Sadly not in warthunder
Dear Gaijin, do you plan to fix Catcher M, I’m discouraged that Catcher M is still the same after so many updates

Agreed this is stupendous at thus point
Britain tax
You can choose between:
- Good FM
- Good weapons
or - Good equipment.
Sometimes you can pick 2, but usually only 1

PIRATE is getting buffs it seems I assume it’s buffs anyway
Narrow: Same scan time, but split into more bars.
Wide: Longer scan time, split into more bars.
System by itself no longer stabilizes (will always rotate with the plane)
And it seems it will have a worse distance accuracy, from 10m to 100m.
Overall, a nerf.
Yippee
Anyone else having an issue where you will track someone in TWS mode and get a missile lock but then the missile will refuse to fire?
Yes I’m having the same annoying problem sometimes, when I try reselecting any of the missile’s it just doesn’t work at all and I would eventually get killed before I would even launch
edit: This also happens on every other radar mode

Looks like we gotta report the range part then because I think I remember a source that said comparable in determination of range to the radar or something to that extent.
You’re either going into TRK MEM which I have a report on (@Gunjob do you mind giving it a look?) or going into TRK IR which there’s another report for which I believe has also been reported.
Well, yes. But no.
Now the scanning beam goes “there and back”. That is, to return to the left edge and update the contact, the system now needs 5 seconds. Tomorrow it will require 3.
But the main thing I’m waiting for is that I hope for a link to the report in the patch notes. Or a link to a document that records the future values of the IRST operating parameters.
Bruh moment by gaijin
so its just for the pirate but they cant fix it for the radars wtf

Looking for information on the MAWS for the EFT, seems if it is active it should quite literally appear to be a constant ping on some people’s radars within a certain distance that a Typhoon is in the area.
Staff removed my comment about the Typhoon being a strobe light, but honestly it was completely on topic.

This is true, the EFT and other aircrafts with radar-based MAWS should remain on RWR of nearby aircrafts even if the main radar is turned off. All stealth aircrafts in service to this day uses IR-based MAWS because it doesn’t have radar emissions, from the F-35, F-22, Su-57, and J-20 for good reasons.
UV/IR MAWS for F-22 and F-35, idk about the rest

What the hell?
MAWS is designed to counteract targets that are many times smaller than aircraft. Perhaps such systems have a very short wavelength. Something like K-band or L-band. In this case, almost all RWRs simply will not “hear” them. 0% proof. 100% pure reasoning
L band is certainly detectable and aircraft or systems looking to detect modern fighters will more than certainly be looking for these types of signals on RWR
Example of MAWS with L-Band
Example of RWR with L-Band detection
It has been well known that radar based MAWS downside is constant emissions;

Any questions?
