Is 560°/s functioning?
They decided on around 250°/s which is a happy medium between the E-Scan speed and Mech speed.

Thought I’d let you spot them ;)
So if they used the 590° figure it could do a full scan in about 2 seconds?
Shouldn’t that only be applied to the zones larger than the E-Scan area? Or is that already the case
Yeah which would be nonsense haha :).
My best top tier jet is the Typhoon and I say we typhoon apes together strong vs the big bad Rafale.
God I hate the Rafale…

In that case I’d rather they remove the mechnscan area entirely and just go 560. Its an AESA radar for crying out loud
Why on earth would you want that? Target updates are already near instant with TWS radars, so a faster scan rate is only useful for initially detecting targets a second or two quicker. As soon as a target is detected it immediately starts receiving instant & continuous position updates while the radar keeps scanning for new targets.

Yeah you don’t want that haha, ESA updates start right after detection, so that would reduce its effectiveness.
useful for initially detecting targets a second or two quicker.←The most important in RB
1-2 seconds that you’d also not detect anything out of volume which the full scan would. So you’d lose more SA.
I’d suggest trying it before making your decisions. I have tried it and the full scan is crazy good.

how would it reduce its effectiveness if updated happennright after detection, but it detects faster due to a higher scan speed.
I’m missing something it seems.
You’d lose ±30° scan area and won’t be able to guide missiles while in a notch anymore
Smaller volume means less area covered if a target isn’t in volume it isnt being detected. So dropping down to E-Scan only volumes reduces SA.
How about, we keep the wide scan with a lower °/s, but on the AESA FoV, we get 560°/s :)?

Back to this question tho @Gunjob. Is that smth that could be reported? The Radar of the Su-30sm also has a variable scan rate depending on the area after all

Each radar can have variable scan time between modes, as each of them is configured separately, there is no single value dictating °/s
What determines °/s is width (width you get is the value *2), bar height, bar count and period.
Yeah fair but that has nothing to do with what you said before.
Anyway I didnt know the AESA’s in game just continually update targets despite the radar keeping up the sweep. I thought it had to keep sweeping like normal, just way faster.
Essentially I didnt think Gaijin had made the AESAs just really fast Mech scan radars but it seems they have done more. That’s good
