Omg, the TSK’s radar is so bad… slow and can’t scan any thing above you, is it really this bad?

The problem of scanning things above might be fixed with my angle bug report having gone through, but irl it does scan at about 10 rotations per minute so that is fairly accurate, the scan speed. Granted irl it also has a 110 degree directional search/track mode as well so you can kind of negate that, but finding primary sources on that hasn’t been fruitful. I have made a bug report on the IR missiles lacking UTDC tho.

Well, then either

  • don’t have the launchers close together
  • spawn only one launcher at a time
  • launch missiles when operating the launchers, not the radar unit

The IR missiles still lack in range tho. While the radar missiles can easily launch against a target 8 kms way, the IR ones can’t. Tho Gaijin said they will implement some limited LOAL capabilites for some of the SAMs, it’s not yet done it seems.

Oh damn, somehow I replied to someone else. xd Sorry about that.

Maybe you can also report the issues about the radar itself? The radar is too bad to use, it just lost track oftenly, the radar on the type 87 spaa is way more better than it 😅

Unless there’s primary source or actually reliable/noteworthy secondary sources stating something about it, then I’ll just be hit with a “Provide sources pls”

The TWS struggles a bit because it rotates so slowly, among a few more things. What pains me the most is the ass vertical coverage of only 20 degrees. I could get past that if I was able to tilt the radar dish, but I can’t, not at the moment at least.

Just hoping my report about the tilt angle of the radar actually does something to help with that. Comparing it to every other radar that’s added it has a mind bogglingly bad search elevation angle. Here’s hoping.

Doesn’t matter how fast you fire the apcr in the belts still perform worse than ap 50 cals

  • 75 mm Type 1 APHE shell — projectile mass has been increased from 6.56 kg to 6.605 kg. Explosive mass has been increased from 53 g to 65 g. (Report ).

With RDX filler TNTe goes 85g → 104g
Is this anywhere enough to notice?

Yeah, several of the new AA systems have radars that cover more than 70 degrees vertically, even the SLAMRAAM radar has about 50 degrees coverage, and it’s tilted as well.

It’s definitely gonna make them more reliable at getting far away crew, like taking out the hull crew on T-34/Pz IV from a turret penetration.

i mainly play sim, so it’s very useful to me. But i can see what you mean if you play air rb (which most of the playerbase does). But i also think it would be nice if the F-1 got it, since it was made as a “support fighter” aka attacker, and it was mainly designed for the anti-ship and CAS role.

It’s rather unsightly, so I’m unsurprised it hasn’t been posted lololol

“whole years”

That’s how starved we are lol
