Since the last patch, I keep having this bug where the FGR.4’s CAPTOR-M Radar stops detecting any targets at all in TWS about mode 5 minutes after the game starts…
Anyone else with the same issue?
Nah, don’t see why it would need it either. Ramjet sort of negates needing that when it has energy in spades :P
Another thing ive noticed this major. Render distances in Tpods/FLIRs seem way lower. Things are only rendering around 10-15km.
This is because D-AMRAAM and PL-12A seekers essentially ignore all chaff regardless of whether the target is notching, unless they are at extremely close range. The combination of the Meteor equipped with this seeker and the CAPTOR-E radar provides an overwhelming advantage, so I truly hope that this seeker (or perhaps its guidance profile) is applied to the Meteor as well. If the Meteor were to have the same seeker as the AIM-120C-5 or any other ARH missile, it would simply be an unremarkable missile.
They don’t ignore the chaff. The missile itself still receives target data from the aircraft radar, plus with 0 IOG drift it can still reacquire without losing as much energy as before. Of course, a AIM-120D/PL-12A missile on its own will be the same as any other if it’s sent without maintaining lock.
Meteor doesn’t have GNSS, so it’ll perform more or less the same as most missiles. Lastly, the Meteor has a seeker based on the seeker in the MICA EM.
Gotta love fact checking :)

Don’t get why people would want absolute hypothetical radars instead of something that is at least plausible/based on reality

i think its more so that its a 1 to 1 C&P between the 10C and 15T that pisses people off(tho thats up to gajin, so its kinda over); but he deffo didnt do his research before posting that lol

Well, we don’t know if Meteor does or doesn’t have GNSS. It’s not claimed either way afaik, we just don’t have sources currently if it doesn’t have GNSS. But I could see GNSS having less importance placed on it especially since GNSS is susceptible to jamming and two-way datalink could still be useful in a EW heavy environment. If EW is ever introduced into the game, they should make it affect GNSS missiles as well.
As cagey/vague as Raytheon is with their AIM-120… I think it’s a pretty good bet the Meteor doesn’t have it if MBDA also didn’t hop on the “hype train” to use additional buzz words to attract buyers.
Raytheon themselves said AIM-120D has it → they received it ingame.
AVIC said PL-12AE has it → they received it ingame.
Pretty high odds either way that Meteor doesn’t/won’t have GNSS.
I could see the upgraded version having it, though. We’ll have to wait and see.

Where is the source for this information? A friend of mine says that the C-8 has GNSS and two-way data link capabilities, and he used Janes as his source.
A secondary source just like Janes. If you search the image i posted on Google you can find it. And Janes is not 100% right as they have been wrong before. Though I don’t know c-8 well so your friend could be right.
Meteor has longer range than both has the largest NEZ of any missile. And you think the seeker is downgraded from a 120D or PL-12?
We know in game Meteor will be crap as we know any missile that cannot pull high G is.
Its possible that the newer Aim-120D may have a better seeker purely on the grounds of being newer, though Europe has always been ahead of the curse when it comes to developing radars, so there is a good chance its not far off.
If you mean regarding GNSS, then there is advantages to not having GNSS, such as the guidance being immune to jamming. IOG is heavily exaggerated in game and with DL, let alone 2way DL that kind of drift should be non-existant.
Hey guys, I haven’t seen it discussed frequently, but what is the deal with complete instability of any EFT when you pull hard Gs at low speeds? And stability without the limiter is just utter trash. It wouldn’t bother me much because well, ok, high Gs airframe strain etc, plausable. But I played F-18 recently… I’m able to recover this thing from any kind of situations with one hand while picking my nose. It’s just so much smoother with and without the limiter, so what’s the deal with that? Is it just an instructor problem? If it is then why it’s taking so long to fix?
Because Gaijin doesn’t know how to model delta canards properly.

I think the Typhoon’s Instructor needs an overhaul, it feels very Squirrely in a number of regimes, but feels totally fine when in ASB on full controls
You gotta thank the rudder for that one buddy, it’s very wonky and it makes you drift left n right all the time.
If you use mouse aim it gets even worse.
Yea, not that long ago It just did a 180 roll on me out of nowhere.
