Is the radar on C10 finished? It should be AESA ELTA ELM-2052. Or its not block 60? What it actually is then?
Currently you cant even see its details in preview and in test drive, it acts like normal PD, looks like copy pasta of blue vixen again (what is with you and copying blue vixen to everything gaijin? Now we have Harrier, Eurofighter, Gripen and this with same radar that barely works due to bug with repeating bars)
In pilot details, its called 2032 which would be M-scan radar and not advertised AESA.

If its B60, then yes, it should be 2052 AESA. If it remains as 2032, then I’ll just bug report for a name change. I gotta arrive home first to see if it had anything that the B60 normally has.
Well, its advertised in dev blog as B60 with aesa.

pretty sure the C.7 should also have a MAW system (i am not asking for one)

cause it doesnt have an actual radar? it has a PD rangefinder and thats it
Yeah
however there was no time for an extended dev server due to the Holidays and Sony’s all store items must be released before the 23rd December policy
Kfir C.7 has the proper radar it used IRL.
No Kfir asides from the C.10, C.10 Block 60, Kfir 2000 (prototype C.10), and I think one C.2 testbed had anything other than the Elta 2001B Radar Rangefinder. There’s no room to fit a more capable radar into the nose of a Kfir without major modifications (see difference in nose size of C.10 compared to C.1/C.2/C.7)
I believe it was disproven some time ago that the SPS-200 was a MAW system. If I remember right, it could be integrated with a wider network to become part of a MAW system, but on at least the Kfir it was only ever used as a standard radar warning system.
Event vehicles are seldom finished when only available for testing since you have to wait until the 8th star is unlockable to olsy it anyway
Well good news everyone. It just received its aesa. And from Test drive, it actually looks better than RBE2-AA. Scans faster, can track targets further and has HPRF TWS.

No it doesn’t the radar it used in real life was the elta el/m 2021b
That radar never entered service. From what I can recall reading, it was utilized on a modified Kfir testbed for evaluation, but implementation on the C.7 was cancelled. The radar then underwent further development to become the Elta 2032 multi-mode coherent radar, which was initially developed for the Lavi, but later utilized on a few aircraft modified for export use (Indian Sea Harrier FRS.51 LUSH, multiple F-5s, etc).
The Elta 2021B was essentially the same size as the Elta 2032, and thus could not fit in the stock/unmodified nose of a Kfir. This is why the Kfir C.2 testbed, Kfir 2000, Kfir C.10, etc have a larger diameter/longer radome.
The only Kfir variant prior to the C.10/Kfir 2000 that could possibly fit the Elta-2021B/Elta 2032 would’ve been the RC.2 “Tzniut”, which had a rather funny-looking nose housing photo-reconnaissance cameras.
