63°x40° is the default scan pattern in game. It is not the instantons FoV of the sensor. The FoV of the sensor is the little green square that moves around inside the scan pattern.
There is already a report submitted for PIRATE being able to scan the entire field of regard in MTT mode IRL.
If anything, the FOV of the sensor itself is too low and that report would actually constitute a buff lol. Current AngleHalfSens in the datamine is two degrees and that change would exponentially improve the scan rate.
If I understood you all correctly, then a beam measuring 11x8 should “run” across a 64x40 field?
Correct
OSF has an aspect ratio of 4:3 meaning it should have a better FOV.
PIRATE has an aspect ratio of 4.3 meaning it should have a worse FOV.
Seems possible, expecially considering that, while we do not know what the scan zone of the PIRATE is in that example, the targets are updated roughly once a second
Who would have thought that FOV and GIMBAL are two different things
Someone not hatebonering? Tis what it tis :shrug:
Any idea what the IFOV is in game currently?
The NFOV of the PIRATE thermal camera is moved around the entire field of search.
It shouldn’t be able to simultaneously track multiple targets within the entire field of regard. Only within the field of view.
Buddy, at least cite an actual source and not a bug report lmao
Ask flame for that one.
Yes, Eurofighter uses obsolete technology. Certainly unsurprising.
not like you cited any
Don’t worry I already have the source.
It can update the bearing position of multiple targets within the field of search in MTT mode with a 6-8 second latency. But not accurately continuously track them.
As far as I know it functions like a TWS radar. The very small IFOV is scanned over the field of regard and each time it passes over a target the track for that target is updated.
“6-8 second”
Please provide a source for your numbers.
Yes, but it cannot continuously track the targets whilst searching the emtire field of search. It can only update the bearing of the targets every few seconds.
Nobody said it could continuously track the entire field of search.
