Where is GMTI radar mode

Does something like a Su-27 still count as medium or is it already large?

Isn’t that a “reversal of the burden of proof”? The antennas have ±60° in azimuth, so it should be obvious for them to have ±60° in elevation too. But for some reason they only have ±45° so there should be evidence for them to have only that and not vice versa.

Good question, didn’t test that.

I understand what you mean, but the only way to affect change is via reports.

Does it somewhere in cockpit says the name of the plane?

MAWS is great but until we receive a better 3rd person RWR indicator it just becomes a cluttered mess.
Now threats from 10km out are going to be screaming at your MAWS and RWR.

How good is the MAWS system in game are missiles defeated by the system or does it just sympathetically drop chaff as that MICA EM slams into you?
How does it work vs IR SAMS?

How is the Radar on the dev have they finally fixed it?
Did the IRST system recieve a buff?

Just asking as they made the decision to only give them ±45°. So either they have a source for that, that they don’t want to share or they’re just claiming that and do the “proof me wrong” stance. A thing I already hate in current culture of discussion, especially in cases where the claim contradicts logical thinking.

Only target size right now, same for other NCTR’s I tested. SU-30SM uses “Jet” in place of Medium. But it is only providing size right now.

Didnt it also says the plane names or was this on the RWR?

That has been changed now;
MIG-15 is ID’d as “Jet”

Are there plans to have accurate RCS on aircraft? Seems like a great oversight that the Su-27/Su-30 should have a similiar RCS as an F-16

Selected target size is displayed at the bottom with its label “A” in this instance.

Ahh, allright
Sad :(
Was an realy cool Feature

What does the 104 and 7.7 stand for? Angle and range?

Heading is the first figure for sure, unable to work out the other. Isn’t range as it doesn’t change as the targets merge.

Should be less of a hazzle to implement NCTI as you should be able to just tag a radar contact the moment your radar has a direct line of sight to the turbine blades (area has to be set for each type of plane differently because of the varying air inlets).
And what about SAR modes of some radars which create a high resolution SAR image of a target to compare it to planes (and vehicles when in ground mode) in its database? :D
