So they didnt make it worth being used in sim still, sick. Gonna let it keep gathering dust I guess.
Any new ordinance, GBU-31’s maybe?
I didnt even check that, but planning on spending this update in SHars, so im happy for a while
I was especially amused that they focused on the defense system first. After all, if you choose a working RWR and a non-working (adequately) radar, then the RWR needs to be reworked first. As far as I remember, the DASS should not only independently respond to a threat, but also direct the aircraft’s movement in the right direction with an arrow. As I understand it, we didn’t get an arrow?

Good chance I’m mostly gonna play the Su-30SM, seeing as its a flanker with a great radar and is actually great at multirole.
Why does the typhoons radar stil suck, it still refuses to lock stuff
In what situations? what modes? what aspects? Replays? Examples?

Will scanning speed get faster or is this final version for captor m
are you talking about Dev-server or Live Server?
Here ya go, TWS+
But wait, there is more.

so, you mean on Live server, wake me when you say its still (meh) with TWS+ after the patch drops :)

Its like the INS Tracking doesnt even work
thats not TWS+, thats notmal TWS…
TWS+ comes with the Next major patch and will make it more reliable
Its no different on the dev server
so we know radars can still be notched, cool :)
I also love this
The missile knows where it is, as it uses future sight to look where radar will in a second.

From my 1 ARB match in the dev server i can say it doesn’t create bad track files anymore at least so that’s a plus.
Also this EF radar wise will never be good unless they add either custom scan areas (so we can get more than 8 degree vertical) or add RWR search mode.

Hi All, could you please share your thoughts on CAPTOR-M’s performance on the Dev server and fill in the poll here:

I played a couple more battles on the dev server…
DASS works well. The QoL is significantly raised. But otherwise, it’s pretty stupid.
When playing against the Su-30SM or F-18, you’re not just playing defense, but total defense. You’re attacked with one, two, three, four, FIFTH missiles, and you can’t even respond properly, because instead of attack systems, you have a dumb stump. You need to use the fusion sensor not for defense systems, but for attack systems.
The Typhoon has three ways to guide a missile to a target - radar, IRST, and RWR. There are three of them not because “heh, cool”, but because the radar doesn’t work fast enough. The IRST throws targets to the radar because it scans the area faster, but the radar does it better, so the contacts are sent to it for analysis and identification. RWR (which I recently became convinced of) is also able to be a guidance system, since RWR knows the position of the radiation in space, as well as the speed of rapprochement based on 2 or more radiation tracking points. And at the current moment, when the game has carriers with 10 or more ARH missiles, the ability to guide missiles through RWR is vital. Because the carrier of such a large number of missiles will thoughtlessly crush you to victory, keeping you in the notch, and gradually approaching.
In total, as far as I know, Typhoon has lack of missiles number (I think there should be 10 + 2 of them in the current version, in a later version there are from 10 + 2 to 16 + 2) and it has only one way of guiding missiles out of three. And it uses only one method of protecting their three.

In the future, if the EF-2000 acquires the ECRS Mk2, it will be possible to constantly track targets in 200°, including gimbal range. link
N011M is combines electronic scanning and gimbal. If N011M can track in all areas, then ECRS Mk2 should have the same capability.
