Germans screwing the pooch again? -_-
Sounds like it :D
Though I do wonder what the differences between Mk1 and Mk2 will actually mean in game beyond just the name
Idk if enough is known about them to make any real difference ingame?
I also wouldnt be suprised if gaijin somehow gave them even worse search angles than the CAPTOR-M somehow…
The did a similar thing with the Su-30SMs Bars radar, where it somehow has one kf the single worst search areas of all radars in-game despite being newer than the V004, and a bug report being submitted (and shot down) to buff its search area…
Gunjob/Flame more than likely could break it down better. But from a quick search (and its not easy because its never clear whether its talking about CAPTOR-E vs CAPTOR-M or CAPTOR-E Mk1 vs Mk2. )
But maybe extra range, more power and maybe can track more targets?
But does seem like a core of the differences are more to do with EW stuff though. I could see them being virtually identical in game
Of course, It will be Blue Vixen with a faster scan rate. We’ll need to wait 3 to 6 months for it to even get AESA code added

((so the UK and italy still having a better EFT then germany I see)))
Looks like it
lol not like it really matter since the things that would make the FGR4 better then their EFT arent really working in game
Is it just me, or is it eazyer in game to HMD lock an missile then getting an lock of an actuall plane…
(With the EF)
yeah ive noticed that with the gripen C as well
I think Gaijins recent radar changes have just put a lot of emphasis on velocity. So the radars just detect things that are moving fastest first
Tbf, I gave up trying to understand what they changed xD
When was the last EF change?
I cant remember…
It’s funny cause now locking enemy missiles and shooting them down has become a good line of defense haha. I mistakenly shoot down 1 or 2 per match
(and I also think it gives RP)
EF specific change. Feb?
But general radar change that would have affected the EF was about 3 to 4 weeks ago?
I know. Fought an Su30 in a 1v1 in a GSB match, nothing I could do against it. He just shot down every AMRAAM
In ASB it’s a chore, because I have to fire off one AMRAAM from one angle and then try and fire off a second frok a different angle whilst defending in a third to make as complicated a picture as possible. If I fired 1 straight, it would be shot down
I cant remember how much of this is true but I think someone was looking into a EFT with TVC right? I assume there hasnt really been any prototypes built
iirc only the engine was build

last I heard about it, they were looking into the functionality of TVC on the EJ200 engines so that would make sense
there are a few videos of the nozzle
but this one is somewhat outdated as the guy is speaking about a naval EF

I doubt it will ever be built (as in the full airframe with the TVC engines), even just a prototype. Looks like AMK is the way they plan to go to improve the FM further than then with aircraft like Tempest in development, there isnt really much incentive to develop such expensive upgrades.
Would be a hilarious event vehicle though
