Too bad you can’t use aim120 with gmtii anymore
in game we got tranche 2 right now lol
not even tranche 3 or 4
tranche 4 is only supposed to be dilerved soonish
now that is nice. Ive not really bothered with the GMTI yet, but with E-Scan… Very nice. Just need multi-mode now
I really don’t think it’s smaller or anything, the Captor E Mk0 is said to have 1626 TRMs, idk if it was hand counted (there’s pictures of it with modules exposed) or calculated because the antenna and SMTR GaAs TRM module it uses physical sizes are know.
Mk 1 i think should have the same amount but they switched to Wideband GaN TRM so the performance would only get better even if count is reduced.
Another piece for the 1600 number is Hensoldt says it needs more than 250000 TRMs to fulfill Captor E Mk1 needs and there’s 150 on order and that comes out to 1666 TRMs per radar, maybe subtract a bit for spares or whatnot but you get the point.

Ohh okay so, currently, no functional difference in game other than 40degrees fewer scan (only in the mech scan area). Thanks for the good info
Does anybody have in game footage of Captor E in sensor view?
Yeah, for now, there is minimal in-game difference, but I think ECM/EW could be on the way sooner rather than later
Looks about how you’d expect it to look really. 70x30 raster scan nothing special
IIRC all Leonardo have said is “a lot”

Maybe so! In that moment Mk0 and 2 could be a lot better as you said
Hmm yes, very specific of them lol. Do you know if Mk.2 is still mixed GaN & GaAs or is full GaN now? I’ve seen some conflicting information on that topic lately
Only Mk2 would be better. Mk0 would be worse in that regard than Mk1. I think.
@Gunjob btw, think this source could be used to get the EFT automatic ground target identification via the radar?:

Probs would need more sources, since that source just talks about how it works, and doesnt explicitly name the EFT/CAPTOR-E, but its a feature thats also mentionned in promotional material for the ECRS:
Pretty sure we have other images for the HMD overlay of said info and the likes as well, but cant find them atm.

funny…
LPI is a common AESA radar capability, dont think tis coming to the game anytime soon.

yeah no it’d be absolutely game-breaking i understand why they dont want that
not even just AESA iirc

True i think Captor M also has LPI capabilities
