Marketing lie. This is not possible with the Typhoon. It’s a different story with the Rafale…
Same with the KH38, no proof that it has weapon system compatibility but the SU30 has rail compatibility so it gets it no questions asked
Again, power isn’t the issue with the Flanker radars.
It’s the processing capabilities. It’s the gubbins behind the radar that process the information where the Soviets lagged behind, particularly towards the latter Cold War where Western Electronics were not easy for them to access. Less an issue now, but a Russian fighter still tends towards the ‘flood the sky with radar waves and hope that something gets picked out’ approach - the trade-off being that everyone with an RWR knows where you are in the sky and what aircraft you are in from twice the distance that you can see them.
Looking at you, ZASLON.
A way to illustrate it is like thermals. Thermal sights of Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3 have equal sized lenses in many cases, the amount of external light allowed into the unit is the same, often similar energy requirements, etc. However the progressively better computing power enables the sensor to ‘see’ better, to discriminate changes more sharply and generally work better. Signal Processing is what makes the latest Thermals scarily good - rather than pure size or power.
The same applies (in different ways) to radars. It is one area where the Russians were (and still are) not quite on a par with the Western equivalents - even by the admissions of Russian sources themselves.
I feel like we could use Martlet for this role instead but i’m guessing APKWS is much cheaper?
Whats average/peak power for captor m?
Martlet is not suitable for fast jets
id love to see the a2a APKWS implemented to mop up those AI planes without wasting any decent missiles
Wait until we get actually correct striker 1 in game first. The HMD lacks half its functionality currently
any update regarding the squished HUD?
HUGE
Finally IFF
Finally, Eurofighter is actually looking good for Sim now. We are getting camera slaving to radar, (hopefully) a working UV filter, fixed MFD screens and now IFF for the HMD. All we need now is the HUD gunsight to exist and PIRATE MFD display.
I’ve sort of given up on seeing that fixed to be honest.
Dev is open again, can someone send screens of the changes? Can’t check them myself :(
That’s peak, very nice
