Aren’t current radars limited in range compared to their real life counterparts?
And of course as we get to modern era with classified equipment, there won’t be much for Gaijin to go off on and as such they’ll most likely introduce nerfed equipment because real life isn’t fair and gameplay > accuracy.
the only way in they can buff it its by giving them extra range and maybe a wider cone but its already quite wide the only advantage the PESA has over AESA its wider locking, meanwhile AESA uses mechanical steer to compensate for that but its faster at scanning has more precision over PESA, can lock on numerous targets, and its harder to counter due to to capabilities of multiple frequency generation over wide range. In general i would put AESA in being more versatile than PESA tbh, and this radar seems the most effective so far
No. Radars have their correct range currently.
Against bombers? Dunno
BRs are for balancing radars, weapons, airframes, etc.
event rewards leak
cant wait for the catfish
BRs are just a tool, just like armaments. Case in point, look at T-2 receiving 9Ps this update. That’s balancing. Similarly, the F-1 lacks 9Ls as a balancing measure.
The reason I don’t follow your logic on this is that by your logic the game shouldn’t have had RWR until this update in its current state since otherwise it wouldn’t be accurate. However, the game has time and time again introduced weaponry and vehicles in an early state and then revised them later. Radar mechanics in general were introduces this way and still get updated every so often. Similarly, there’s no reason AESA wouldn’t be the same. As I mentioned before, a non-mechanical scanning PD radar seems sensible as a first implementation, allowing it to be refined later as more AESA aircraft are introduced. In this fashion, an AESA radar isn’t much of a huge leap in capability.
My understanding is AESA scans electronically and has no mechanical component.
RWRs were accurate before. They’re just more accurate now, and so far the launch function of the RWR is more of a hinderance for the time being. We’ll see if that improves/opinion changes over time.
What I’m saying is, treat AESA implementation as early radar implementation. It will be basic and probably not accurate, but will get the job done and be refined later. There’s no reason they can’t do that, besides personal gripes of equipment not being up to spec, but that’s something going around for everyone so nothing to note lol.
Also to the moderators, I’m not sure if this discussion belongs in this thread. If not, please be sure to let me know.
That’d be junk code and an intentional waste of money.
You know why Sea Harrier had a radar at all before Blue Fox was finished? Cause it was F-5E’s radar.
There’s no radar to copy from cause AESA’s not in the game.
AESA’s not coming this year either, F-2 certainly isn’t cause Gaijin already stated it was too advanced, and we know in our hearts & minds that F-15J is inferior to F-2.
I don’t know much about modern Radars
But
the AN/APS 6 on the F6F-5N can according to the (declassified) manual reliably detect Islands at 65, Ships from 35 and planes from 5 Nautical Miles as well as having a gun aim mode
now in game it detects only planes from 5 regular miles away and has the wrong radar lock mode that later Jets had without the Gun aim function
due to being implemented like 50s Radars it also gives the pilot a lot less information as the more raw display of the 1944 radar
Do you know how AESA works? Because it sounds like you’re very knowledgeable about it. In addition, it’s going to show up at some point you know. Makes the most sense to test it on one airframe than on several at once. Taking that first step isn’t junk code nor waste of money but a necessary step.
I’m not saying it’s coming this year, just that it is a possibility. All we know about the F-2 was that it was coming in the next “few” major updates, which depends on your interpretation.
The quote from the AJ dev blog for reference:
Therefore, when choosing between forcing Japanese aviation enthusiasts to wait for the Viper Zero a few major updates, or giving Japan a 4th generation aircraft now, we chose the second option.
Regardless, this radar talk is more applicable for the XF-2 because it used prototype radar and as such gives more leeway for Gaijin to test things however they want to. It gives them more creative freedom to introduce such a mechanic in a balanced way. That assumes they don’t go with the other potential route of using the APG-68 (F-16C radar that’s already in the game). Such radar was considered but from my understanding it is unclear if it was fitted and tested or if they went straight to the prototype J/APG-1 AESA radar as it might have been ready in time (but that doesn’t mean it can’t use the APG-68). This means Gaijin has free reign to use the APG-68 that solves that conundrum.
What’s that in English?
I know enough about AESA to understand the chaff resistance, signal strength, & differences between standard PD radars. I still don’t fully understand its search technique nor how easy it is to notch.
I don’t have much info on it, aside from promotional material and my understanding of the physics involved but that’s not saying much lol.
I had reaserched f-16, had 17000 left on it and when i was done today I couldnt buy it.
becasue i have to research F-16 early for 400000rp before i can buy it…??? how is this fair!!!
That sounds like an issue, not an issme.
I dont know who to turn to? is it ment to be like this ?
definitely not in the rumour discussian thread
but yes it’s meant to be this way, you’d have had to buy it before the update
Ok. thank you for anwsering
ok but what does it translate to? I tried translating it myself but got nothing…
