wow, thats pretty substantial. so 100km on the IR and 130 for the EM?
I don’t think gaijin is remotely trustworthy in regards to the EFT after the “We believe this is a clear manufacturing lie” debacle

Only the ‘NG’ Next generation models, base MICA-IR is between 50-70 depending of whether gaijin lets people fire it without an IR lock (LOAL)
still looking for those sources, btw
Report as not yet been made when looking at the report site. I guess DS will share when it is reported.
Radar spreadsheet with the absolute minimum we can expect from the CAPTOR-E when added to the game compared to most other top tier radars currently in-game:
Minimum assumption being:
- CAPTOR-E keeps the exact same scan zones and beamwidth as the CAPTOR-M
- CAPTOR-E takes at most 1/8th the time CAPTOR-M takes to complete a scan
- CAPTOR-E has the same update rate as the RBE2-AA (worst in class among airborne ESA’s in-game)
If anyone has any info that could allow me to put other incoming radars into the spreadsheet, let me know and we might be able to see what they’ll look like as well.

How many nations even have captor E tho IRL. Arent the eurofighter nations a bit late with how slow they have been to develop an Aesa 4.5th gen? Maybe a side question but truly interesting because it might be an issue in game wise since many nations cant get those eurofighter varaints?
Develop? No. Deploy? Yes.
3 nations in-game could get some variant of CAPTOR-E/ECRS, unless gaijin starts adding subtrees with EFT’s to other nations. Bit of a tricky situation though cuz i think only 1 in-game nation (Germany) has already started deploying EFT’s with ECRS in actual service, while other nations are planning on doing so in the near future.

Why would they do this
ECRS Mk0 has been received i believe by the Qataris but is a worse aesa and not to even a European nation tho. So that will need to go to either UK or Italy. Germany can possibly get it in time along with Warthunders time schedule.
ECRS Mk1 is for Germany IIRC but still haven’t been received
ECRS Mk2 is still in trials and haven’t finished up. which is why i said developing, as in the fact it seems like it will take much longer for the British to receive their Mk variant.

AESA has been available since 2008. That isnt late. Just hasnt been deployed yet and its the best on the market

Like I said, this is a minimum assumption, it SHOULD be vastly superior, but I wanted to stay with something reasonable. I have a more realistic model for it, but I hid it in the spreadsheet i shared cuz i based it off a better model of the CAPTOR-M, which is also info I cant share on the forums.
Also, gaijin modelled the CAPTOR-M as inferior to its predecessor for a while scan zone-wise, so its actually not too farfetched an assumption that they’d just take the lazy way out and just copy paste the CAPTOR-M’s current scan zones into the CAPTOR-E…

With how late it is everyone hope so lol

Why would UK and Italy get the Mk0 and not Mk2?
There is a Typhoon FGR4 fitted with a MK2 right here right now
Gatekeeping that upgrade because its only been trialed, is unfair. Especially given the multiple other “trialed” equipment on other nations top tiers.
LOL on what basis is it the best available on market with how late the production started in 2019. Dassualt actually sold jets with aesa radars before them. Straight up Propaganda

Because no one has actually recieved an MK2 in service? Gee I wonder why
Eurofighter were available with an option for Caesar or whatever it’s called since the 2000s, just no one wanted it

Just based off size most likely. But it’s still smaller than say the su-57e aesa.
And that has range of at least 200km
Then remove the HMD from the Rafale becaue it never used it in service
God damn Rafale mains are desperate to deny the EFT AESA radar as they know their monopoly would crumble
