Major Update "Line of Contact" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

alright. Though, for radars, does it matter what plane it was first mounted on? As it was a su-30 that irbis was first installed in and not a su-27/su-35

yeah I was agreeing idk why you tried to correct me lmao

I would argue that RWRs would show a service aircraft with said Radar (which has been the case for over 10 years?), instead of a one-off prototype, which would’ve never seen combat anyway.

irl I would assume its probably based on whats more common, for example I think it will probably be Su-35 because of the fact Su-35 is more common then Su-30SM2 that have had the Irbis mounted

for RWR to be able to label something you need to sample the signal first, and i doubt that NATO in this case got IRBIS samples from a Su-30MKK but rather the Su-35

and it would make more sense to lable it as such becasue its the jet its most commonly used in

It wouldn’t matter what plane it was first mounted on. RBE2 was first mounted on a civilian airliner. What matters is what was the first plane that NATO would have seen it regularly being faced with that same radar.

that would make sense. Though the original su-27m/su-35 used bars originally, so if those eventually get added to the game i wonder how gaijin will deal with those for rwr

I hope to see the day where an airliner in wt shows up as RFL on the RWR

Question; how does F/A-18E’s radar compare to EF AESA’s?

best i can do is this:

I’ve been told that things get added based on demand for a vehicle. Though, I never did get an answer on what determines how in demand a vehicle is.

loses out 60 degrees (±30), and it has a lower scan rate. so its just outright worse.

I see! So the point of F/A-18E is, uh…

It’s…

Yeah, just yet another plane that arrived 5 Major Updates too late to be truly relevant, I guess xD.

I supposse F-15C GE will remain the better U.S plane, then? Which isn’t saying much, but…

New Tranche looking fire. Must be the AMK kit too

yeah, it basically the same radar as the f-15c ge. So might as well play that as it has same amount of ARH missiles

Biggest advantages it got irl were better weapons across the board, but none of them are in game. Give it 9x block 1 and aim120c-7/d and it would do a lot better, not well mind you, just better. JSOW, JASSM, and SLAM are also missing.
