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
I thought we agreed on Goldfish-M?

*Goldfish-M
The frequency has nothing to do with the beam-width, beam-agility and multi-beam-capability though?
Goldfish is forgetting fast, but at least it has eyes to see. I’d call AIM-7 a goldfish.

I have no idea. That’s why it’s a “question.” A point arose where three of my half-knowledges intersect:
- The high-frequency pulse has a long range and is excellent at “seeing” approaching targets, but it’s terrible at detecting targets with low or negative closing velocities. The mid-frequency pulse has a shorter range, but it has a very small closing velocity blind spot and can track and track targets with negative closing velocities. And I don’t remember what the low-frequency pulse does.
- I know that the Captor-M can change its frequency right in the middle of the scan line if it needs to.
- I know that our different pulse frequencies are strictly separated by radar operating modes.
The real question was how to implement Captor’s ability to use any frequency at any time. The simplest answer seemed to me to be the simultaneous operation of all three modes, fusion of their results, and displaying the processed information on the MFD. In my opinion, this compensates for the weaknesses of the HPRF, MPRF and LPRF.
when the update is live, can someone let me know if they do any last minute radar changes like they did on the j10c? im conking out
its radar got nerfed (or fixed) it has an azimuth coverage of ±70* instead of ±85*
Here, a ° for you to grab :)

Yup, saw that. Not quite what I intended by that statement but hey at least our radar is the best at something lol
