@Smin1080p_WT Are you planning to add the ability to move the TGP overlays on the MFDs in cockpit view? This would be a really immersive and realistic feature for sim players all around the nations.

Honestly hoping we see this soon. Having to use the dedicated camera view really restricts your situational awareness in Sim and also really disorientating when flying in VR.

This would be a massive win for Sim if we get this added.

But some things would need to be fixed such as increasing the gimbal limits on the screen to what they actually are in the dedicated camera view, add a working zoom slider instead of it being either zoomed all the way out of zoomed all the way in

Having just recently flown the AV-8B, yeah this is infuriating.
(AV-8B also has the bug that the cockpit MFD only gimbals to what the onboard targeting pod offers even when you have a lightning II pod equipped).

Yeah this is an issue with a few other aircraft aswell, the F-14B suffers from this where the TISEO camera has it’s own screen but the LANTIRN pod does not. All the devs need to do to fix this is add these TPG pods as their own screen. Would be nice in the case of the F-14B if the MFD for the TISEO was changed to be actually useful and look different than just the standard screen.

The jaguar currently does not use a AKERON, and could be added at 10.3-10.7 no problem

“Aircraft sized targets”

Yeah, it’s one of the stupidest ideas ever. We’re playing War Thunder, not DCS. There’s no reason why digital RWR couldn’t identify modern RADARs anyways.

There are plans to make the now in service MS20 JAS39C close to the 39E, maybe new radar but definitely new EW suite and avionics and such. Still the same frame so the smaller wings.

Then there is the proper 39E which is a whole new plane with the larger fuselage, wings, underbelly pylons that can carry missiles (not just bombs) so up to 7 BVRAAM and 2 WVRAAM compared to 4 and 2 on the 39C, new F414 engine so it can supercruiseat M1.1 - 1.2, AESA radar on a swivelplate, IRST and an EW suite that matches or outperforms the F35.

So only one 39E but also a 39C that is nearing it’s performance compared to what is in service now

What else would it be

Aircraft sized is quite a strechable definition and the Radar equation can really skew that number depending on the RCS of whatever they define as Aircraft sized target

Yes it does, it has a retractable double tube Akeron MP launcher.
4 Akerons and a 40mm would be great for 12.0 though, which is where France lacks a light vic.
