that would make sense actually
Its like 3 or 4 times the size of CAPTOR-E. Thats the only reason its more powerful. Its huge. It would be better to describe it as a plane attached to a radar, than a radar attached to plane.
So whilst CAPTOR-E is extremely effecient, allowing it to be both small and powerful. the Soviets/Russians just just use raw size and power for barely 1.5-2x the performance
Found out why!!
I have significant reason to believe the MAW doesn’t work at night… somehow.

Also still doesn’t appear to work beyond a certain launch distance as if it were an IR based system.

How’s the turn performance of meteor missile during launch, and at subsonic speeds? there are only 1 set of control surfaces.
Probably not going to be that great at short ranges. Realistically, thats what ASRAAM and IRIS-T are for

wild and baseless guess but maybe like AIM-7M?
And can you fire the meteor missile at near 0m/s velocity? Would the ramjet have sufficient pressurization in order to sustain a burn?
It might have a booster?
But im not sure, thats a Gunjob or Flame question
It does have a booster.

With latest dev update it seems Scan speeds got reverted back?
30x15: 0.734 → 0.975
60x30: 2.939 → 3.9
90x30: 4.409 → 5.85
200x15: 4.899 → 6.5
Mk1 specific:
180x15: 4.409 ->5.85
It has a booster which is integrated in the combustion chamber (called “nozzleless solid-fuel-rocket-engine”), so only after the booster is burned out the combustion chamber is cleared to work AFAIK. The acceleration of the booster is enough to propel it from somwhere short of Mach 1 to Mach 2 in two seconds. In that regard it theoretically could also be ground launched and reach around Mach 1. Most ramjets work best at high Mach numbers, but still work at around Mach 1, some special cases even at below Mach 1 (even though not very efficiently).

On the Bright side, for the Mk.2 the limit of 90 is gone and back to 100°
Radar nerfed?
Hoping this is an error…

We had the best Radar for about 6 hours 🤣

Our radar is now outperformed by the ES-05 (which is smaller and lower power with fewer TRMs, but currently has more range lol) and the N035, which I’m convinced gaijin just believes works off of magic.
We don’t even have a full electronic scan (140x30 where???)
Truly classic. Hoping the stats are still placeholder right now even though they’re probably not.

FYI this is a nerf down to 185~190deg/s putting us BELOW the mech scan rate, let alone the electronic scan rate.

What makes you say that?
It’s using its detection range for a 10x10 degree scan area… for every mode.
