Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

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.

Spoiler


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

It’s been changed into a proper radar MAWS

Thanks, i wonder if they’ll explore adding its ability to detect planes, and apparently do IFF and NCTR on them

Basicly can identify target with radar
