That would be good but it does look like it had it’s weapons capability removed.
Best tell is that the gun was removed.
In the case of the HARV it was replaced with sensors and other equipment for recording data.

So very much doubt it would ever be added which is a shame since it would be really cool to see.
Would it make sense to give PESA RBE2 a worse scan rate than AESA one?
IRL there is no such thing as a Scan rate limit for ESA Radars
since nothing has to physically move it can change the beam’s direction instantly
the reason why PESA Radars still have a Scanrate is because as they use only one beam they still somehow need to saturate the entire scan area with It
an AESA doesn’t have this problem, it can easily just section the range into a lot of smaller ones and scan them once at given update intervals
there isn’t really a thing like a Scanrate in an AESA Radar
idk how deep you are into electro tech but it’s sort of the difference between an Electron tube and an LCD Monitor
But since the AESA can scan many areas at a time we could count it as scanning faster couldn’t we?
Yeah I see the analogy
yes we could and should count it as almost instant scan for all parts of the scan area, except ofc the parts that can only be seen when the gimbal goes there
I assume Gaijin has intentionally not modelled this because it would make many PESA Aircraft laughably bad in comparison
Pesa rb simply has smaller gimbal limits as well as less targets that can be simultaneously fired upon (only 4 targets)
RBE2 is gimballed?
Isn’t it fixed to the support?
Oh there comes the expert
He means that RBE2 has a narrower FOV than RBE2-AA; range is also lower, additionally to the already mentioned reduced simultaneously tracked targets.
What do you got to do to become a suggestion moderator ?
Oh, so that’s what gimbal is? I assumed it was only the physical rotation angle since, well, it’s called gimbal
You gotta be a gigachad like wreckingares
I guess it depends on personal understanding and context - in this context (lol).
Best available Primary source for ECRS is “more than 8x CAPTOR-M” so 8x70 means the scan rate should inexcess of 560 deg/sec. At that kind of speed I would call it near enough instant :D
But the BS thing is that the IBRIS has its correct scan rate that is higher than the artificially nerfed scan rate of ECRS, very annoying
They just don’t wanna make the EFTs good
Yeah…
Id just settle for them fixing the animation for the engines (its inverted in reheat and looks wierd) and fixing the cockpit HUD
Jamming while scan ? Are you sure ? Like… really sure ?
Or are you confusing the praetorian jammers pods on the wing tips with Captor
I just want to see atleast 1 EFT with the AMK, EJ230 and the TVC nozzles,
Thing would be an absolute dogfight monster
Add ECRS Mk.2 and the “Beast mode” (that doesn’t exist) and it would become one helluva BVR mobile too
I wouldnt be surprised if it could but at the bare minimum it can aid in EW simutaneously
The digitized signals from the antennas are analysed in the receiver unit, a component jointly manufactured by Leonardo UK and Hensoldt in Germany. It has three distinct receiving channels, making it the first fighter radar in NATO to do so. Each of the channels has its own set of tasks: the first channel is assigned with target acquisition, the second channel is responsible for track management in both air and ground modes and the third data channel is employed for screening and classifying Electronic Warfare (EW) sources and suppression of side lobes, improving the radars electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) capacity. The ECCM channel also enables the radar to carry out jammer mapping, a function allowing the identification of EW threats that are targeting the aircraft. - Source
Haha yeah, would be hilarious to mess about with
10-15% more thrust TVC, and the absolute shinanigans of AMK (like 10-20% better ITR and STR iirc with basic EJ200)
