quotes before, will try to find better numbers.
Can’t wait for Gaijin to implement this months after it should’ve been added, and in a broken state ensuring Britain continues to never have anything meta

We have had meta vehicles in the past. The Hunter F.6 dominated top tier for a fair while. When the Phantom FGR.2 was added it was objectively the best jet in the game and had a couple of revivals as the top dog (one of the only aircraft to get flares when they were first added, then one of the first to get SARH missiles, then the only jet to get a Pulse Doppler radar for a while). More recently the Harrier GR.7 was one of the best jets in top tier air RB until the AIM-9L nerf.

Good points, might just be being salty but just feels like the minor nations always get the short end of the stick
I think it overestimates the N001 capabilities as well lol
no, it matches N001 figures in 27s manual.
That 20m^2 figure comes from an SU27 using a full missile loadout if I remember correctly.
Pretty sure the Viggen received PD radar in the same update?
The Harrier GR.7 has never been the best jet in air RB. It’s not even the best CAS in the game, despite having the highest BR of any strike aircraft.
