Yeah, but none of those will beat the Typhoon in a gunfight, and therefore need better radars
(I have literally had someone tell me this before :D )

If I read things correctly, this is for the funding of the fully GaN ECRS Mk2 radar, which will start production for the British EFTs in 2028 (so probably not going to enter service until 2030). Is there any plans for the British EFT to receive AESA radars before that ?
I believe export EFTs such as in the Middle East are already receiving AESA as well ?
Currently Britain only plans to operate ECRS Mk 2. They’ve decided the substantial performance increase of the ECRS Mk.2 compared to the other ECRS radars (and pretty much any comparable AESA radar) is worth waiting for. Particularly as CAPTOR-M is still a very solid radar.

There will be airframes with the Radar equipped now, for testing. The funding is now secured to mass produce the system and in time upgrade some of the existing Typhoon fleet.
For War thunder purposes it could be added right now.
Kuwaiti Typhoons have the ECRS-MK 0
Report on the effective angle of TWS_ESA
Will this unrealistic specification be allowed? I wonder how they plan to deal with it when models like ECRS-MK0, MK2, and ES-05 appear.
We say it everytime new technology is added it has to be done right or the game has to change and it never does. We should by now have ECM/EW systems at top tier.
Captor E materials state the Radar can effectively sit in the perfect notch while maintaining perfect DL.
In typical Gaijin fashion IRBIS will probably be the first Radar able to do this.
But for a Typhoon Player I just want a Radar that can find and track targets.

Is this not the TWS+ mode that saves some of the tracking data?
No. For example, similar to ECRS, the SU-30’s radar uses mechanical tilt, but this is not saved data but is constantly being updated.

Real life radar would move the swivel, so that the radar can look in at those targets.
There is a report on that behaviour internally.

I will keep waiting for it forever
Offest hud? Or the chunky font they have used
The offset HUD xD

@Gunjob Any chance of getting the 2x TWS GMTI modes named differently to each other. Like calling one “TWS SEA” and the other “TWS GMTI”
Kinda confusing when trying to cycle through the modes as to which mode you are actually in and thats before you are trying to do it in the middle of a battle
Good for when you need to see what’s in front of you ha ha

and the Tpod still doesnt slave to the radar, so that is pretty worthless addition for anyone playing SB
And why am I not surprised that the F-2 TGP can focus on a radar target right from the release, while the Typhoon’s BUILT-IN camera still can’t do this? Although the current state of the HUD is quite an answer.

Typhoon has truly been cast aside by the devs, but hey a new missile…That is better than what we have?
