Truly the excuse behind the reasoning is hilarious
Yeah… but reality is it doesn’t impact ESA radars that much, since you go from detection to sub 1 second updates instantly.

Issue is TWS ESA also drops targets hilariously easily (and quickly, I lose jets just because they do a 180 turn, I also mentioned earlier today I lost an F-15 that was flying straight towards me and had to fumble with the radar to reacquire through the 20 useless targets I had on my screen, losing me the launch advantage). Losing 20% of the scan speed absolutely guts the situational awareness advantage we had.
Nothing against you, you’re doing god’s work trying to get gaijin to make the thing accurate, but this is just getting plain ridiculous.

Only when it works tho ;)
I had it multiple times, when i detected the target with TWS, and then I moved the scan zone away to check the ESA. In multiple occasions I had it not update the target (lock was drifting with the last updated by the radar vector), and then the track dissappeared, despite being for example right in front of me.
In the 200° volume I find it hard to be upset about it working as it should in that instance, in the smaller volumes, it completes so quickly it wasn’t noticeable to track performance. Obviously that’s subjective, 20% less is 20% less.
It still feels like flying an AWACS from my testing.

Can’t we argue for the scan rate back in the smaller modes where mechanical motion isn’t necessary?
In the 200 degree volume it’s perfectly okay, im only using that when nowhere near combat and doing general surveillance, but watching the 90x30 take painfully long to update…
Considering everything I’ve seen on the dev server over the last week…
The time has come…
It still won’t help, because 120s fly terribly, but it will be fun.

I explored all options with the available information. I will just do what I’ve always done and try to find further evidence, I’m not going to get upset about something I can’t change at this point in time.

Do me a favor and just let the devs know how completely inept and incompetent they are. Thanks.

Let’s see what happens with su-30’s radar
AESA is obviously inferior to PESA

It received exactly the same nerf as ECRS did…

So… now, we are suppossed to grind for 400,000 RP, spend 2,000,000 SL and then another 500,000 RP and SL in modifications for… what exactly?
Just the new radar was already a small difference… but if it’s now going to be nerfed, then what’s the point of the thing?

It is allready Nerfed, and its still an huge improvement over the CAPTOR-M also, the Spice 250 is an neat extra, as Gunjob allready said, its still feels like an AWACS, you dont like it?
Than feel free to continue using the current EFs…
So sick of this to be honest, it’s the newest and best AESA Radar in the world.
Yet in game IRBIS has been in service since 2014
And it is somehow superior in every single metric. Despite Russian Radar technology being a generation behind.
The AESA on the Su-57 will be able to see through the fkin map

IRBIS being a 4-beam PESA too… compared to an AESA with (more than) 1600 TRMs…
3/4 of a million rp for the fire and forget ordinance we should have had from the start and a radar that isn’t totally blind.
