Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 2)

I dont think the issue is necessarily that its being detected. But that its being reported as a “missile”, not “small” or even maybe as “Chaff” or even just no NCTR at all

Yeah it’s definitely not supposed to be registered as a missile

Yeah… we can add it to the list of things Gaijin seamingly has no interest in actually fixing

If the radar could tell us that, then the chaff would not be doing its job, as you could just filter it out

Which, it probably should be doing if in any PD mode.

Though my logic is that surely modern radars can just detect that the contact isnt moving and just go “hmm… this radar contact is just static… must be chaff”

In a PD mode the radar will not even consider chaff, which it does already

Only in a notch will the PD filter turn off and then Chaff will work

Though is that really a thing IRL or just a War Thunder thing. Id be surprised if modern radars, especially brand new AESAs were that susceptible and couldnt tell the difference between something real and chaff.

that probably just comes in the form of a tightened notch gate mostly

iirc the effectiveness of notching, even without chaff, in game is massively overstated, especially for modern radars anyway
