Its a half decent stop-gap alternative to the in-service FnF weapons we should have which is MMW Brimstone 2/3s

Ah thank you very much. I doubt too much difference will be made, but at this point it’s in the game so there’s hope it’ll be fixed eventually (read: after a couple years)
As it stands the SM2 uses its detection range in a 10x10 degree cued scan for its detection range in a 120x9 scan, which should tell you enough about how (un)likely they are to fix it tbh.

Yeah I know and understand.
It’s obvious that many weapons are just added for balancing and not due to realism.
I mean, GBU-54/62 and all dumb bombs aren’t yet/were never used irl by the eurofighter user nations. Or Paveway IV by Germany.
And the twin missile carrier for ir missiles was never introduced by any nation. But it’s nice to have it in-game. Only the amraam-tmc is still fully fictional.
Is that unique to the irbis though?
Even having a feature like that is pretty unique to the irbis.

My bad there, more meant the captor-e/ecrs but the irbis probably has its fair share of inaccuracy too, regardless of whether that ends up being a pro or a con for the Su-30SM2
The chances of captor being buffed now are marginal too tbh, it would require gaijin devs to suddenly stop being convinced every good piece of british kit is a “marketing lie”

Then how are you gimbling the Radar to detect things behind the aircraft?
Still don’t how they can think a radar that due to be in service is slower than older radars it’s just funny
From what I understand, They’ve set the speed based upon AESA + Mechanical respositioning, even for modes that require 0 mechanical repositioning which is dumb. So the speed is correct if you are in the 200 wide mode, but for the other modes, its just daft, and I beleive its well within the game code to allow for scan speed per mode
What he means is that the IRBIS doesn’t have a scan zone that exceeds the ESA limit, so ±60
Now they haven’t. They reverted it because they “don’t believe the E-scan speeds” (!?!?) so we now only have the M-scan speed of 190.

That is what I said.
190 is what I was expecting for the 200 wide mode but we should have 560+ for all the other modes, instead we have the 190

So the Radar now “works” the same way the the new ground based AESAs work like the SLM for example, which only scan electronically in the vertcal but not horizontally (beacuse reasons…), thereby limiting the scanspeed to the max. speed of the mechanical axis? Or did i missunderstand something?

lol (no)
the radar works like any other aerial radar but is limited to its mechanical scan speed. We basically just have a mechanical radar with extra steps (and tws esa).
All the disadvantages of both systems…Thanks Gaijin
±60. It’s largest scan zone is 120 degrees
You have to move the radar scan zone
