“the vortex generator and slats perform a purely decorative function”
Did he seriously say that? Bloody hell.
When it comes to this subject I genuinely think he’s lacking the self-awareness or discernment to know what he’s coming out with. In which case my postings about him probably come across as incredibly insensitive; for I did not know he was so afflicted.
He doesn’t care.
Haha, why waste time to pay attention to him? Because it’s rare that Gaijin didn’t make Typhoon into the second Tornado “flying board brick”, so he had to make public opinion to make it worse.
If you made a post about growing grass, he’d post a reply with a customer testimonial from a grass growing manual that somehow proves his point that NATO grass is overperforming.
Just one understanding that he’s spending days on the poor pages, just to make some plane in this game less good, and to make other people angry, makes a good picture of his personality tbh
It’s wider problem than just the flogman.
Majority of people on this forum aren’t objective enough to have constructive discussions about how their plane, tank or ship performs. At the end of the day, it’s a game and games are meant to be fun over being realistic.
Does the Typhoon have some quirks in terms of FM accuracy? Absolutely. Find me a plane that doesn’t.
Radar is still a hate crime finally used it in mixed RB and it couldn’t see the F-15 12km in front of me.
No I launched my AMRAAMs at nothing. Sadly the 1980s F-15 Radar had no problems finding and killing me in TWS.
Is this an intentional balancing tool to lower the power of the Typhoon? Every time I have depended on this Radar it has let me down.
You haven’t heard of the F-15SE?
No.
It’s currently a Blue Vixen radar set with bugs. Gaijin knows it should be better, but do not know by how much due to the lack of valid data available. There are reports out on it but due to holidays, who knows when they will be fixed.
Right now you cannot depend on the Radar unless you are hard locked. In Air BR with a full team you can spam 120s and they will likely find the mark. In one v one scenarios the Radar lets you down
I would honestly as a work around take the Gripens Radar until they figure this crap out.
I don’t follow?
F-15 tech demonstrater, made to be stealthier (hence only detecting it at 12km out)
Ha ha sorry that was wasted on me! Could be a B-52 and the Typhoon Radar would still be trying to lock the ghosts from the aether!
Take the 5 out, and that’s what the CAPTOR-M is seeing
I usually don’t have many issues with DLing AMRAAMs onto their targets as I am not trying to maintain a softlock on one target. If the enemies are retarded, they’ll eat a missile for their troubles.
It’s the ACM locks and acquiring hard locks that I struggle with as well like you said.
For some fucking reason, if it’s a missile or chaff the radar would prefer to lock onto that as opposed to the moving 10 T+ plane being very non mindful towards me.
But aren’t Blue Vixen, PS-05 and Captor the same thing in game right now?
No they have a weird hybrid version of the Blue Vixen as Captur. The Gripen has a 19km TWS scan mode the Typhoon doesn’t
Gripen Radar while not great is far more reliable.
100% had a Su-27 in full tennis court mode and couldn’t lock it, had to use the HMD to hard lock it and by that time the closure rate was so high the missile wouldn’t have hit.
(could have gone for guns but I had a Rafale to my left closing)
why IRST search works so weird by pitch axis?
what do you mean?
