Lol have you guys seen the new HMD on the Rafale? Shit is glorious
Is Scorpion actually modelled properly now?
On a similar topic of HMDs does the F/A-18’s have a new HMD?
Genuinely can’t tell the difference for the F-18 one. Is some of the JHMCS issues like the missing radar lock box or RWR fixed on it?
How is the performance of Captor E now? Besides the azimuth angle, what are the differences between MK1 and MK2?
Seems fairly good, but the radar interface makes it really really hard to use.

Is the scan rate not rather slow as per gunjob’s estimates?
Surprised su30sm still the fastest scan rate, would assume gunjob and flame are gonna put in reports for the scan rate for the eurofighters
Any amraam changes lads?
And scan regions at that. 70 degrees is a bit tight for the wide scan when it should definitely be capable of doing 200
- Narrow scan is copy paste of CAPTOR-M
- Medium and wide scan are copy pastes of APG-63(V)3
- Update rate is same as Rafales (worst out of ESA’s, though not a big deal)
All the new ESA’s are currently copy pastes of the APG-63(V)3 in terms of scan zones (and associated speeds) except the ECRS narrow scans for some reason.
As for “Gunjobs estimate” its not an estimate, its a properly sourced minimum number. The same source that was used to give CAPTOR-M a 70deg/s scan rate puts CAPTOR-E at minimum 8x faster (560deg/s), and actually says its significantly faster than that, but the number we have is 8x faster, so thats what should be expected.
Blah blah blah, radar not final, but yes, ECRS is MASSIVELY underperforming atm.

Na, not fast enough, need it faster :P
Ah okay so it’s currently C&P values. Checks out. I’ll refrain from complaining too much for now.

also ? you have it listed as 0.011 (same as Su-30SM)
Made a mistake, ty for catching it. I copy pasted the APG-63(v)3 lines cuz thats what the rest of the info is

On a similar note, the german EF is currently 200x200 on dev (same as others)
ECRS Mk1 code exists, and Germany is the only one that uses it, so i’ll leave it as is for now. If it comes to live with ECRS Mk.2 ill change it
And yet the German one has standard rectangular radar with ±90, while the other two have circular ones and in fact do hold lock at 100deg.
Therefore what Xray says of German one is simply wrong.
So I have to manually gimbal the AESA radar. Is that supposed to be?
