Sure, but they didn’t give it two speeds in this instance.
Even ECRS Mk1 with the smaller FoR* is leagues ahead of the other AESA and PESA options I see.

Where did you contact the German MoD, is there a link?
So no 560°/s?

Well that’s kinda the question right now, did they average it because of a misunderstanding or did they just decide not to add the full scan speed? It feels weird to average out the values when there’s just no need to at all.
I say “average”, it’s not really an average. 245 between 190 and 560 is unfortunately very much on the lower end of the values they could have picked. An average would be like 380.

god I cant wait for this radar on live, just did a match on live where the CAPTOR-M was completely failing to locate the last guy, I knew roughly where they were but no matter what I did, radar couldnt find them. So switch to IRST SRC, found them quickly (weren’t notching) and was able to engage and kill them from above.
The number of times CAPTOR-M is just… blind is annoying and thats the bit i cant wait to finally be resolved

So… When is ePaveway II actually ever going to be added?
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/IBqSU1PqbUdK
Seems so wierd/dumb that its been this long and still not added to the Gr7, GR4 and FGR4
Yeah, the model has just been sat there for over a year now. Since the Firebirds dev server in November 2024.
In that time it’s only ever been used as a Paveway IV placeholder, then seemingly banished after being reported as the wrong model.
Yeah, its wierd. if there is some Licensing issue then I dont get why they havent just slapped GBU-48s on everything in the meantime
Is there any way to actually reach this or is the number just for show?
Probably not, not until we start getting things like EGBU-24s and co at least. even then… im not sure
With the weapons in game prolly not. Once we have heavier missiles like meteor and cruise missiles maybe? Dunno to how much that’d actually add up.
actual AWACS status i love this radar so much

Since I haven’t been involved in this discussion since the dev server began, my thoughts may echo what I’ve said before.
The radar, as expected, is magnificent. This seems to be the first time since the Phantoms that a British ТТ radar outperforms others, rather than catches up. Counterattacks are almost elementary, as the target isn’t lost during the defense and is always tracked (though even when the target is in notch, the radar still loses it. I think it should detect targets moving perpendicular to the radar beams at the mid-range pulse rate, but I could be wrong. And the radar can’t yet change its frequency while operating), meaning there’s no need to search for it again during a counterattack.
So, counterattack.
But it doesn’t work at all. At altitudes above 20,000 feet, the Typhoon doesn’t turn at all. It just lifts its nose and… That’s it. Turns at the speed of a Tornado.
But you have to turn for a counterattack because the AIM-120 is a really, really poor missile. They don’t want to turn, they don’t go anywhere. My personal opinion is that the air resistance of all the missiles is incredibly crooked, as if their stabilizers are positioned perpendicular to the airflow, not along it.
The Rafale can sharply turn out of notch and point its nose at the target. But why would it do that if its missiles will turn on their own? It can easily attack from notch, and its missiles will still find the target. By the way, yes, throwing off the MIСA lock is quite a quest. But breaking away from the AIM-120 lock is elementary.
It’s a shame that СAMMs aren’t attached to aircraft; they would have resulted in a MIСA-ER equivalent, since the snail doesn’t want to introduce advanced heat-seeking missiles yet. It seems to me that the ASRAAM/СAMM platform is very successful for an attack at 15-20 km at 90 degrees to the side.
P.S. Since we have either Typhoon T3 or T4, can we “shake” the snail about Stryker 2?
