Well thats good news
do we have some sources/reports for the roll rate? cuz damn imo its way too low
i saw in some articles in relaxed fcs it should reach 270 degrees but again, nilch sources.
I think at this distance you should use PIRATE, not Captor.
Ah yes, let me fire an AMMRAM using the pirate.
Use the sensor type switch button after you lock on to the target. IRST → Radar. After launching AMRAAM, you can switch back to IRST.
I’m not entirely sure, but it seems to me that if you switch to IRST yourself, and not the automatics do it, then AMRAAM still gets target designation.
It’s just that IRST is MUCH faster than radar at these distances and it seems more logical to me to use this sensor. Plus the opponent won’t know that he is in the sights. Until the sensor switches to radar, of course.
P.S. Don’t tell this method to the German Typhoon pilots.
Spoiler
It’s backwards, if the system automatically switches to IRST you can still fire an AMMRAM.
But i get what you mean, i did the same with the MIG29/G.

Beautifull.
Traitor! Flying the German Phoon :P
(but I guess its the only way to test the changes)

Am I right in understanding…? The Su-30SM is capable of shooting down ALL of the Typhoon’s AMRAAMs, after which it will still have half of the missiles left?

There or there abouts. Which is why you need to spam off some Brimstones towards it first :P
Yeah exactly that haha.

It is only 5? °/sec more scan rate right?
Looks like more in that clip or am I just imagining it.
(or has it not even been applied yet?)
It’s been applied, the scan time was reduced from 4.3 to 4 seconds in 70° scan and from 3.7 to 3.4 seconds in 30° scan. This change is live on the UK and IT Eurofighters as well.
I think they didn’t bother with 140° scan time.
Hmm. It’s funny. Radar LIES without any embarrassment.
The missile flies to the target. Where its vector is - there is the target. And the radar displays this same target in a COMPLETELY different place. Hmm.
It’s really funny and annoying.
P.S. Yes, the distance here is small. About 5-6 km to the target. But this does not change the fact that the radar is still very slow and very dumb

CAPTOR-M is a marketing lie
with all the new changes, how does the new captor m compare to the foxhunter?
Hey. I wanted to make this joke.

sad german noises
