Sounds like the 1493 is the CAPTOR-M 2.0… welcome to the club, we get random nerfs sometimes if you like those I guess?
I’ll be grabbing the J-11B last this update, I was excited for it at first, but it doesnt seem to bring anything of interest atm, and I’m in no rush to use another terrible and unfinished radar at top tier.
Japan getting stiffed the F-2A cuz “an AESA would be too strong ingame rn” but France getting the Rafale F3R with its AESA is comedy gold ngl.
I fly the British Eurofighter and the radar is hilariously bad, I ended up using PD HDN or HMD instead of TWS because it was so unreliable.
Is there any way to remove the warnings flashing? situational awareness is made really difficult when my LWR and MWS warnings flash instead of just… appearing so I can see them.
I do love the cope posts about PIRATE, when at the IR channel for the F3R’s IRST was removed to make room for the AESA’s extra electronics, only returning on the F4 lmao.
J-11BG would be F-15C (late) counterpart
Best game recently was using Aim9s in IRST mode. All The 120s missed by miles and left me with the 2 9Ms.
Now that’s a comedy. They’ve literally converted it into grippen.
Gripen is nicer to fly it lacks the speed but the Radar seems better.
And Darters can farm cocky Su-27/30 pilots.
At the moment though I’m retiring the Typhoon from BVR.
MAWS is also crap why have a protection system that does nothing…tried to chaff a Chinese IR missile…great
I’ve said it before but it appears gaijin didn’t allow the radar MAW to actually identify incoming missiles. It instead just correlates it with RWR like any other MAW which makes it wrong a lot more than it should be.
They make out it’s some find of “advanced” feature and it offers nothing in game. Only time it ever works is helicopters.
I’'m fed up of systems being added to game that are so poorly modelled and achieve nothing.
MAW update. it appears to not understand SARH and tries to flare it.
There’s a few secondary sources in english, Can’t find anything primary in english though.
Basically the IRST had the IR channel removed in exchange for a better TV sensor (OSF-IT) in the F3O4T standard (one before the F3R standard), IRST returns with the F4.
Tbf might be bad translations, but Ive seen talk about MICA-IR and the new TGP the F3R got being used as IRST around the same time frame, which would be an indication to a kernel of truth.
Basically the reason for me not writing a bug report, I don’t have the french skills to investigate further, nor do I feel the need to get something nerfed for petty reasons, I just honestly found it amusing that we have Rafale-bros trying to own the eurobros with their own goal wide open. Ive got little to no skin in this argument, with the EF radar issues Ive been working on italian ground and french air lmao.
Don’t know if it’s a bug or intentional but losing both your canards seems to make you lose control of your entire aircraft. Rest of the aircraft had some light damage. Both canards got knocked off and it wouldn’t respond to any inputs
It wouldn’t be petty, feel free if you have any informations but as far as i get, each time, f3r + no irst was mentionned in the rafale thread there were explanations that it was false.
Not entirely suprising given the fact they are your primary control surface.
Its like loosing your tail in a conventional layout aircraft
Not true, it was there on F3R standard for both domestic and exports having all the bells and whistles.
Should read the Rafale thread, it’ll answer your questions
The argument is that OSF-IT did not have an IR channel. The image you posted does not confirm or deny that.
The OFS upgrade that removed the IRST was OSF-IT, Oh lookie there
It’s as far as I can tell misspelled, but there lmao.
(Should be Optronique Secteur Frontal / OSF, with the upgrade removing it being called Optronique Secteur Frontal - Improve Technogie).
The easy (and best) solution as far as I’m aware is just to rename the F.3 in game to F.4 (early) as feature set wise it’s only really missing pylons and some weapons.
