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

60°/s or “Slew rates are to be compatible with the tracking requirements for close combat against agile fighters of a similar aerodynamic performance to EFA.”

You just listed PS-05A and Blue Vixen WHICH HAS THE SAME PERFORMANCE. Its literally copy pasted haha what do you mean!.

Though it is very strange that the radar should be capable of tracking and identifying both moving and stationary grounds at the same time tracking air targets using an interleaved mode without any increase in scan rate

We’ll have to see if the latest round of bug fixes sorted it, but at this moment In time. I consider captor-m notably weaker than blue vixen

What kind of requirements are those? Doesnt the blue vixen already fit that?

Okay. You’ve convinced me.

Low enough to allow radars like the APG-65(MSD-2000) to enter the competition.

Just did with PS-05A lost track multiple times.

Blue Vixen fell a bit short in various areas, but yes, it was a very good radar, hence CAPTOR was heavily based on it

no scan bars :/

Yep it doesn’t display them. If thats disabled on the simulator or if its just not displayed is another question.

i mean maybe you can take a guess with the update rate (approx 1 update per second)

The lines coming from the center of the MFD are interesting. Maybe this is some kind of datalink showing the position and trajectory of the missile on our virtual radar in the game?

Depends if you’re look at the B-Scope or the Combined ESM/Radar/MIDS/IRST display. Because the latter will only tell you that something updated the track but it could be any of the aforementioned sensors.

Yeah it has two way datalink like we have on missiles in game. You can see it briefly when he fires at a few air targets.

Are there any videos where the Сaptor-M moves the radar with the radome removed on the ground?

It likely scans fast enough it doesnt need them.

Good question, I don’t know, not something I’ve looked for.
