Which EFT?
Germany no, Britain and Italy yes
and there is seperate keybind for toggling between IRST and Radar
the british one
Edit: nvm just dumb
Didnt have a keybind set for it?
thought it was just on the radar search mode lmao didnt realise it had its own key bind lol
Hehehe.
I had a major crisis freeing up a keybind on my HOTAS to bind that
Ive been playing sim with mouse and keyboard lol
Definetly advantages to that, like easier head looking without head-tracking and much easier time using A2G weapons. I usually swap my hand from my HOTAS to my mouse when aiming A2G weapons in a tpod
Lowkey bugs me a lot theres no way to slave the tpod to my head movement in VR
Do you mean in the tpod view to move it about or do you mean using HMD to create a target point?
Tpod view to move it about. Its a bit jarring going from 3D view where head movement dictates where you’re looking, to 2D view where you have a flat screen, back to 3D view.
Theoretically, if I can make a target point with the HMD, I should be able to slave the tpod to my head movement. Im pretty sure theres actually an option to do exaftly that in-game, but it doesnt do anything when you turn it on.
Ooof yeah, that does sound pretty bad. Either htat or just need decent TPod MFDs and controllable Tpods from the cockpit
Yikes… wrong EF thread…
I assume the radar isnt meant to constantly lose lock with TWS and fail to pick up targets flying less then 10km in front of you
only if you think that the most advanced mechanical radar to ever be developed is worse than the one on a pumped up F4F
lol
The thing that bugs me the most is that, by most/all metric except range, the CAPTOR-M is inferior to radars that it was developed from (Blue Vixen/PS-05 Raven), and inferior to a radar it defeated in competition (APG-65, which technically it defeated an improved version of in competition).
Gaijin has somehow made the CAPTOR-M effectively worse than all radars remotely involved in its development, and seem to see no issue with their modelling.

Yeah Gaijin really seems to hate the Typhoon for some reason (probably because its part british)
Funny story about that actually, Ive recently come to the realization that Britain and Germany are counterparts in-game, and ironically enough, gaijin seems to hate both nations.
The EFT being a joint project is sort of a double whammy on that point, and seems to put it in the uniquely unenviable position of having a dev target on its back.
That being said, “the devs hate X nation” is not a super productive discussion to have, nor do we reallyu have anything but anecdotal evidence of that theory.
