I have said nothing on this and do not have information enough to discuss, from the VERY limited knowledge i have it at first glance sounds like a definition issue of the word “supercruise”. but honestly, that wasn’t what the discussion was about.
If ity takes information from more than one sensor, compiles it in a separate processor before presentation to the pilot that is the literal definition of sensor fusion. Heck, its enough to have the information from a ground radar sent through datalink and compared to what the aircrafts radar sees to make a more accurate pinpoint of a target to be able to call it sensor fusion.

I think you are confusing things here, data fusion is when you take several datapoints from the same sensor to make a more coherent average (think like a tank firing three rounds at a target and measuring an average “center” of aim or firing hundreds of shots to get a more accurate “center” of aim). sensor fusion is when you do exactly the same but with two different sensors. the sensors can even be of the same type (like shooting at a target with several different barrels to get an average of the precision of the gun). The two can even be combined for even better accuracy of average of all data inputs.

comes with an proper set up CAPTOR-M, try again in summer

On one hand, I think its bizarre they stil arent in-game, seeing as theyre more historically accurate, and are in the range class of the Kh-38M’s, and still almost less than half that of the AASM and AGM-130, all three of which are F&F and significantly more powerful munitions in-game.

On the other, CAS really needs to be reeled in. playing ground forces at top tier is just genuinely unfun at this point. You’re just roleplaying a target/victim 90% of the time.

As much as the lack of balance bugs me, I can take solace in the fact that there are atleast SOME nations that have some more reasonable ground attack ordinances in-game I guess.

may come with GBU-53 for US in summer now that i think of it. hopefully sooner though, i like a2g weapons

march/februrary ideally

Nah, FnF Spear-3s when?

Those damn convoys in air sim need to die. Its time for vengeance

Ah yes, 28 70km+ range F&F PGM’s.

I genuinely have no clue why gaijin would be insane enough to even bother modelling that in-game. Its overkill for sim air, never mind any mixed battle modes.

So when will pirate be able to guide missiles through datalink?

I havent gotten the brimstones yet, close to it tho and might do some mixed convoy work with them soon (or atleast thats the plan)

they are glide bombs though. and we need them desperately, why have strike eagle if its missing a big chunk of the strike part.

i am fine with brimstone 2 ASAP, why not add GBU-53 with it?

If that is the case for you, we can agree to disagree. The reason I was tagged in this thread is because I was discussing the Rafale and stated the Eurofighter did not have sensor fusion in that thread. In the context of the Rafale, the Eurofighter’s systems simply do not compare.

I don’t think that this pertains the same to aircraft as a single system may have multiple sensors already. Using more than one sensor in the same system of the same type is not sensor fusion, it is data fusion.

In any case, @Gunjob followed up with this unnamed source;

This says nothing about being able to commit offensive capabilities towards these tracks. Seems to imply that it attempts to associate emissions with radar tracks but that is again something that Mirage 2000 and other legacy aircraft already do. They just didn’t start calling it sensor fusion until they wanted to compare themselves to a superior system such as the Rafale’s.

thing is itll only be more reasonable once the other CAS ordinance gets reeled in as you said. Brimstones are fun atleast and need you to play with more awareness than some other CAS planes at around the same BRs

The devs already answered this.

In the Typhoon it might be more viable, but in the Tornado Gr4 it was a real tragedy. You are simply to vulnerable and it took too long to swing round for another pass it make it worthwhile to do. 1 maybe 2 per pass just didnt seem worth it. Better to run PW4s and drop them on static targets or I’ve had pretty good success in taking out the carrier with the PW4s.
