The behavior of TWS ESA has been broken ever since Spearhead was implemented. Enemies outside the scan area still disappear, even when not notching.

That I think is only when the radar automatically switches to IR to maintain the lock, but yeah, probably should be prevented from doing that when outside of the IRST FoR
If going to fix this bug, I really hope also fix the issue where AESA-equipped aircraft can’t switch between TRK PD and TRK while in STT.
Yeah… Radars need a generous amount of work
the radar and IRST are coded as a single sensor, im pretty sure thats the norm, so they probably share gimbal limits?
Probably just a result of the auto PRF handling.

They do not share them, the limits are separate, however I can see a possible issue. Radar, IRST and HMD have separate track limits, so it’s possible it is not properly switching to the IRST track limits.

“HDN” radar
look inside
hardest to notch???
Yeah HPRF provides extremely strong signal to the target making it harder to notch once the target is in CW
MBC notch filter is turned off in lookup which helps the most. But does mean you can be chaffed pretty easily.

Nice, now welcome to stock grind pain. Definetly a lot harder than the last one was, at least until you get the early few essentials.
With all the AESAs, its impossible to be sneaky
nope im broke
will stock grind soon though
Ah damn, time to play some NRB :P
(At least thats how I power grind SLs)
So it will sustain M5+ for what minimum 30 seconds? That’s pretty cool.
Does anyone have any data on the R-27ER missile we need to bug report this to get it’s performance reduced to real world levels.
Within 8km it’s a free kill no chance of chaffing/notching it and unless you are MPing you just die.
No other SARHM in the game as Chaff resistance like it. Clearly it is not modelled realistically when we consider how poor it’s real world performances have been. The design and architecture of the seeker and the quality of Soviet electronics for the time period.
I should not be able to defeat an IRIS-T SLM easier than I can a late 80s SARHM.
There is no way that’s true, that would mean it travels 50km in that time
Well a few tens is at least 20 seconds. Assuming EFT’s max launch alt of 55,000 ft and no loft even with that you go like 30km. Which by the way exceeds MBDA’s baseline 25km+ figure.
First of all, bring this to the r-27 thread lol, this is the eurofighter thread.
Second of all, r-27er basically matches its range charts (actually slightly underperforms but it’s close enough, @DirectSupport could attest to that).
Its seekerhead in terms of notch resistance is actually underperforming, as predecessors of missiles like it, for example the r-40r, has a much lower notch gate than it for some reason (±7m/s irl!) but it’s not unique in this underperformance (Skyflash for example should be ±3 knots if I remember right)
It’s datalink is overperforming, as irl it’s not able to resume datalink once interrupted for more than 3 seconds, but it’s a convention for datalink reconnect to be a thing for fox 1 datalink sarh missiles (see aim7p)
