It does, but again. PIRATE also provides ranging data (actually that is somewhat modeled in game now) but still cant be used to guide an AMRAAM
Spoiler
Not saying Tpods shouldnt get that ability. Just saying, lets fix IRSTs first and then look at breaking (because lets face it, it will break Tpods for a while) tpods afterwards
Right, but being able to track through the notch with the “auto change” system and now being able to launch when auto changed is still an improvement the TGPs should have benefited from.
Typhoons radar can track through the notch just fine when it STT.
So I dont think ive ever had it auto swap to IR.
With how many issues are surrounding Tpods anyway. Like the fact they cant even get FLIR + Tpod to work at the same time and they have to disable any built in systems if you have an external tpod
irl since the baz meshupar never got its radar updated it would be nice if gaijin moddeled it like it is irl,giving it spice 1000 and 2000, updating its cockpit with what is acctualy is irl, giving it acsess to python 4 and aim120B replacing the aim120 a it uses now. also with the changes i mentioned its br dropped to 13.0 -13.3
Its a placeholder
Also im not sure i derby will have a diffrance in the game cuz gaijin doesnt model ecm/jamming (if it will be harder to notch then it will make a diffrance)
“ALQ-211 is the name for the complete self-protection system, not an individual RWR.”
“SIRFC consists of two required sub-systems: the Advanced Threat Radar Jammer (ATRJ) and the Advanced Threat Radar Warning Receiver (ATRWR)"
"From this point on, when the name SIRFC is used, it will refer specifically to ATRJ and ATRWR, which are major sub-systems under this program’s development .”
Virtually nothing about it is finished. It’s just a husk of a vehicle with placeholder everything.
“Type81c”, which uses an IRIS model, is presumably a placeholder for Python 5
“Derby”, which also uses an IRIS model, is presumably a placeholder for SR or ER, we still don’t know which, but given SLM is getting a 40km missile, there’s no reason not to add ER which is also 40km.
And this is why players shouldn’t take war thunder as a historical game as this is a very clear stunt of gaijin do what they want as it’s their own game
