Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 2)

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.

There is. Its a much slower scan rate.

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)

It doesn’t mean I’m arguing for B > A

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.

Yes, and that’s why it hasn’t come yet. Because it requires quite a bit of work.

As the most recent CAPTOR-M’s TWS doesnt work bug report just got closed because it was apparently “fixed”

Its time to start collating Gamelogs, screenshots and clips of the radar being broken.

So if anyone has clips from the past 2 or so months. Please share them.

I guess its probably time I dusted off my HOTAS and try it too. But I dont know how bothered I can be to play SB right now

Also, anyone else found the MAWS doesnt work at hte moment?

Sorry buddy no energy for that.
Typhoon is pure pain at every level. New sams make Brimstones harder to use and Radar in air RB makes it a chore.

Rafale got hit hard with the nerf…

1 degree off it’s turning performance…

A quick comparison of the top tier/best mechanical radars, it simply can’t be that the Eurofighter’s radar performs the worst by far.

Yep, i thought i was slowly getting insane but neither the MAWS nor the DASS seems to be working reliably for me

FInally. might actually make them usable weapons again.

But still need our Spear-3s

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

Hey remember SMIN and the dev team all play Typhoon and think the Radar is fine.

It’s funny as the missile knew where it was supposed to go and instead of going Pitbull/Active it flew to the false Radar signature.

Captor M is the basis for how all Radars will act when Gaijin adds ECCM/Jamming
