Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

It was, then it was broken again when they changed the scan patterns which inadvertently doubled the speed.

Would make zero difference as you’re not using HPRF-VS in TWS right now. As TWS is MPRF.

It does until it doesn’t, assuming we’re talking about just TWS, in track both radars perform very well, but in track AI24 is easily notched with chaff where as a MPRF radar isn’t.
Since the TWS timeout fix it holds tracks perfectly well.

What did the requirements stipulate? I cant imagine it was simply an increase in range as is basicly the case atm ingame?

The requirement was a minimum of 60 degrees a second scan speed, 60nm lookup headon range against a fighter type target going 2000 ft/s. And only a 60+/- degree wide scan area.

Ok now do it with the medium width TWS and compare it to just about any 12.7-14.0 TWS - the Typhoons peforms the worst and the Radar will not hold the lock box over the targets

60°/s or “Slew rates are to be compatible with the tracking requirements for close combat against agile fighters of a similar aerodynamic performance to EFA.”

You just listed PS-05A and Blue Vixen WHICH HAS THE SAME PERFORMANCE. Its literally copy pasted haha what do you mean!.

Though it is very strange that the radar should be capable of tracking and identifying both moving and stationary grounds at the same time tracking air targets using an interleaved mode without any increase in scan rate

We’ll have to see if the latest round of bug fixes sorted it, but at this moment In time. I consider captor-m notably weaker than blue vixen

What kind of requirements are those? Doesnt the blue vixen already fit that?

Okay. You’ve convinced me.

Low enough to allow radars like the APG-65(MSD-2000) to enter the competition.

Just did with PS-05A lost track multiple times.

Blue Vixen fell a bit short in various areas, but yes, it was a very good radar, hence CAPTOR was heavily based on it

unfortunately i dont think there’s any cockpit footage of the radar screen :/

no scan bars :/

Yep it doesn’t display them. If thats disabled on the simulator or if its just not displayed is another question.

i mean maybe you can take a guess with the update rate (approx 1 update per second)

The lines coming from the center of the MFD are interesting. Maybe this is some kind of datalink showing the position and trajectory of the missile on our virtual radar in the game?

Depends if you’re look at the B-Scope or the Combined ESM/Radar/MIDS/IRST display. Because the latter will only tell you that something updated the track but it could be any of the aforementioned sensors.
