Well the moving nozzle of the F-35B technically counts as thrust vectoring (but yeah I get what you mean)
Which are? What exactly isn’t modelled

Thursday or Friday is the most likely day based on historical trends.
Multiple scan beams as an example

If they’re lazy they could just make AESAs scan faster
In game it’s not modeled.
that’s… exactly what I said?
Nvm, I didn’t go back far enough in the conversation.
Also, forgot the fact that some AESA (most recent ones) can do active jamming while scanning/tracking, while I have not seen any PESA with similar claims
we got the scan rate at the maximum scanning area which is limited by the Mechanical movement of the swash plate the CAPTOR-E is on
this is taken as a Primary source and the only one there is

CAPTOR-M does that too
but not in Warthunder, there this doesn’t exist
What about non-gimballed AESAs?
dependes on the radar
the Kfir has a rather quick scanrate, idk about the others
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.
