okay
good but not enough if radar and FM don’t fix

Wait SMIN only said Eurofighters…
Not Typhoon…sneaky Gaijin 😆

After seeing @DirectSupport’s post for the Rafale. Checked the Typhoon. Might be a little change. I think my graphical settings are the same in both at least
(and you can see the diferences in the HMD deadzones which is a really nice change )
Though im more annoyed to notice that with the cockpit lights enabled, the instruments have back lighting. Come on devs, just give us back that backlighting. We dont care it wouldnt be dynamic

rip still empty screen below the HUD. I also did like the plane overview thingy showing the missiles, flare/chaff count and gun rounds, despite how useless it was
That looks cursed
judging by the angle you are approaching from and the direction of the plane when you do lock it it looks to me like its notching you.
also in the comparison video showing the harrier you are in narrow scan and you were not in narrow scan in the ef.
it also seems like bolth it and the rafale lose track of targets at the same angles
So, are you saying that the CAPTOR-M, isnt an all-aspect radar capable to detecting things that arent flying straight towards it?
Its not exactly like the target is hiding in ground clutter and needs PD to be detected.
There were 2 clips from the EFT. the second was in narrow scan and i spent ages starring straight at the target
this dose not mean it is immune to notching, especially in tws. i would also bet like 9 trillion dollars if you switch to acm it can lock it from that angle
ACM mode cannot be used past 19km. It cannot be used to IFF targets and it cannot be used to find targets that you dont know are there.
Soo… If the answer is just “always use ACM/HMD to lock targets” then something is broken.
It is not TWS HDN though like it is in the Tornado F3.
it is TWS. TWS should be all-aspect. Kinda worthless if it cant detect something flying at any angle other than straight at you. Especially as we dont have an SRC mode

and? it is common knowledge that there are angles for every single radar in the game where tws/src/hmd will struggle to lock from that acm will be able to lock no problem
well i hate to break it to you but it isnt, and again not just for captor, for every radar. i have no clue if this is realistic or not but thats the way it is in game. there are just some angles where tws is not going to be able to detect people at and thats just how it is. if you think it is that big of issue you can try to convince gaijin to completely rebuild they way they model radars and will honestly support you in that.
Right, of course ACM will lock on, its basically an ultra narrow blast of radar. But I have no issue in the Sea Harrier FA2 or even the Sea Harrier FRS1 detect an aircraft flying at right angles to me. Its basically on the Typhoon that struggles with this
Its not an issue with the Foxhunter or Blue Vixen… So…
Heck, its not even an issue with the Blue Fox’s SCR radar. It doesnt suddenly stop working beecause the target is at 90° to the radar.
Typhoon doesnt have SRC mode. It has 3x PD modes and TWS. If the radar cannot be used if the target is flying parralel to you, then something is fundementally busted with the radar. Anyway. It’s NOT detected things flying straight towards me plenty of times
and I dont know why you want to see the Typhoon artificially nerfed so much?
Roughly matching your test in the Rafale. I.e track the target in TWS throughout its turn, including through the “notch”.
Didnt loose track once:
so?
Re-tested Foxhunter with the same test. It lost it briefly, but is TWS HDN and not TWS
yes, as long as i didnt switch to a different target mid way through the captor would also not lose lock there where as the rafale would… i guess this means that the captor is actually the best radar in the game no? you are all welcome i have fixed the eurofighter.
So if there is more than 1 target. you cant use the radar?
no, what it means is that the radar may lose track of targets (at certain angles (in certain radar modes)) if you switch off from said target and then try to another switch back to said target (if the target remains at the same angle)(and only if you are attempting to use tws to reacquire the target).
