I’m curious if it’ll have a true full scan pattern. At ±100°, thatd give it a coverage of 40000°², compared to the currwnt largest in-game scan zone of 2205°² on the RBE2-AA.
With the most grounded numbers I could find on scan rate and beamwidth, it would take roughly 23 seconds to complete a scan of this whole area.
I highly doubt it’ll have a true full scan function though, and expect something with significantly less coverage.
Please can Eurocanard have at least something…
which one
A more squished HUD you say?
It is true?
Gaijin has confirmed that all nations will receive AESA radar before the end of the year.
So…
I think it was before Gen 5 unforutnately… But yes. I see no reason why it would be after decemeber
It’s more or less just a smaller ECRS MK.2 it seems. Same primary contractor same gimble limits publicly released (compared to the Hensoldt MK.1 being at ~90 publicly stated iirc). Just lower power, smaller and smaller range.
I still kinda think we could start with CAESAR for a better sense of progression. But it would be a reduced scan zone I’ll admit.

I haven’t been suffering for a whole year with the CAPTOR-M just for them to add a prototype AESA radar like the “CAESAR” and make us suffer for another year, they’d better add a proper model of the CAPTOR-E.
HUD is still squished
I tried contacting Hensoldt about that but they answered that they didnt answer personal requests, only companies -_-
Im pretty sure its real functional gimbal limits are the same as the other ECRS, but if so theyre really shooting us in the foot with the stated numbers
Theres definitly 200° azimuth scans, but nothing showing 200° elevation (which tbf would be massively overkill anyways). As long as its upwards of 30° elevation id be pretty stoked
Any other changes?
I saw none
I don’t think full 200x200 is a thing. It does not offer anything.
Couldn’t find any difference at all.
And I doubt datamines will show any either
I think after the PIRATE thing there’s no need for Gaijin to further nerf the German Typhoon, have we got any pictures of the mechanism for ECRS MK.1? Is it even a swashplate.
Yeah it uses a swashplate just like the other 2 ECRS, its stated to use a lot of components from the ECRS Mk1 or upgraded variants of them iirc.
My theory on the subject, due to how the ECRS Mk0/2 present their scan zones is that the Mk1’s stated 90° is just the full power zone like the Mk0/2, but since Hensoldt refuses to clarify the subject, I expect gaijin just to model it as a copy paste of the Mk0/2, but just missing ±10° of scan area
