No, but will be good if/when they are added to all 3 nations

Version 2.53.0.17 has been released, but the issue where TWS ESA loses its target has not yet been resolved…
I hope that a CAPTOR-E that works properly will be deployed soon.
Agreed, every nation should have AMK, I think

The fix was for ESA updates providing velocity updates bouncing high to low repeatedly forcing the radar in TRK MEM.
You’re losing targets in the notch because all ESA radars in game are pretty easy to notch. All of them have the same notch gate.
Stage-2G and Stage-3G having the best notch gates in the game still continues to be the case. Rare Tornado win.

Are ESA radars more, less, or equally easy to notch compared to mech scan radars?
Easier compared to most mech radars. Advantage with ESA radars is the target gets picked back up instantly as it exits a notch. Where as a mech radar will have to typically complete two full sweeps to retrack the target.

The behavior of TWS ESA has been broken ever since Spearhead was implemented. Enemies outside the scan area still disappear, even when not notching.

That I think is only when the radar automatically switches to IR to maintain the lock, but yeah, probably should be prevented from doing that when outside of the IRST FoR
If going to fix this bug, I really hope also fix the issue where AESA-equipped aircraft can’t switch between TRK PD and TRK while in STT.
Yeah… Radars need a generous amount of work
the radar and IRST are coded as a single sensor, im pretty sure thats the norm, so they probably share gimbal limits?
Probably just a result of the auto PRF handling.

They do not share them, the limits are separate, however I can see a possible issue. Radar, IRST and HMD have separate track limits, so it’s possible it is not properly switching to the IRST track limits.

“HDN” radar
look inside
hardest to notch???
Yeah HPRF provides extremely strong signal to the target making it harder to notch once the target is in CW
MBC notch filter is turned off in lookup which helps the most. But does mean you can be chaffed pretty easily.
