Awesome. Thanks for the follow up.
We would really appreciate a stat card update.
Nice, I was under the assumption HPRF is preferred because its for better range and terminal guidance accuracy over CW since it allows the signal to have break or “repetitions” able to better determine target range, closure etc.
Anyway, appreciate the sparrow update, and ACM increase on the F-16C. Its not op and done well. It does drop signal at range if not used correctly, so it’s not braindead easy which I like.
Will that lay a foundation for the PESA and AESA radars coming to the game?
No, HPRF waveform in general does not provide better range. It depends more on radiation pattern, transmission power e.t.c.
Range tracking (if initial range is known) and gating is possible with HPRF, but it doesn’t help too much because of high range ambiguity.
You’re right, or field strength for another term.
Understood. Thanks.
Other than that, seems good so far. I do appreciate the better look down performance on the F-15A as well. I forgot to mention that.
Looking forward to any more radar/missile updates as more capability are added.
the radar on Mig-29SMT is PESA if I am not mistaken’
Nope, it is a mechanical one, ZHUK-F is the PESA one
It’s sloted aray
We have ground PESAs on Pantsir and Tor, and I think Anemone on Super Etendard supposed to be PESA (?).
Yes, and ASRAD-R has a 3D AESA
Is there someone who could please explain the F15 HUD for me?
If I look at this picture, there are some things I don’t understand in the highlighted red square. I can see a bar which goes from (I assume) from 0 to 10. I believe this to be Miles in steps of 2.5. So the HUD would provide me with the distance of the target, which would be 12.8 miles. However, the range doesn’t change on the scale. There is also a 40 which I thought was the closure speed in kts. But 8 m/s would be 15.6 kts, so I don’t understand where this 40 comes from.
All based on this picutre
40 is the ranging scale in nautical miles
F-15 in Russia
It’s F-15E right? I am surprised. i thought that it cannot maneuver and flies like Tornado.
why would you think that lol? it’s an F-15 with even more powerful engines
Because it’s even heavier and has those CFTs increasing drag
While it’s an agile aircraft for what it does it’s not really known for it’s maneuverability. More or less every pilots who flies an E model Eagle (or against it) says so.
it is a normally a PESA (since standard 3, which in game is a mix between -3 and -4), have been made on a similar basis than RDY, to replace the previous mechanical Agave (but both can be mounted on, when one is in maintenance)
It’s heavier than a C-Eagle and less agile, but it’s still a hell of a lot more manuverable than people give it credit for. The -229 engines in particular more than make up for any weight difference between the two types.
For this particular airshow, the wing pylons are completely removed, which decreases the drag cause by the CFTs significantly, and I can almost guarantee the CFTs were locked out prior to refuel so its running less fuel weight than a full upped C model as well.
Nice pitch up rate and video, but short.
He expalins pretty much everything.
F-15 should be 12.7 BR in RB/SB.
Remove 9m, remove 7m. 11.7-12.0 with 9J and 7f.
