How are you having issues with the AESA one
Just TWS and increase scope range and you are like an AWACS

Ik about that but it still struggled to find the jet. That was while playing the AESA.
Do you increase the range on the scope when you have loaded in
you know good thing about EFT being in three different TTs is that chances of some issue affecting only single EFT are extremely low.
Yes, the base CAPTOR has issues - but these issues are present across all EFTs.
The AESA Captor tho? Only difference to the UK and Italian one is, to my knowledge, gimball limit. Which does not affect the scan speed or pattern at all.

German AESA Euro is a very solid aircraft, the missile is a drawback but it’s bearable.
Captor E got very good scan volumes, it’s my favourite ESA radar so far, even if it has only 90° scan compared to something like the IRBIS.
The Captor M EFT is bad because the radar is simply disgusting, I agree.

Yeah, it’s on 90x30 and 37km
I’d agree with the CAPTOR-M. That is still a shockingly bad M-Scan radar.
But the AESA one as well? Really? How are you having issues with it?
better to send a gameplay so everone can help you.

German main playing jet? Waaait what???
How did you get to the aesa typhoon and still don’t know how to use the radar…Send us gameplay and we can help out.
Do you by chance have the IFF filter on the AESA or the mechanical for that matter set to friendlies only? I have found around 4~ posts on the forum/reddit where this was the issue with the radar being “blind”.

Oh yeah quick question, I noticed there were three modes for the filter. One of those modes has it where it makes the enemy’s plane type disappear and the green radar box is also gone. It’s just a small red square. Do u know what’s the point of that mode? And is there a suggestion already made for introducing a similar radar filter that SPAA has for just seeing enemy aircraft and not missiles?
That would be the friendlies only mode and the red box is your IRSTs SPI box when it slaves to the radar.
The point of friendlies only mode is to quickly be able to declutter your radar scope to gain more situational awareness on the disposition of friendly aircraft when they might be in close proximity to red air.

Where can I check for that?
See this post I made on another thread.
It was set to both friendly and enemy. Now what?
Then you’re going to need to provide examples of it not working. Because the ECRS radars are all fantastic.
spam the softlock button in direction of enemy planes while you are using tws
I agree. I got the Ef2k and I am still spading it. But one thing that I noticed is that the radar is sort of soso.
All for Sim.
One example. I have a rafale coming straight at me, i locked him. I get the “shoot” and i send out three fox3, while he send one mica. I cannot see the mica on radar, no way to lock. My foxes don’t hit although the rafale did not shoot them down, i get hit by the mica. I was unable to lock the missile. I don’t seem to have the issue on the Swiss F-18C late. There i can lock the incoming missiles.
The second example which puzzels me. I fly high altitude and tilt my radar downwards. I can clearly see the RWR and radar target in front of my. Betty is indicating to me too the low flying threat. But as much as i put the radar cursor on the target, no way to follow in RWS mode, neither a lock possible. Then I hear a missile warning, but nothing. Cannot see that missile. Boom. I am gone. I noticed that the radar tilt makes the radar curso lock on the shown target impossible. I tried to level the tilt and have the nose of my Ef2k heading towards the previously shown target. Bing, that works. For me a bug. But who knows.
I am not a Eurofighter pilot, so i cannot compare to the F-18c, but I cannot imagine that it is this bad IRL. I gues all of this is a bug, either with SIM Battle in general or from the Ef2k.
