There are indeed some features of modern aircraft that don’t currently exist in game currently. Once sufficient information can be located on them and workable gameplay solutions explored for them, it will be possible to answer some of these topics in more detail.
As for things like RCS, it generally depends again on the current framework in the game and sufficient information.
Obviously because the developers do not consider them worth adding right now either because lack of information, or whatever (going by the lack of their addition). They’re probably waiting until the F-2A to come with its AESA radar.
Can we perhaps expect a dev blog for next major update on some of these missing features? I think some attention is needed in this regard and some feedback on these features would be nice. I’ve always stated that adding the Rafale and Eurofighter without reduced signature and sensor fusion is like adding the Nighthawk without its stealth, it’s missing the primary reasons for the existence of the aircrafts.
Except the real system on Eurofighter/Rafale would have both the radar and IRST lock onto the aircraft, rather than switching and turning off the radar completely.
To be fair, these features should have came with the aircrafts themselves last major update. If the Nighthawk can get its stealth (primary function) with the update it is added in, the Rafale/Eurofighter should have had their primary functions (reduced signature and sensor fusion) added with them.
I should note I said primary functions and not sole functions or reasons, there are secondary features of the aircrafts as well. However, there is no other reason in real life for other countries to have bought the Eurofighter and Rafale over the F-15/F-16s if not for these primary functions. Other planes can also fly and shoot missiles, and have AESA radars, that is nice. But the primary functions over previous generations were these systems.
The Nighthawk can also bomb, fly, and do its thing, but its primary function is stealth. That is the main attribute. Likewise, the main attributes of the Eurofighter/Rafale were reduced signatures and sensor fusion. Yet, it has none of those and didn’t have it added with them.
