Maybe because I don’t use the EFT, although I still play other things than the rafale, but I would be on the opinion that if downsides aren’t implemented (requiring more work), there still needs to be a distinction between ESA and mechanical radars, even if the latter has systems mimicking PESA to an extent.
The same applies for a system that I often use, the R530F radar missile for the Mirage F1. In game, it’s modeled as a simple pulse missile, which is chaffable in one pop. IRL the 530F seeker has chaff discrimination hardware allowing it to act closer to a regular pulse Doppler CW guided missile, but still much more chaffable. The devs have been incapable of modeling this behavior without breaking the missile, and I would not advocate for the devs to slap it the pulse Doppler guidance code, and rather keep it to the current state of being just another easily chaffable missile.
Obviously I would prefer for things to be modeled properly, but gaijin spaghetti code or the devs inability to model things more reliably often times mean it won’t happen.
That is just my personal opinion tho, I understand that not everyone agrees with that.
Also, I beleive P-Track is limited to only updating 6 contacts on the Typhoon, where AESA can do far more. In gamemodes like ASB this probably isnt much of an issue, but could be quite major in a CQB gamemode like ARB.
If I argue for a more realistic implementation or a different solution than your proposal, it doesn’t mean I would favor the current state of things over your proposal. It just means I favor for a more realistic implementation over your proposal, that’s all.
If you argue for A (somewhat accurate implementation) over B (no implementation/current state)
And I argue for C (more realistic implementation) over A (somewhat accurate implementation)
Perhaps not, but given its been 7 months and we still have implementation B. The priority should be on Implementation A given that Implementaiton C will probably take years. if they add it at all and you can always go from A to C in the future.
This is a joke, one might start to think it was on purpose. Not sure of another reason they’d leave it like this for so long now, 7mo… It’s game breaking for the aircraft. Guess it’ll just end up the same as the Chally 2, bug reports with nothing fixed for over 2yrs
It’s a balancing decision it can’t be anything else.
Don’t worry when the Flanker and Rafale guys have finished their bug reports Typhoon will fly like a slightly better Tornado with a poorer Radar.
Unironically. I took the F3 out into an ARB match a few days ago, something I havent done in a while (as Id normally only play it in SB) and had potentially more fun than I do in the Typhoon normally in either gamemode. Even after its massive nerf, the Foxhunter is such a nice radar to use these days. Im at the point where Ive nearly given up fighting for Typhoon to be fixed and instead just want them to fix/finish/buff the Tornados
Please make sure you grab a screenshot (in the future) and save the gamelog/replay. According to the devs, the CAPTOR-M is working perfectly and we need to create another bug report (I think this will be number 3 or 4) for exactly these issues as it was apparently fixed 2 months ago
