Yes because its fine on the German EFT. Only uk_captor_m_pirate had the bug, uk_captor_m was working fine.
any scan speed changes on the horizon?

isn’t it theoretically the best mechanically scanned array radar ? if that is the case i do expect a lot more changes and buffs on it out passing the Tornado ADVs radar and more right ?

Not that I know of, we don’t have primary data for that or for Blue Vixen, its only bit of data I’m missing for BV as well.

That is often how it is referred to in media yes.
Out pacing it what regard?

another annoying question but will the rwr/situational awareness display be fully functional or will it just stay as a RWR only thing?
Don’t know but I’ll ask.

Well scan speeds for starters.
CAPTOR M scans about as fast as the Radar on ICE.
I think it can be generally inferred that the more scan speed the better. So it should logically be faster than the ICE radar or Bkue Vixen for that matter. How much? No one knows.
Good thing gaijins modelling it with this assumption in mind! /s

Marketing lies! Obviously the radar widely regarded as the best mechanically scanned radar in the world isnt actually any better than the radar it is derived from.

What inference? From who? And how much?
Yeah that is the issue. How much? No one knows. Are there documents? Probably yeah. Not any documents I have anyway. And those documents would land someone in jail anyway if they were distributed. And Gaijin couldnt use them as famously stated
But there in lies the issue. What is Gaijins policy on this type of thing?
Theoretical example: the F35 comes to the game. It has the single most advanced sensor array every put on a fighter jet. Its radar is completely bonkers in performance. You know this, I know this, Gaijin knows this. However none of us have any actual numbers. Would it end up with a radar that is pretty much identical to whats on the F15? Or rather would it perform the same as the latest radar we DO have numbers on?
I know for a fact the ACM modes are wrong for example, but I have no way of fixing them. Frustrating to be burdened with unusable knowledge.

Gaijin really needs to come up with a plan/solution for modeling things fairly when information isn’t available due to its classified nature.
Given it’s alleged performance, I’d take know data from high scan rate m-radars and maybe some early pesa radars and average out the results and just apply that. Or something to effect

Agreed. It cant be that, theoretically, and F35 in gsme would have the same radar performance as the latest radar we DO have info on
The fact gaijin thought copy pasting the blue vixen radar over a suitable choice despite not giving it any benefits is hilarious tbh. More advanced more powerful radar let’s just give it this one instead. We all got told not to bug report it for now because it was WIP and now we’ll look at it absolute shambles.

I currently suspect the EFT CAPTOR-M was supposed to be given a much higher scan rate to go along with the 4 sec refresh time, but they just decided not to do so and instead gave it the mediocre piece of tech it has now and increased the refresh time cuz it was easier.
Its also a headscratcher with the Rafale, firstly because they can’t even get the name right (called it the RBE2 AESA instead of the RBE2-AA, can easily find the radar name with a quick google search ffs), and secondly because Ive heard the french mains say its pretty lackluster as well and notably inferior to the Su-34’s PESA radar even after the buff/fix.
Disclaimer:
(Granted the french players say the Rafale is basicly the worst jet ever added to the game and that the entire world is conspiring against them to keep them as the worst nation in WT or something insane and overexagerated as usual, so take this with a grain of salt)

Worst nation lol. Mirages have been, and still are absolute murder machines.

Yeah, i really dont know what they are doing with wise to radars this update :D
While no one ever suspects them, the MICA armed M2K can single handedly dominate lobbies when they go close range, not really a BVR competitor but with MAWs, Advanced RWR, great HMS and an abundance of flares + 8 of the best missiles in the game.
Very easy to underrate mirages (and by extension the rafale) due to their lack of BVR yet they are more than capable within 20km at being dominant
