Yeah but this source says that the EF has non datalink IFF capability trough the AMIDS, same capability as rafale, as from what i gathered the antennas around the rafale can scan and iff/do nctr, same as the maws of the EF can apparently do too.

Well-well-well. Look who pointed their finger at the sky and guessed right down to the smallest detail.
MAW IRL: Spots a threat at a distance sufficient to react, creates an evasive trajectory and guides the pilot along it, indicating the time between turns.
MAW in game: ((sees flare)) ALERT, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!! ((spams countermeasures))
And here is another one of my guesses that has been confirmed. So, the Typhoon can give target designation via radar, IRST and RWR. As I thought. It’s nice to be smart from time to time, even if I couldn’t find the information (I didn’t look outside sources with English text)
Thanks for the interesting source

But i don’t know if this is enough information to enact changes like no datalink iff, there’s really not a lot of sources about the AMIDS system out there, especially that state it can also do IFF/NCTR.
But also it says here that the IFF automatically adresses contacts which i take means that if the AMIDS detects a plane the IFF interrogates it.
Edit: Extra 1 and 2 to dig trough to maybe find some extra sources.

For aircraft?
Should the MAW AESA radars be able to detect aircraft??
Yes? Why would it not be? For example radar on one of the tank APS systems can detect planes from 22km. It detects everything and classifies it. It’s not like it magically ignores everything but missiles.

Huh. Should that not be a feature then?
In game?
Yeah. three free AESAs seems like a huge performance boost especially considering how agonising CAPTOR is right now.
First, we do not have radar MAW in game, all are IR
Second, MAW in game are forced to ignore planes, so they detect only things like missiles, flares(not quite historical on later ones) etc.

Sure but what’s stopping gaijin from modelling them as separate sensors?
Also, somewhat more critically, what’s stopping them from adding radar MAW at this point? The GR.7s been in game long enough and they still haven’t fixed the MAW going off on its own countermeasures in a hover.
PS
this should not take so long

I have no idea. They will add them when they want to.
Even IR MAWS likely shouldnt be going off for flares irl. Certainly not modern imaging ones. Gaijins MAWS implementation is just very very lazy at the moment.

Weird, Captor-M got the slightly reduced radar scan period, while the Captor-M with Pirate did not.
Definitely not the only thing
Does eurofighter has NCTR IRL?
I think if it does - it can be reported, Su-30 got smth close to NCTR.
Every other plane that has NCTR already has a report open and accepted, including the EF.
What’s it got?
Do you know what the Eurofighter MAW is called in the Datamine files? i want to check what changed because smin said maw is fixed.
DASS
is the name, and you can feel the changes allready in the testdrive
