Search radar only at work
Search and track radar at work (track is the line in the middle)
Track radar tracking, search still searching

So, yea, some kind of sensor fusion should be possible. The problem here might be IRST and Radar code, but i dunno. One radar is doing only one thing, while the other is doing only the other thing, so that might also be a thing.
Since the Eurofighter is capable of using the radar and IRST at the same time IRL, should the auto-tracking from radar to IRST, where the radar turns off, still exist?
Radar is still not great it has improved, but nowhere near where we perceive it to be. If it was British only programme I could accept some cost cutting measures.
Wing rip, when you are low and fast your wings rip far too frequently. With the control system in Typhoon there is no way the aircraft would give the pilot the necessary G to destroy the airframe.
We need a system modelled to replicate this in game.
Yeah I’ve just played a couple of games, before the latest patch I was running a 3 to 1 KD - Literally not had an amraam kill in 4 games, the radar feels worse lmao
Hard to tell. There are no free documents saying if it should switch like that or no. Both sensors work at the same time, so maybe? I guess in real plane it will make no difference, as sensors are fused, so it will change nothing pilot side.
Amraams feel like they have had a massive nerf low down.
They dominate at high altitudes when launched from a fast jet
Down low they really suffer and are easily defeated
R-77 and MICA EM are far stronger in the low altitude >10km engagements
I assume you mean when the radar loses track and it switches to IRST, as currently when you turn the radar off the irst also is turned off.
Currently the game just doesn’t have enough detail in how these systems are modeled to accurately represent them IRL.
That’s both having multiple sensors acting independently while also working together to produce a single track file for each target that the offensive computer can use to engage.
Since getting the eurofighter there have been situations where I have just been able to simply out manuver the amraam with a high-G Roll+Turn like you would against an AIM-7 or AIM-54 much to the surprise of the enemy engaging me.
Let’s be honest with ourselves. We and the snail have a problem that can’t be solved with bug reports and minor fixes. The only way to do this is to create a new system. I’ll call it “multiradar” for now.
Its whole point will be… and here we are again… sensor fusion. In my head, Typhoon has 3 scanning/collecting information instruments right now. Radar, IRST and RWR. They are all capable of indicating the direction to the target, elevation/inclination to the target and the approximate distance to it. All 3 sensors must collect data and dump it into a “box” from which the “multiradar” system will collect data, analyze it, filter out duplication and display it on a universal display.
I see several problems/difficulties here:
Firstly, the code for the new system needs to be written. Despite the fact that the snail gave us the Typhoon, I still believe in its bias and secondary attitude towards the minor US/USSR pair (it is enough to look at the state of the Typhoon and Gripen systems (although it did an excellent job on the Gripen MFD)) and a system of this level would give a very serious advantage over the aircraft of these two branches.
Secondly, the snail may consider that not only will this advantage be, but it will also be imbalanced.
Thirdly, I do not believe that we will be able to prove to the snail from open sources that everything works like this, and that it works at all.
Fourthly - how to distinguish an enemy from an ally according to RWR or IRST data? On the other hand, the Typhoon MFD has 3 types of icons, green for allies, red for the enemy and yellow, the affiliation of which is not determined … So you can simply display unidentified contacts on the display “as is” and let the player decide whether to attack the target or try to figure out its allegiances.
The military LOVE acronyms - in fact I have it on good authority that significant quantities of funding is dedicated to making them up - then what is left over is used to buy stuff that goes bang, etc.
I could offer examples FYI of industry SOP, but that would IIRC be in contravention of the OFA and possibly DORA if it ever makes a return. We definitely wouldn’t want any PAs working out a future ORBAT in a LCZ; not to mention how we intend to employ RoEs and EoF in the FEBA (massively the case in FIBUA scenarios where CAS and FACs might not be available to provide prompt ToT in the AOR to our MI, MBTs and WOMBATs). INT obviously being a problem in the modern MDBS. Like durr.
I think I figured it out, they’re pointing downwards slightly, that probably was the reason why they were missing so bad. But I thought they can pull more…
