Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Loving how we’re getting the steady stream of content creators saying the radar is bad and ‘definitely not finished’ or ‘expecting it to have some work soon’

Then you get what’s been said by Gaijins staff in this thread… “radar is fine lol deal with it… don’t leak those secret documents though!”

How did Сaptor-E come about? I just asked - how does a snail tune the Rafalе radar? Are there really documents for it, but not for the ECR-90?

Yes, there is information pertaining to the RBE2 PESA, itself a minor distinction from the RBE2-AA which swaps the antenna from passive to active ESA. There just simply isn’t much data for the ECR-90 by comparison. The Rafale was more liberally exported and more information is available.

A lot of effort went into modelling the interior engine detail only to have it covered by the generic afterburner texture on reheat.

Would be cool if they could just move the generic texture back slightly behind the 3D detail so we can see the realistic engine model they already made, it would look better.

Out of curiosity, what do we know about the radar/IRST and what is/isn’t correct? PIRATE especially feels far too weak on the search side of things and the target tracking capacity of Captor feels abysmal.

CAPTOR-M

  • Missing critical search modes such as Priority Track (Report) and GMTI/T (ground radar)
  • likely underperforming in a few key ways, such scan rate, power, etc, but sources yet to be found to confirm
  • Target identification via radar
  • A number of bugs to resolve such as ghost contacts.

This is a good over-view of CAPTOR-M :

PIRATE

Likely more on the way for the PIRATE as well.

Reports still in progress for a number of issues

Looks pretty good

You can add these four to it if you wish (though, those concern many Radars/IRSTs and not just Captor-M/Pirate)

If anyone else has any videos or images of ghost targets then please stick them in the comments. Also include a game log file if possible.

Are there any radars in game which are 2 axis only but electronically stabilised in the roll axis?

It seems like most radars are implemented as machanically stabilised on 3 axis, with hard limits on all axis.

Like on the Su-27/33, agree on that, it would look way better.

Problem with IR missiles locking on hud eurofighter
I played a match of sim and every time i lock an ir missile it doesnt show where it locked, it doesnt show on the hud.


This radar is absolutely one of the worst radars i have ever seen as it is right now

What

Pretty sure everything he wrote was pretty self explanatory…

Soooo our plane AGAIN carries less ARH missiles as anyone on BR?
