If its either Typhoon manual its not happening, the Italian MOD confirmed there were available illegally. “publicly available” is a nonsense statement when it comes to documents that no one should have in their possession.
This subject has been covered extensively, community managers and mods have made the position clear.
There is no debate here. End of.
I am a convert, used in ground and picked up 3 targets (sadly there is no IFF for it) But being able to hard lock a target that has no idea is pretty strong.
Yesssssssssssssss, I’m glad I turned you around on it.
Yes, I love the irst, it’s so good in sim.its scan rate is absolutely rapid plus no warning. Plus it slaves tgp so you can id target
Next question I have is there a way to control the zoom of a TPOD I think my key binds only allow full zoom or nothing?
Does PIRATE have the ability IRL to use the mode with ground based Radar to detect ground targets?
oof i’ll have to look but theres videos of it
If you mean can it detect ground targets, then yes
You need to remove the thrust control key bind on your mouswheel to use the zoom option on the mouse wheel. This way you can precisely control the Tpod zoom
Thanks everyone, my controls have been due an overhaul for a long time now!
I know that, I just don’t understand why you repeatedly deny and refuse publicly available information, while knowing that the majority of all detailed data on aspects of in-service aircraft is classified. What are we supposed to do? We’ll give you data from a manufacturer, sometimes a brochure or website page, and you’ll call it “Marketing”. We gave you so, so many different sources for the Eurofighter’s thrust, and all we got was “Not installed thrust”. On that point, why does the Eurofighter loose so much more thrust due to channel loss than the Rafale? We don’t have the data, which means you deliberately nerfed the Eurofighter to an unrealistic and unproven degree solely because you wanted to, while buffing the Rafale’s thrust beyond what it should have. The Eurofighter has repeatedly been nerfed into the ground, and you seem to think that all the data we give you just isn’t good enough. So please, tell me; What data you you expect us to get, where do you expect us to get it, and why isn’t clear numbers given by the manufacturer enough for you?
Just so you know. Technical moderators, like many others, are mostly volunteers.
Well then who am I supposed to talk to? Gaijin bug report mods just close reports and after like politicians. They won’t accept what we give them. They list proper sources as
The manuals are classified, and they don’t even listen to Data from the manufacturer, so what do they want us to do?
Rafalе’s changes today were very interesting, taking into account the bug report. I went to see what the bug report was.
I especially liked the parts " where Rafale pilot Lieutenant Le Bars directly states that the Rafale offers “better sustained turn rates than the F16 at low, medium and high levels”." and “I downloaded the HUD video to go through it frame-by-frame (this one has 24 frames/s) to try to accurately measure sustained horizontal turnrates for the Rafale.”
Did I understand correctly - one of the arguments in the proof is the pilot’s assertion, which, as we remember, could well be a marketing lie, and the other proof is generally frame-by-frame measurements on a video that was obviously edited and we are not sure that the video was not slowed down or sped up?
Well, Gaijin’s interpretation of what accounts as credible sources seems to be extremely inconsistent, I’ve experienced it firsthand when helping make reports for some nations.
To be completely fair, Rafale was probably underperforming in terms of turn rate before this change.
You do realize there are additional information that is only visible for bug reporter and mods in that report right?
I have a sneaking suspicion ordinance RCS is much MUCH too high in WT, which would explain why they so reliably decoy radars atm.
When leaving the rail the missile is going about the same speed as the launch aircraft, but will travel along a more direct trajectory, which could make your radar more likely to track it instead of the other radar signature with a lower closure rate and worse aspect ratio. You’d tthink the difference in RCS would make the difference, but seeing as we can reliably pick up things like AMRAAM’s at 20km+ with most radars in-game despite the fact that irl, a larger missile like the HARM can only be picked up by something like a pantsir radar (which should be much higher performance than most airborne radars in use in-game) at ~3km iirc (ill try to find the quote to solidify this claim), I think its possible to deduce missile RCS might be much too high in-game, leading to the frequent decoying of your missiles by adversary missiles.
Its pretty tragic some of the parts of those manuals cant be used.
I mean, you can post them here but only once
/JOKE
Gaijin have never accepted videos.
They are going to have 2 unclassified sources
They will, but they won’t accept them for anything that could be manipulated. like things regarding time. People in the past sped up a video of a Chinese tanks to buff it’s turret rotation time iirc.
But they will accept videos for visual things like HUDs, sooty exhausts, etc or distance things like turning radius
Interviews from a reputable source I think can be used as a secondary source
