That’s just a welcome to WT moment, where minor nations are often neglected, with exception of Sweden.
Also, demanding one nation to pull ahead and take a generational leap isn’t really good for balance.

bit more of the radar completely failing to track straight flying targets…
It also seems to be doing some weird thing where it teleports off target for a fraction of a second, and then snaps back on (or just loses the target entirely)
Also tested the MAW against the test drive ADATS to mixed results. of 5 launches:
3 detected normally on or 1-2 seconds after launch
1 was detected at 2-3km(??)
1 was not detected whatsoever.
Make sure to submit a report so the Devs know it still needs fixing.

Community Bug Reporting System I put a quick one in yesterday, don’t really have the resources to properly record my screen rn and I have no clue why it drifts so this is unfortunately the most I can get

Cool. If everyone can upload client logs to that it will be useful.

I tested it against the adats in test flight and to me it seems inconsistent only when going perpendicular, it may filter the enemy missile out as maybe it doesn’t think it’s going for the ef
relatively minor nitpick but I just realised the gun doesn’t actually align with the gunport.
Yeah, i actually reported that, no response, it’s probably too small of an issue
Reporting and then Gaijin working on such non-issues is the reason why important updates don’t come out nearly as soon as they should.
gaijin never even looked at it
I’m not even talking specifically about that issue. I see far too many people being worked up from some minor cosmetic details that don’t even affect gameplay.
Now imagine this being done on dozens of vehicles in the game, of course you’ll flood the bug reporting system with garbage reports that benefit no one.
Ooookay another “bit” of MAW testing.
First of all, thanks to @WereCat888 for launching the missiles at me. Much appreciated.
TL;DR at the start because TL;DRs at the end suck:
BVR missiles (e.g 120, r27) detected at ~11km
WVR missiles (9M, r73) detected at ~7km
This lines up with the MAW radars being set to 1m^2 at 20km, BVR missiles having RCS of 0.1, and WVR approximately 0.01.
There are two errors in detection:
1 is a lack of closure rate. The MAW will fail to identify missiles if launched sufficiently close in tail aspect. I believe this is reasonable and requires no change.
2 is incorrect prediction: if the missile is launched mid-turn, the MAW seems to believe that it will not hit, as its path does not intersect, and does not provide a warning until the turn is finished.
And a quick footnote before I get to the annoying data, the radar MAW appears to not trigger automatic countermeasures, requiring me to manually countermeasure even if CM slaving to MAW is enabled. Interestingly also, MAW data is not presented in replays, requiring me to write down detection times in chat.
Now to the long bit with all the data.
Launch #1: R-27ET, front aspect. Distance: 9.1km
Missile detected on launch.
Launch #2: R-27ET, side aspect. Distance: 10.9km
Missile detected at 8.5km.
Launch #3: R-27ET, rear aspect. Distance: 6.8km
Missile detected roughly one second after launch.
Launch #4: R-27ET, side/rear aspect. Distance: 9.8km
Missile detected on launch, temporarily lost, and detected again at 7km.
Launch #5: R-27ER, front aspect. Distance: 39.6km
Missile detected at 10.5km.
Launch #6: R-73E, side aspect. Distance: 5.5km
Missile detected on launch.
Launch #7: R-73E, rear aspect. Distance: 1.9km
Missile detected at 1.7km.
Launch #8: R-27ER, side aspect. Distance: 9.4km
Missile detected at 6km.

Missile detected at 9.4km.
Launch #12: AIM-9M, rear aspect. Distance: 4.9km
Missile detected on launch.
Launch #13: AIM-9M, side aspect during evasion. Distance: 4.5km
Missile detected during cessation of evasion at approx. 1.4km.
Launch #14: AIM-120B, front aspect. Distance: 19.9km
Missile detected at 7.4km.
Launch #15: AIM-9M, rear aspect. Distance: 3.2km
Missile performed an unusual loft manoeuvre, and was detected when rotating towards my aircraft at 1.7km.
Launch #16: AIM-9M, rear aspect. Distance: 2.9km
Missile detected at 2.2km.

So does anyone know if there are radar changes to the Captor, which is still utterly useless at range?
There appear to be changes, but they’ve managed to make it worse lol
Ohh good! Just what was needed!

Yeah, feels worse on the Dev than on live, but im just hoping that is an indicator that its being worked on and we’ve only got access to part of the new code

That is a good point. It shows they are atleast working on it.
Good take, that has raised my spirit, thanks

well tbh if they aren’t competent enough to make CAPTOR M good just put CAPTOR E and be done with it
What makes you think they would be able to create an accurate captor E if the M model is making them struggle this hard
