I would I’m just lazy lmao
Sometimes i’ve thought that, and is the excuse I usually come to in something like the FA2. But in the Typhoon. I had this:
In the replay, it looks like the radar spotted it, but in game, it saw nothing until I switched TWS modes. Scan beam definetly passed over the target multiple times
blue vixen and AWG-9 are 2 different classes of radar. AWG-9 with a skilled operator would beat blue vixen. APG-71 would probably give CAPTOR-M some competition
Yeah the Russian radar is bad because well it actually is a pretty bad radar irl and iirc it is missing features but the EF is just bugged.
I would still confidently put my money on a 1990/2000s radar being better than one designed and built in the 1960s.

Yeah, hopefully the scan bar bug fix will help a bit there.
But yeah, from a few people who’ve commented on both their experiences in the Su-27 and Typhoon. They prefer the Su-27s radar because its bad but fairly accurate. Typhoons radar is bad and just makes them mad
do you have specs on that gaijins basing i could figure out i have tomcat manual
F14A and B have same radar so im gonna base it off the A manual
well APG-71 is from 80’s and very powerful, so it should be able to compete with early CAPTOR-M
I don’t know if I missed an episode or if the decal is just new but could it be a first teaser of J15??

I mean I would still take a EF because the R-77 coupled with a terrible radar is just so sad. I wish we had something like the MiG-29M (with a fixed flight model bc for some reason the MiG-29s flight models are still terrible) where you can carry a decent amount of missiles including the R-77 on an aircraft with a good radar it would probably be 13.7

Nothing solid, just know that Blue Vixen is considered on-par to superior to the AN/APG-73 found in the F-18C.
based upon messing about with the F-14A IRIAF. I prefer the Foxhunter and Blue Vixen over it massively
well yeah because the AWG-9 should be much better.
ill base it off that then apg-73 vs awg-9
That’s why Im thinking the SU-30 is going to be a fairly decent aircraft. Going to have one of the better radars at top tier and that R-77s have been just handicapped by a poor radar more than anything else
Yeah the only issue with it is the drag on the R-77 and R-77-1 is still complete bs so it is imo still worse than the AIM-120 by a long shot
I disagree as I use them on both the MiG-29SMT and Su-34 and they are imo the worst of the modern ARH missiles in the game only being better than the AIM-54
isnt R-77 supposed to be very draggy though?
Yeah… Though in fairness. Aim-120 is also underperforming by quite a margin. So if both were fixed. Im not sure how much would actually change relatively speaking. At least in terms of max range
Im sorry is chat really debating on if a 1990s Radar is better than one from the 1960s ??!!!???

AWG-9 was ahead of its time. only held back by older electronics, which was resolved with AN/APG-71, which is incredibly good
Not at supersonic and subsonic speeds iirc its the transonic speeds where it had more drag than the AIM-120
