You are not wrong, but you are wrong in your thinking.
Declaration is indeed and target update. However the original declaration indeed takes 6s, in order to, as you yourself said, to make sure the target is not a clutter. Once algorythm is sure that the target is there, it is not going to start the whole procedure again, or at least not in the same way. It will display it as a target, and it will keep checking if it is still there, but its not going to wait 6s to put anoter update to the pilot.
If it is already declared as a target, it will continue to update it, while constantly checking data around it. It is not going to keep it in the dark, as it is already declared as a possible target that passed the inital clutter check, so it will be treated as something that can be dangerous.
This is search volume not FOV, the fov you present is broadly accurate based on photo’s of the FLIR. Except the fov is scanned over a wide area, in search or TWS forms. I don’t get what you want here.
It is quite funny the lengths some players are going to try and nerf the Typhoons further, especially given that in some regards, they are woefully crippled already (things like BOL, Radar performance, A2G, etc)
Don’t know if people had already seem it, but for your viewing pleasure:
Typhoon (BFM) instructor of the Luftwaffe.
The short and sweet is:
F-16 only advantage is being able to lose speed faster than the typhoon, only hope is to get an overshoot.
Eurofighters don’t really do falling leaf like other jets because of its power and it still can manoeuvre even at super slow speed
Gripen-c is for statpadding
While starting in defensive, the eurofighter can get behind an attacking F-15E (presumably with conformal tanks) in one circle before said F-15E can complete one.
I dont know what Gaijin are playing at. I feel for the tech and mods trying to justify these changes.
They have absolutely hamstrung the Typhoon so much so.
German mains will be clamouring for the AMK kit and we will need a Tranche 3/4 with an AESA Radar
To have any hope.
Instead of just having a working Typhoon that all users love and have nothing to complain about!
Have to wait until they add a premium Qatari/Saudi/Turkish, Spanish and a Austrian Typhoon before they decide to fix it.
In case some of you were wondering, the Chinese community has begun to call the Rafale a “6th generation fighter” after the buffs that it has received this update, lol.
I do agree that the Rafale’s performance seems a little suspect… Especially in comparison to the EFT now.
I think the endearment they give towards the Typhoon does not put it in the same class as the F-22. It’s also stated that the F-22 beats the F-15 through the sound barrier (which the Typhoon roughly matches)… Without the afterburner.
