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

Ah, i see

What does LWS do actually?

It warns you from Laser if they point at you

Ahh, LASER Warning System then. Thanks!

Yep, thats why its called LWS xD

Me in the F2000 (AESA) With CAPTOR-E vs the scrubs in the F2000 with CAPTOR-M

Laser Warner as said, in game currently only warns you of:

  • laser points and rangefinders
  • beam riding guidance (it can smell ADATS launches the moment they click)

Irl however it would also warn you of most IRST tracks as the majority of IRST (particularly russian ones) use a laser rangefinder to get range data.

I wonder what the scan regions will be like. Hopefully we have an ESA-only one that can be rotated and then a combined scan that does the full 200x200

Edit: I mean covers the full 200x200, the actual scan will probably be smaller. Unfortunately.

it’s easy to check once dev updates i think…

That’s what I imagine will be the case. The AESA itself should be able to scan a massive range with the swash plate only needed for say 150 to 200 degrees. Depends on what the Devs want to do since pretty much no one knows for sure (that doesnt want to go to a court martial)

… because the datamine will have the new files before anyone can log in, so you can check the Captor-E parameters ahead of time

200x45 would be a nice scan region

“Nice” is a little mild for what would be easily the best scan in game by far lol

No way that’s only the AESA plate doing a full 200 sweep though right?

Idk. I’m not too knowledgeable about the radar

It’s not, but the radar is established via promotional material to be capable of a full 200 degree scan by combining mechanical rotation with the aesa
