Let me quickly double check what mode I usually use 1 sec
what is the difference between tranche 3 & 4 eft ? and which one do we have in game ?
30x8 is my default for most situations. Seems to work quite well, fast enough to keep track of stuff, but with half decent scan volume for finding stuff
15x13 I use when I really need to keep track of something specific
60x4 if ive fired off a volley of AMRAAM at targets close to each other and want to track them all or want an early game picture of what is going on
140x4 rarely use, but handy for locating the last few guys at the end of a match

Tranche kinda becomes irrelevant after T1 and just denotes more when it was built, less what it has.
For example. Britain is upgrading T2s to ECRS Mk2.
Flame shared this before though, quite a decent right up of the various upgrades

Where did you get the Idea that Mk.1 is smaller then RBE2-AA? The Raf radar has about ~800 GaAs TRMs vs the 1.500+ GaN TRMs (which are physically larger) of the Mk.1. Does anyone know how many TRMs the Mk.2 has btw?
Sir, it will make you happier once dev gets updated for these.

Too bad you can’t use aim120 with gmtii anymore
in game we got tranche 2 right now lol
not even tranche 3 or 4
tranche 4 is only supposed to be dilerved soonish
now that is nice. Ive not really bothered with the GMTI yet, but with E-Scan… Very nice. Just need multi-mode now
I really don’t think it’s smaller or anything, the Captor E Mk0 is said to have 1626 TRMs, idk if it was hand counted (there’s pictures of it with modules exposed) or calculated because the antenna and SMTR GaAs TRM module it uses physical sizes are know.
Mk 1 i think should have the same amount but they switched to Wideband GaN TRM so the performance would only get better even if count is reduced.
Another piece for the 1600 number is Hensoldt says it needs more than 250000 TRMs to fulfill Captor E Mk1 needs and there’s 150 on order and that comes out to 1666 TRMs per radar, maybe subtract a bit for spares or whatnot but you get the point.

Ohh okay so, currently, no functional difference in game other than 40degrees fewer scan (only in the mech scan area). Thanks for the good info
Does anybody have in game footage of Captor E in sensor view?
Yeah, for now, there is minimal in-game difference, but I think ECM/EW could be on the way sooner rather than later
Looks about how you’d expect it to look really. 70x30 raster scan nothing special
IIRC all Leonardo have said is “a lot”

Maybe so! In that moment Mk0 and 2 could be a lot better as you said
Hmm yes, very specific of them lol. Do you know if Mk.2 is still mixed GaN & GaAs or is full GaN now? I’ve seen some conflicting information on that topic lately
