There is some evidence to suggest the current engine output is a peacetime setting that could be increased if needed at the cost of reduced lifetime / increased maintanence.
I dont think there is any connection here though.
The thought of the 120kn EJ200 engines would be so juicy in game though you’d be getting around 54000lbs of thrust if my brain is braining correctly
Though just trawling the web apparently engine upgrades are needed for implementation of ECRS
Now Imagine EJ230s… with 102kn and TVC
Would be a good time
It would be.
We need to find sekrit documents saying the engines got more thrust rn 🤣
Regarding the Brimstones, couldn’t they be modeled as “IR” seekers? JAGMs are modeled as “IR” despite having a SAL/MMW seeker
Oh… The model in game still has the MMW seeker tho from what it looks like
Nvm then
The NIR on JAGM shouldn’t and wouldn’t be able to act as a IR seeker though it’s mainly for target discrimination and couldn’t be used as IR seeker as it lacks the capability to do so. So the fact JAGM is a Mmw/SAL missile like brimstone but has FnF capability is funny. @Gunjob do you think it’s worth brimstone being bug reported to gain FnF capability as gaijin has deemed JAGM is okay with false IR FnF capability
JAGM are SAL+MMW
JAGM-MR have an additional NIR (though im on the fence whether it can be guided using it or if its just an additional navigation source but still mostly uses the MMW)
Yeah, basically this

so is there any word of the scan nerf being reverted or did gaijin just realize they need to make russias shiny new toy the best for a patch

And why can’t it?
Of course, you can try to report it

Could just email lockmart
It’s not happening. The devs “do not believe” an AESA radar scans that fast despite thst being one of the reasons AESAs were developed in the first place. And there are faster scanning AESAs in the game already.
But no, despite GunJobs best efforts, it seems this is yet another “Clear marketing lie” situation.
You will take your CaptorE. You shall know it is one of the single best radars ever developed. And you will simply accept that, in game, the soviet tree somehow has better radars

It’s also stupid how they just copied the working behavior of mechanical radars onto the AESA ones in game. An AESA radar can form multiple beams and scan its whole FoV with different patterns depending on the situation, for example like a chess-board pattern. Like its forming seperate beams every 0,01 seconds to track 40 targets in parallel only with a wider beam opening angle and spread over the FoV. If the radar found a target it narrows the beam down and scans the chess-board-field with a smaller chess-board pattern and so on until maximum precision is reached.
The AESAs in game shouldn’t even have something like a “scan speed” as this kind of “mechanical scan pattern” would only be used if you focus all radar energy into one beam to achieve maximum range and precision.

That would be too complicated to model in game. Current behaviour is good enough but still needs some further development
Seriously, from a programming standpoint implementing something like a chessboard-pattern, with further chessboard-patterns inside these chessboard fields with narrower beam widths where tracks are detected, isn’t that complicated. This just gets repeated until maximum precision is reached for the tracks and then starts from the beginning. It’s more complex than the current “stupid” behavior of course, but I thought this game “prides” itself for it’s realism…
A classic solution, isn’t it?
So, in fact, this is Captor-M with the implementation of this report:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/P8Gb6ip55srm
Now to my question:
If I’m not mistaken, even the Сaptor-M radar can change frequency within a single scanning pass. How could this be implemented? And would it make sense? I can only imagine something like scanning all three frequencies simultaneously, then combining them into a single image and displaying the resulting image on the MFD.

Hey, it’s called Craptor-M
