Devs are back now are we getting a Radar fix? Just died to a MiG 29 because my Radar is locking nothing but air and my IR missiles are trying to find the heat signature of nothing because the Radar is telling them there is something there when there isn’t.
Beyond frustrating
I mean you were tracking him just fine here;
My advice would’ve actually been to switch to PIRATE for the whole engagement, you’ve only got sidewinders onboard, why make your aircraft noisy with emissions when you could’ve just snuck up on him with PIRATE.
But overall the issue here was the target switching to a missile which is a problem on all radars.
This issue seems very prevalent on Typhoon locking things, that the Radar shouldn’t.
They have added code to all Radars to allow ground based radars to lock missiles and bombs (Stormer never used to be able to do that, now it can since the last 2 updates) and the side effect is this mess.
I should have used PIRATE
Shouldn’t radars have speed gating to prevent this?
I can’t say I have experienced this very often on other aircraft, even ones with weaker radars since they updated this feature back when the MIG-23MLD was top dog.
Typically I’d expect the speed and RCS of the missile to be associated with a new track, it shouldn’t really be transferring the track that easily. But all radars do it right now so its clearly a wider problem with how TWS manages its tracks.
I don’t know if you’ve tried it since the buff but its very good now, got a key on my Stream Deck+ to switch between radar and IRST and I’ve found detection for close in engagements like that to be nothing short of fantastic. I switch to PIRATE, almost instantly go to STT, once in STT hit your Switch Radar/IRST key again and you will be in MPRF STT. Its so quick the only slow part is pressing the buttons.
I haven’t touched it since the jet went live it was always very buggy, will spend some time using it
It scans like its on meth now. Its so rapid.
Are you talking about the radar or IRST?
do you have any evidence for it, I can add it to my VWS report
Ok in test flight that’s quite naughty, having a hard lock that you can transfer to PD mode at any time for a 120 shot is pretty good.
Salivating at how good ASRAAM will be
IR to PD transmission works bad sometimes, idk why
Btw, the problem with ghosts is still there in it’s full degeneracy. I played quite a few matches in the last 3 days and well… It’s still locking stuff that doesn’t exist in places where it’s impossible for anyone or anything to be at. GRB experience. I’m basically forced to use a worse version of IRST all the time (my eyes). + HMD lock is too hungry for the biggest RCS. Was trying to lock F-16 in a dogfight with teammate’s su-34 and it kept jumping on him all the time…
The IRST (PIRATE).
Its very nice yeah? haha.
Nah, I would consider it quite slow. Could have been FASTER
Bro I’m actually gonna crash out; I have access to information that could answer a lot of these questions. Clear, considerate data, with graphs and evidence. The problem is that gaijin won’t accept nato restricted documents. They refuse to make changes to aircraft without data, and won’t accept publicly available information, but also won’t accept 18 year old data due to nato restrictions. So I would love to know, gaijin; what do you want us to get you?
Bro, I can’t even give them the opening cycle for the intake cowl without committing a crime, what does gaijin want us to give them?
Something that is not marketing lies
