Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 2)

Let me reword.

Basically the current consensus is that for a 200 degree scan, the repositioner moves horizontally, and the E-scan effectively does almost nothing as the radar scans in horizontal bars, like any other radar.

What the question was is why would it do this, when the E-scan can scan vertically as well during this motion (due to its significantly faster scan rate) effectively eliminating several or all of the bars, and covering a much larger area.

Oh, do you remember Stinger situation? Same thing 100%

But the Shilka and many other radars already have such high scan rates (vertically)

Even the BUK TELAR can do a full 60x60 scan at 80km in less than a second

Good question, no idea haha. I’m sure there is some complex reason why its done one way or another but not a radar engineer.

Surely we can use this to say we should have a wider E-scan mode… right?


Don’t think much explanation is needed to show this isn’t 90 degrees.

Is it just me, or are contact really faint when using the sector PPI?

I’ve reported that.

Ah sweet, glad im not going crazy. Was debating switching back to it, but I just couldnt see anything :D

Yeah its more useful for WFoR radars than I found it on the usual 140° radars.

Just need to figure out the missile ranging on the sector PPI, its not as clean as it is on the B-Scope

But I wish we could toggle between Sector PPI and B-Scope via a keybind

its the rings on the PPI, one for rMax and one for NEZ;

Just generally poor all over.
This update should be one of joy, AJAX (Finally) massive issues with it, missing key armour and vlow out pannels
Typhoon with an AESA re adjusted to stop Russian complaints and make IRBIS the bestest Radar ever.

Like Gaijin for once could you just add these systems as they should be?

massive issues with Ajax is accurate to real life, isnt it?

Yeah, but if a lot is going on, and I could just see a single band, its not always clear whether its the rMax or NEZ. Sure, context will probably say, but I kinda wish the B-Scope ranging UI was somewhere on the PPI display or if the 2 bands had differences, like the NEZ had a notch or something in it, so that you could tell it apart from the rMax. Especially notable with the ongoing C5 issue having NEZ larger than rMax still

Not in terms of armour and blow out pannels.
We are allowing the BMP-T to have laser accurate 30mms

fyi 2a42 has the exact same accuracy as bushmaster, GI30 etc in the files lol

That’s outrageous

One day they’ll remember about the BATTLE RATING feature that allows them to make vehicles historically accurate and then adjust their matchmaker to balance it, instead of the other way around.

Sounds like a Marketing lie
