I call cap on this. Especially when only the most recent AESA with GaN can do it.
Otherwise AESA would not be a thing and everyone would have stucked with the obviously superior Captor M design
Now that you point it out, I totally agree, it makes it a bit better in my eyes.
I still hate the skin, as it’s so easy to make a fire-themed skin look good and it’s not that.
Funny enough, I have that suggestion pending right now

It’s probably using the wing tip jammers for it, not the radar itself
At least that one looks good.
That’s what I’ve been saying lol. But some people can’t stop glazing the captor M as if it was the coming of Christ itself

I would also like to request a Japanese Ju-87 A-2/K-1.
(I’m not sure, but I think Hungary used Ju-87 B-1/2 not A)

a lot of low tier would be nice to see, later P-40s, P-47B/C, US P-35 etc, the earliest spits (ones with a 2 blade wooden fixed pitch prop), and idk why the Fairey battle, Albacore and Blackburn Skua havent seen the light of day either
not to mention the Defiant or Roc, nighfighter beauforts, and oddball variants of planes like spit Mk.7 or Mk.8
or Actual Israeli bottom tier, and other multitude of options for trees (I only really know british early stuff)
I hate how low tier is ignored by the devs

Japan is missing hundreds of aircraft (over 300 aircraft models) from the period before 1946. Gajin completely ignores the low level.

yeah, theres a lot of low tier content just absent because they think high tier is all we think about
I’d love a good chunk of low tier air or ground to grind out, the newer Mozzies and Ram I were some of the most fun ive had for a while

I’m not aware of CAPTOR-M being able to jam enemy radars and scan at the same time. I’ve not seen anything to suggest that is the case, and it is always talked about as one of the advantages introduced by CAPTOR-E. There is some limited evidence to suggest that CAPTOR-M can act as a jammer, but I suspect it would be limited to tracking the one target that it is jamming in sort of an ECM-STT mode.
ECM stuff is often one of the most classified parts of modern aircraft though, so it will probably be a long while before anything conclusive gets released.

yes ECM is the most classified part of any aircraft
after all the way ir works is detrimental to developing Countermeasures
this is also why only Very old ECM systems like the SPS 141 pod are actually relatively well known
Can we expect something this week even ?
I wouldn’t get my hopes up, but we are getting close to devblog season
How much does the EX weight when empty? Compared to the Strike Eagle.
Also, are there meaningful FM changes that would make it less of a boat in WT?
Wikipedia says the EX is 900 pounds heavier
The EX apparently gets a F110-GE-129 engine instead of the Es F100-PW-229

It’s slightly heavier with slightly more thrust.
Actually it has worse thrust to weight than the f-15e but it’s so minor (like 0.05 difference) it doesn’t really matter
