For an First test it seems pretty good allready, just needs some fine tuning here and there :)
ooooh that explains a lot thanks
Again, shouldn’t happen, being a PD radar against more or less static Chaff
Well, I don’t think I can report the opening angle of the MAW radar antennas without having a primary source on that even if the “logical thought process” would say that a symmetric AESA antenna should have the same scan area in azimuth and elevation…
(Not from a bug report I made, but it describes the way gaijin handles things where they don’t have exact data on: Throw all logical deductions away and go by pessimistic gutfeeling… Or don’t implement the functionality at all)
Yes… That’s what I wrote?
Funnily enough the datamine suggests they’ve actually modelled it as two radars, each with a 180 degree azimuth coverage which shouldn’t even be possible.
What, really? Not three with 120° which positions are clearly known (wing roots + under tail)?
The problem is there’s not even anything to confirm whether it is definitely AESA or not.

(keep in mind, its currently just an test)
It doesn’t really make any difference to how it works in game. Most RWRs are modelled as just two antennas.
I wouldn’t know how to implement a non-AESA radar with a static antenna which is able to scan ±60° in azimuth and ±45° in elevation. Can a PESA steer its beam in azimuth and elevation at the same time without moving the antenna? A mechanical can not AFAIK.
Yes, it’s just a logical deduction that the antennas are AESA, but if it’s impossible to implement otherwise, it has to be so.
Hey guys I haven’t really been following the thread these days, could someone explain what TWS+ consists of, and if it is already implemented in the current DEV server?

Thanks
yes
So I did a bit of research. There are different types of PESA antennas: Planar, Linear and even Frequency dependent beam steering.
Planar: Possible beam steering in two planes (azimuth and elevation) at the cost of a much more complex build and needed hardware (phase shifting units) combined with a bigger size of the whole setup.
Linear: Easy and comparably cheap to build but can only steer the beam in one plane (azimuth or elevation).
Frequency: Steering of the beam by shifting the frequency at the cost of only being able to use fixed frequencies and being extremly subsceptible to jamming.
So the only sensible approach for the MAW antennas being PESA would be the use of a planar antenna which in turn would mean much bigger, heavier, more complex and probably more expensive radar modules than directly using AESA modules which were available at that time.
TWS on the dev server feels back to what its like on the live server, but TWS medium still can barely keep track of the Mig-15s
With FGR4? If so its missing the scan rate buff, only uk_ferranti_blue_vixen, sw_ps_05a and uk_captor_m have the buff, the buff to uk_captor_m_pirate is missing it on the current build.

uk_ferranti_blue_vixen can’t track mig 15 either in test flight first it locks on ghost then onto nothing then tracks after 25 seconds then it struggles with tracking same progress over and over again
