Theres been quite a few times where ive had to abort and go fully defensive in a BVR fight I EASILY should have had the advantage in simply due to the fact the radar would not display the target at all. I typically keep it in medium scan as well since its the scan mode with the largest vertical area, so I figured itd give me the best chance to actually find the target I can see with my eyes, but now I’m not so sure considering your video.

Yep. I know exactly what you mean and I have a wardrobe (or 2) full of those T-Shirts.
I have thus far just assumed that maybe I was making a mistake and not pointing my radar into the right bit of space. I generally sit at a far higher altitude in the Typhoon than I normally do and im still learning to operate the radar in 3 dimension.( In the Tornado F3, sitting at 50ft was my norm and rarely did I climb.) but now Im left wondering whether I made no mistakes at all and the radar simply did not see the target. I see a LOT of server replays in my future going forward and I think we need to start documenting this behavour

Thats what I’m thinking on my end as well, granted Im at the point where the Typhoon is such a travesty to fly in VR, I dont really wanna touch it anymore until they start actually fixing stuff.
The fact I dread playing the plane is not exactly confidence inspiring…

I am much the same. Ive been enjoying playing other games to WT at the moment anyway (ground events always burn me out) but when I do fancy some war thunder. Im just put off by the issues in the Typhoon (and the less than stellar environment for it in top tier ASB) and isntead favour other aircraft. I find myself drawn towards the Mirage F1C-200 to continue grinding out the French TT. Aircraft like the Rafale or even the M2Ks just look like more fun to play at the moment than the Typhoon

On the Gripen this scope is implemented “conditionally”. It does not react to the change in the aircraft altitude and always shows the altitude as 5k feet.
On the Rafale this scope is implemented better, but it is still “crooked” and does not work quite correctly. There are some problems with the scale and if you climb higher, then the targets near the ground will still not be displayed on this scope.
Let them first rework this scope in principle, and then add it.
Tbf gaijin has a very hard time adding these radars and their correct huds. The gripens problems also dont make any sense considering the C’s use a radar they never used. Would be very nice if gaijin took a bit to fix radars and their cockpit hud elements so they actually work correctly for SIM.
I’ll be glad if the result turns out to be:
Gripen - hooray, something new and maybe even useful. Cool.
Rafale - wow, it even works. Well… a little.
Typhoon - hmm. Okay, it works correctly.
But I doubt it somehow :D
Kind of odd they dont have it working properly. The radar B-scopes and PPI react just fine, so they clearly have reactive MFD’s working fine, so its odd they dont have sensor profile views working right. Not like it should require a ton fo work, scale should change with current altitude and radar scope range, and the beam should work much like PPI’s azimuth slewing, except in elevation instead.
I’ll be glad if the Gripen C’s ever get their actual C modifications. They are so bad in the current Meta i cant even find a reason to play them for fun.
Eventually ill get back to grinding my 2 EFT’s on Germany and Britain but im sticking to more simple planes for now. Dont have the fingers to use my radar keybinds in a actual match while playing defensive lol.
Looking forward to the EFT since it seems only the IRST and radar are bugged. So between the 3 eurocanards the one gaijin spent the most time on. (Now i pray the radar is in a better state when i unlock it lol.)
This is my solution to this problem
All radar controls under your thumb.
2 - target acquisition
3 - target selection
4 - missile activation
5 - АСМ
6 - operating mode selection (pulse, doppler, TWS, HMD)
8 - radar sector change
9 - radar range
12 - radar on/off

Unfortunately i have a broken thumb and index finger on my left hand and on my right its my ring finger. Xbox has some controllers for people with limited functions and I’ve got one thats pretty nice. Too bad my control set up took me like 2 hours to make a new list of binds. This event came at the worst time lol.
Have did you manage to break 3 fingers on two different hands?
You’ve just discovered the “ghost track” haha. The radar is mechanically tracking the target but the original track file generated at detection isn’t getting updated.
After 8 seconds when TWS “timeOut” has expired typically it will instantly create the new track file for the target it is mechanically tracking. As that’s the first target it sees. Funny enough if you have a single target your scan pattern and you get a “ghost track” you can actually just fire, it will function exactly the same as if it was tracking normally. You just lose the information from the track file, but the radar and missile are getting the right information, just not displayed to you correctly.

didnt the eurofighter have gbu24’s earlier or im dumb?
it can carry two of those so it should be a thing in-game
So there isnt any info about if it is coming or not?
Correct, maybe we get it one day, maybe not…
We dont know what the Devs are planing for it
