okay now im even more confused. n011 does indeed have those stats. my translator is changing every time i do another picture, Ill just post the pages
Spoiler
translated
source is a book that gaijin accepts for bug reports (also only source where i’ve seen r-27a/ea data)
okay n011 stats →
Spoiler
-
Air Target Detection
-
Fighter-class target: detected at 160–200 km.
-
Large target (AWACS, tanker, etc.): detected at 300–400 km.
-
Could simultaneously track up to 24 aerial targets.
-
Could engage 8 targets at once.
-
Ground/Sea Target Detection
-
Large destroyer-class surface ship: detected at 300 km.
-
Moving ground target: recognized at ≥60 km.
-
Could detect and classify ground targets in mapping mode.
@Flame2512 you can compare that to the captor
it also has a rearward radar but I dont think gaijin is gonna model that (maybe they might as maws but not actual aircraft) considering that they’re not modeling the backwards radar on that new us bomber
Yeah I don’t think it ever went into widespread service. But it was a pretty old cold war project
Given its 3x the size. Actually looks almost the same, with just a few minor differences.
With CAPTOR-M Able to do other things like SAR and P-Track
yeah. it pretty much matched/slightly exceeded captor m but was around 3 times the weight…
whats sar
Synthetic Aperture Radar.
Basically scanning an area with enough detail to build a 3D image. CAPTOR-M could do 30cm resolution. according to this source
This one might give you some stats for CAPTOR-E. I forgot I had it saved:
okay the n011 also has that (mapping mode) but has nothing in terms of its resolution. priority track… doubt it. and nctr would be the same as the zhuk one (small, medium, large only)
so captor m has more features
n011 has much better scan angles, similar range and better scan rate (i assume 80 degrees per second considering it’s much smaller cousin in war thunder also does 80 degrees per second)
30 cm is quite impressive, irbis on su-35s can only do 1 m and that’s a pesa
certainly n011 on og su-35 is worse then

Though the 70/75° /sec scan rate of the CAPTOR-M in-game (I cant recall what it is off the top of my head) is based off it P-Tracking 6 targets. and thus bouncing around to maintain the track on those 6 targets. So might be on-par when not P-Tracking anything
I think they got 70 degrees because blue vixen also does 70 degrees in game, if i remember right it can actually go to like 300 degrees per second but just doesn’t have the time to actually get info on stuff. i MIGHT be confusing something with that 300 degrees (it is a pretty insane number). I think flame once said it uses that speed to go to priority track then go back to its normal pattern right after
I think a source was found that was the same/similar but was explicitly when P-Track was in use. I remmeber I think DirectSupport Challenging that P-Track would increase scan times further and it would be unfair to implement currently, but then I think it was Flame, pointed out that the current scan rate already included that lag. So if anything, the scan rate is currently too low
It can move the radar pedestal at 333°/s but it cant scan that fast.

yeah i’ll go find flame’s response, I think I was doubting it and he explained it to me once
But yeah, you can see why we want CAPTOR-M at full strength

lmao, light mode superiority
RDY’s range is also lower than RBE2-AA. Here you can actually compare MPRF to MPRF and you end up with 50/75km vs the aforementioned 100/300km.
The RDY did seem to have a larger zone to use for its TWS to attempt locks tho, which was a bit of a headscratcher to me, so I looked into it some more and found out that the green box is not related to the transceiver in use in the mode. It seems to actually be an arbitrary value set by gaijin it seems called “distanceRange”. I don’t think its based on anything specific, as all sorts of radars are all over the place.
You’d have to ask the radar devs why they seemed to have just chosen random numbers for the green box on all radars, cuz I can’t find any rhyme or reason to that.
Well tbf knots, nautical miles, and feet are still used internationally for aviation and naval stuff
Sips extra strong tea
Strong British accent: Sorry about that…
:P
