i mean their description even says 100 degrees… so it’s highly unlikely gaijin would mess it up.
if they manage to somehow mess it up i shall just laugh

Misread. It’s poorly laid out.

see, clearly it wasnt close enough for the impact fuse : P
Leonardo UK* but yes, when talking ECRS there are two different lines. Leonardo UK does Mk0/2 and in parallel the Indra/Hensoldt effort with Mk1. I’d assume there is technology sharing going on, but maybe not on the gimbling functions?
The swash plate is kinda a Leonardo only thing it seems (MK0/2 & Raven).

The Mk1 also has a swashplate tho, it can be seen in the video I posted earlier, but heres a gif of it:
So the only 2 explanations I can think of are that:
- ECRS mk1 angles the radar 10deg less on the swashplate, resulting in a 10deg loss in gimbal limits and a higher RCS with no clear reason to do so (seems incredibly stupid)
- ECRS Mk1 stated gimbal limits are for the full power zone, and the zone beyond 90 deg is retained, but at a reduced output as seen on the ECRS Mk0/2 and ES-05 Raven

This seems the most plausible, given the parallel development.

Yeah, that’s what I think as well, but unless someone gets a word or doc from Hensoldt proving that theory, the germans are getting screwed again in WT, cuz they’ll just get a strictly worse version of the radar the UK gets as it stands…
Well… F, I guess.
Bold of you to assume that Gaijin will go trough the trouble of modeling 2 radars for the EF instead of just copy pasting

Gaijin…Best I can do is speeds up scan pattern on Blue Vixen…AESA unlocked.
Meanwhile modelling the maximum gimble limits on IRBIS.
Bold of you to assume gaijin isnt gonna jump at the opportunity to kneecap germany.
They already modelled 2 different EFT’s just for germany not to get PIRATE, and thats way more work to do. So Im not sure why you think its farfetched to think they’d change 2 values in the code just to hurt germany a little.
They already model 2 radars for the EFTs ingame as well btw, the CAPTOR-M with PIRATE for UK/Ita, and the CAPTOR-M for Germany alone.
Hm true. But i think Gaijin loves screwing the UK even more so my money is on them only doing MK1 and slapping it on the UK Typhoon with some comment about 100 degrees being impossible and classic manufacturer propaganda
Paveway 4 integration completed earlier this year
Why would it have a higher rcs?

The audio is perfect. but yeah, Its still a buggy mess. I think its time for bug report #4
