I have no idea, but probably
sometimes,yes
You can set a key binding to turn off maws actovated CMor use the multi function menu.
You still get the MAWS warning, but at least it doesn’t dump all your countermeasures.
Even that though is problematic in a gamemode like Sim where you cant just see if the warning is because of a nearby flare or if you actually have to defend. And if your are in a furball and people are just actively dropping flares. Then the MAWS warning becomes totally useless for warning you of an actual missile because you have no idea which is which.
Flare rejection is desperately needed

If RWR says MSL+ maw is going crazy = Pray/Dodge/Notch whatever…
If RWR is quit, but MAW goes Nuts = Chill, turn off MAW for an moment

What if it’s fox-2?

They definitely need to either switch it off for the Eurofighter, or allow for slaving of AMRAAMs to the IRST, as the bug is generally putting me off playing Air RB as it’s a literal gamble whether I’ll be able to even use my weapons or not
Already do that, but doesnt stop the 17+ alarams going off constantly cuz of flares -_-

Apologies, I should have clarified.
STT is not a true STT as the radar screen will still update with TWS info from IRST and the radar screen will still be updated with threats identified from RWR/DASS as well as the Link-16 datalink.
This is obviously a game limitation.
I have not seen ACQ modes featured on in service aircraft… I cannot say if these are still present on the tranche 2+
What I do know is that the pilot will use VTAS controlls the majority of the time.
I don’t have a list of the direct voice inputs the pilot can use, but as of tranche 1 this was reported to include 26 critical functions.
My understanding is that most of the radar controls and functions are completed using this system in conjunction with the HMS.
Right yeah sensor fusion will still be available in STT but the radar is still doing STT. I’m with you.

0.50 just dropped and i tested the EFT’s radar.
It tracks much better and HMD locks significantly faster, havent countered any ghost targets and radar was performing quite solid.
Seems like it feels good and consistent.
@Gunjob is there any bug report about scanning speed? It still feels quite slow compare to its real counterpart despite getting buffed.

I don’t think the scan speed was adjusted to 70degree/s that report is still open iirc.

Fox-2 is for IR-missiles, so No?
You don’t need a radar lock to fire an IR-missile.
Or when a teammate accidently shoots you, you also don’t get radar warnings.
Or they could also lock you with IRST which doesn’t give you a warning either.
Thats good the hear, at least report is still active and hopefully it goes live pretty soon.
When its adjusted it will become one of the best radar in this game i believe.

I apologize, but before I answer I would like to clarify something. The game limitation implies that you cannot track target in a hard lock and detect new targets at same time?
Edit:
That’s why I’m asking - we already have aircraft that can lock onto a target and continue to operate in search mode. These are aircraft with separate search radar and track radar. For example, the A32, MiG-19 or Javelin. If I understood correctly what you wanted to convey, then similar mechanics can be used on the Typhoon
The game limitation is that only one sensor can be used for detection or tracking at a time, resulting in only a single source of information being active at any point.
The Typhoons computer processes and combines data from multiple sources and displays it in a concise way to the pilot.
The so called “sensor fusion” that others have been discussing here and on the Rafael topic are essentially what it is but that term is more of a marketing buzzword that has been adopted for how the front systemend is presented to the user.
The back end processes however are unique for each application and are specifically tuned for each unique sub system that contributes to it.
The search and track radar on the Javelin, and A32 is a single sensor that has been specifically programmed to function that way.

Thats not true tho?
Stuff like Pantsir for example use seperate search and track radars and are in different bands, which is why most jets can ID the search radar but not the track radar. So clearly multiple sensors can be used in conjunction, its just not done on jets.

I’m a little confused. Is this the same case as Javelin or not? The original description sounded like “the same” but now I’m not sure.
