That’s not what the arrows mean. IIRC they indicate targets which you are jamming and targets which are trying to jam you.

Another way to give elevation information, alright I don’t think it’s a thing IRL, but is pretty understandable, is taking inspiration from space games, like Elite dangerous

In this case, there’s a bunch of targets below the vehicle

Alternatively data could be fed to the HMD, for better awareness

I mean, why care about the 2D display, when you get it positioned in 3D on the HMD

The RN livery is pretty cool.

If only…

True but I mean more the UI element. The HMD unfortunately serves no purpose in 3rd person.

Dare we even ask where this image came from

the german wikipedia page for the DASS

I really wish that display included the radar contacts in-game…

looks like they fixed IRST working with AMRAAM(?)

They did, doesn’t work on Su-30 either…

Brilliant! the one thing that could make an AMRAAM reliably hit without being notched before you even launch it is gone.

Update: looks like they’ve removed it ENTIRELY which means we’re back to the days where the radar auto-swaps to IRST and bars you from launching AMRAAM. I just spent 15 seconds straight trying to launch in a look-down scenario.

Really? I can’t test this myself since I have the German EFT, but that’s bad then, that bug is way too annoying…

I noticed it about twice in passing engagements but I was too busy evading 3-4 missiles at the same time to make sure. I’ll check in more detail.

What do you mean ? The bug was being able to launch any radar missile from IRST as devs stated it was not intended.

I’m referring to the bug that @Metaltank1990 mentioned, the one that doesn’t allow you to launch a missile at all, because the radar keeps tweaking and switching the lock between IR and PD.

This bug was pretty annoying back when the Euro and Rafale first released.
