Radar is still a hate crime finally used it in mixed RB and it couldn’t see the F-15 12km in front of me.
No I launched my AMRAAMs at nothing. Sadly the 1980s F-15 Radar had no problems finding and killing me in TWS.
Is this an intentional balancing tool to lower the power of the Typhoon? Every time I have depended on this Radar it has let me down.
You haven’t heard of the F-15SE?
No.
It’s currently a Blue Vixen radar set with bugs. Gaijin knows it should be better, but do not know by how much due to the lack of valid data available. There are reports out on it but due to holidays, who knows when they will be fixed.
Right now you cannot depend on the Radar unless you are hard locked. In Air BR with a full team you can spam 120s and they will likely find the mark. In one v one scenarios the Radar lets you down
I would honestly as a work around take the Gripens Radar until they figure this crap out.
I don’t follow?
F-15 tech demonstrater, made to be stealthier (hence only detecting it at 12km out)
Ha ha sorry that was wasted on me! Could be a B-52 and the Typhoon Radar would still be trying to lock the ghosts from the aether!
Take the 5 out, and that’s what the CAPTOR-M is seeing
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
But aren’t Blue Vixen, PS-05 and Captor the same thing in game right now?
No they have a weird hybrid version of the Blue Vixen as Captur. The Gripen has a 19km TWS scan mode the Typhoon doesn’t
Gripen Radar while not great is far more reliable.
100% had a Su-27 in full tennis court mode and couldn’t lock it, had to use the HMD to hard lock it and by that time the closure rate was so high the missile wouldn’t have hit.
(could have gone for guns but I had a Rafale to my left closing)
why IRST search works so weird by pitch axis?
what do you mean?
Noticed another issue TGP wont keep targets locked with the lock moving frequently.
And we no longer have a time to impact for the Paveway bombs? I was sure on Gripen and Harrier we have a time to impact we no longer have that on Typhoon (or I don’t)
Just tested in test flight Harrier has Time to impact Typhoon doesn’t for the Paveway IV
when using radar elevation axis - it kinda flips sometimes
Or alternatively they accidentally ran with errant information in some marketing materials.
No amount of vortex generators or slats (it has leading edge flap, not slats) will prevent flow detachment over the wing at 50 degrees AoA. Even the MiG-29 or Su-27 types begin to have total flow detachment at only 35-40 degrees and they are far better suited for such flight conditions.
I’ve already declared it is underperforming in radar, sustained turn, maximum overload.
Is it wrong to challenge what I’m reading or should I be spoonfed marketing material and swallow it as genuinely unbiased wholesale propaganda?
You know very well I wouldn’t have but if building strawmen is the only way to defend the plane it goes a long way to show how biased the this thread has become. You couldn’t take an objective look at the thing if your life depended on it.
Majority of airframes in the game don’t exceed the laws of physics this flagrantly on a regular basis.
Perpetrated by the British MOD against Europe - should have gone with AESA from the start.
That’s pretty funny, reminds me of another thing; the Eurofighter RCS is too large currently as well and needs to be reduced to “1/4 the Tornado RCS” according to the documents Flame provided. From what they’ve told me it should be 5-9m2 depending on models and thus Eurofighter should be 1.25 - 2 m2 RCS.
I believe the target was at least 1/4 the RCS of Tornado I believe that was also a response to you quoting the Rafale’s target of ‘less than a sparrow’. There is a report in here; by Flame himself suggesting <1 m^2 even when in an interceptor configuration.
You’re being very selective
How am I being selective, if Flame is suggesting less than 1m2 I am sure he has found information suggesting it should be so. From the last time I spoke with him on discord I was informed the Tornado could be around 5-6m2 and 1/4 of that is indeed ~1.25m2 so what is selective about that?
You can’t even listen to me suggesting a buff without complaining?
At the time AESA was in it’s infancy, it definitely should have an AESA radar by now though.
