(which is still faster than nearly every other esa in the game)

Oh yeah i had a brain fart, ±60 is even on the low end but it’s a PESA so gaijin might have different standard
You have seen the videos and demonstrations of how fast the swash plate moves.
i was talking about irbis there.
Eurofighter is only underperforming in its scan zones below ±70 degrees. Its wide scan zone, ±100, is not underperforming.
Gaijin simply erroneously put that wide scan zone speed for all scan zones instead of only its wide scan zone.
For irbis, its widest scan zone is ±60 degrees. so it doesn’t have to deal with the delay from moving the plate

True, i’m not saying its unplayable or anything (it’s very much playable)
Right, so a brochure and a picture of a KH38MT which hasn’t been proven if its a mockup or real is enough to convince the devs that its real and belongs in the game, but any time its anything Western there’s always some doubt if its real or a ‘clear marketing lie’

funny thing is kh38mt is about as real as SPEAR glide, but only one is in game…

Agreed
You could bring the latest most detailed publicly available information on any western vehicle and the snail couid, at any point, decide that the manufacturer is simply lying. (Despite the huuuuuuuge financial and legal repercussions that would bring IRL).
But you can photoshop a 48*48 pixel jpeg of some Russian vehicle and they’ll add it in about 5 minutes.
I hate that it is this way, but we will have to deal with it yeah.

nice
(i personally prefer the striker 1 symbology tho)
Its probably an indicator for how far off screen the contact is. As you adjust your head towards it, the number of arrows would decrease
red is rwr targets
and yellow ones are friendlies, going of how it is on the striker 1
maybe @Gunjob knows more
We shouldn’t have to deal with it. Ever since they closed the kh38mt thread I stopped spending all money on the game. I will not support this company financially anymore.

I played a “Best of 19” series with a friend. The Typhoon vs. the Su-30SM2. Our skill is more or less equal, so it’s usually the aircraft that makes the difference.
The score was 10-9 in favor of the Typhoon.
At long range, the Typhoon is comfortable, but as soon as the range decreases to about 10 km, the advantage shifts sharply to the Su-30, since the R-77-1 and R-73 can attack at an angle of 90 degrees+, while the AIM-120 and AIM-9M cannot. Plus, it’s a bit harder to turn and escape from the Su-30SM2, since the Su-30SM2 is noticeably more powerful than the Su-30SM. And the plane’s unstable behavior at altitude is incredibly annoying. It’s not even the FM that’s causing the problem, but the instructor. It wobbles much less with full control.
Overall, the situation is much better than I feared. Because at one point I was like, “Oh, screw this patch.” But in any case, in long-range combat, the Typhoon either plays out due to the equal number of missiles (Rafale, J-10С) or the lack of them (Su-30SM/SM2, F-15C GE, F/A-18E).
Unexpectedly, the R-27ER turned out to be a real pain in the ass. Because of the possibility of reconnecting the datalink and resuming tracking, you have to break lock at the last moment and also abruptly turn off the trajectory. And either split-s or Immelmann, because turning in any direction will break the notch and reactivate the lock.
P.S. A question arose: do we currently have top-tier aircraft (14.0+) with pylons that are ONLY suitable for strike weapons? Don’t mention the F-15’s CFT pylons or the central fuselage pylon. Apparently the engineers at Eurofighter GmbH are dump and don’t know that additional air-to-air missiles can be mounted on the pylons. :D 4 “empty” pylons are somehow unreasonable.
the only one I can think of off the top of my head is the inner wing pylon on F-16s, which is cleared for bombs and other ordinance but not missiles
10-9 is wild shouldn’t even be a competition.
Shows we need new missiles.
Typhoon vs Su-30 should be like a F-15 against a Tornado F.3 an easy win 95% of the time.
Is the 250°/s still lost? fixed?
