Where does it say it is a “standard wide-beam”?
rethink about the speed
I don’t know, I have not worked on EFT, and even if someone here did I doubt they would tell us real reasons.
When there is material to suggest a rethink, that will indeed take place.

It doesn’t, there are three sensors and none of them have any kind of array. They’re small and simple in design, that is the only possible option.
Does this one has an array?
The fact it is not visible does not mean it is there.
This report suggests that the Eurofighter does not have a PD based MAWS - that is the only type of MAWS it actually has IRL.

So the report was labeled not a bug, but this is unfair. All other aircraft with PD based MAWS should receive it or the EFT should lose it until this type of MAWS is modeled in the game.
Of course, it should obviously retain the RWR based MAWS, but to model the PD maws as IR based is not the right solution.

I read that, what do you think I am replying to
is’t that report that people have above raising more questions for further research on this?
This report suggests EFT already has a PD MAWS and should have other properties of that. Currently, we do not have PD MAWS in game. As per the answers posted earlier above in this topic: Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion - #3916
DASS functioning on IR detection rather than PD - Currently all MAWS operate via IR means. The functionality for PD / Radar sensor does not currently exist, but will be studied further in the future, and its possible it may come.
Once PD MAWS becomes available, then such reports will be possible to submit. But until PD MAWS functionality is implemented, reports wont be accepted on additional features of that, that are not part of the current MAWS functionality in game.

The MAWS on the Eurofighter is a wide-beam pulse doppler antenna. Is it not possible to simulate the reduced angular accuracy of the MAWS until such a time as they can properly model it? The aircraft only benefits from the decision otherwise, having all the advantages of passive MAWS with none of the disadvantages.
This is also extremely unfair for all the other aircraft that have PD based MAWS but are not yet simulated in the game.

No it isn’t - stop making up complete hogwash. You haven’t the faintest clue what it does or doesn’t have.
Your posts in this otherwise informative thread have more or less boiled down to a torrent of:
‘Waaaah! The Typhoon cannot possibly do this, that, X or Y because I, MiG-23M - decree it cannot! If I don’t know how it works it must be impossible!’
The people who put these things together know more about aircraft that you do. That isn’t insulting, it isn’t denigrating - it’s just the facts of the matter.

There is no other way for the sensor to gain the required coverage and maintain reduced weight, complexity, and size.
We currently have one type of RWR in game. All aircraft are treated equally in that regard.
If you wish to report other aircraft missing an RWRs system, you are more than free to do so.

I can bug report any aircraft with PD MAWS and they will be added as IR MAWS then?
You will not accept a report on the EFT’s MAWS having too much accuracy in regards to the missile angle of approach?
Then what type of a not phased array is the MAW radar antenne is?

Oh great - he’ll be hammering on Google for the next 20 minutes for his charts from 1960…
Maybe he has a pathological fear of delta-wings…he did go a bit weird when I brought up Concorde…

Isnt the MAWS on the Typhoon able to detect what the missile is and the time to impact but you are claiming it has too much accuracy interms of being to determine where the missile is coming from?

Please read the post I made on this already.
The advantages of the PD based MAWS are time to target information through range gating, as well as distance. The angular accuracy due to the wide antenna beam (something it will suffer from regardless of whether or not it is a phased array due to limited TR modules count and wide instantaneous coverage area) will be very poor.
