What image? What range? What are you talking about?
Not on my end. Been having plenty (far too many) tracks outside the scan region.
Rather unique feeling to have a radar that’s too good to the extent that getting the right target is a challenge.
Yup. definitely works outside the region.
i am talking about the fov that the radar has. And the image i am talking about is in the message
from what i gather of other discussions the mk.1 is talking about the red point and the mk.2 is talking about the pink one.
Afaik gaijin model the radar area as an arc rather than having diminishing strength like depicted in the diagram.

That’s very unlikely. Maybe around 10s at or above Mach 5, and then residual heat.
Or it’d have a range greater to an Aim120D if it where able to maintain 30s of Mach5+ with less than 10s of burn time
Thats kinda meh when compared to British Captor-E in game, it has roughly 185km, being a smaller radar
I wonder if these values relate to real life ones
Bars for comparison:
Spoiler
surely its normal for a radar with more than double the average output and almost 5 times the peak power to have the same ranges
only thing that changed (for range) is that you can set the max scope scale to 400km instead of 200km

It will go off after a moment
i feel like they weren’t planning to add su30sm2 in this update and they just added it at the last second cus of su30mkm and copy pasted bars radar into the sm2 with increased azimuth/vertical coverage.

What on earth is a non AESA Typhoon supposed to do in this meta?
It’s radar is so terrible. The enemy missiles are already halfway towards you before you have even spotted the first guy on radar making BVR practically impossible unless you play against clueless US mains.
In the dogfight you have to rely on the AIM120B’s which are so far worse than the R77-1 and MICA that it isnt even funny. On top of that there is the AIM9M which is basically useless compared to R73 and Magic 2.
At this moment in time. Not a huge amount. In the future, hopefully following a decompression and likely the introduction of new AAMs for the AESA-Phoon, the M-Scan- Phoon will sit at a nice point below the new top tier where it will provide different gameplay. Kinda like F3 to F3 Late, Gripen A to Gripen C to Gripen E, etc etc.
The current compression though just isnt good for it.
As for the dogfight, same thing we’ve had to deal with for the past year, but with buggier AAMs
Dude trying to get the radar I should have had from the get go, in this meta, is actually doing my head in. I am already terrible at this game with maybe 1 kill per game, but this is just another level.
It was supposed to be a good jet, the typhoon, but it just isnt. The only thing it has is flight performance and the rest is useless
Unfortunately… yeah… Every aspect of it is hamstrung, but that hasnt changed since day 1 of the dev server
I’ve just been flying straight at other people up high and shooting down their missiles with my missiles before sending an AIM-120 at them near point blank head-on. Seems to work quite well.
I’m thinking of loading only C5s going BVR and just pray that I find AFK players. I’m not going to bother with WVR fights I dont think. I’ll just straight up die anyway
I exclusively run C5s, but Im a more defensive player that avoids WVR where possible
I’m more of a “what am I even doing, I literally cannot do anything at this BR” kind of player

Just a matter of finding what works for you
