literally sensor fusion and multiband radars which are many aesa radars, can mitigate stealth enough to detect and track a stealth aircraft from safe launch zone
I wonder why 👀👀👀
actually missiles in game have anti ECM already
and you would think AESA works how it should in game lol
i actually have no idea
It astounds me how you are so consistently confidently wrong.
they removed PNG’s for some reason that’s why
The tail number changes when you put on different skins so I don’t see how the tail number is relevant to begin with

They are seeing stealth aircraft in a 100km+ BVR.
Yes. That’s the first EX. Out of Eglin. It is a frankenjet. As I said.
Literally
what exactly makes it a “frankenjet”
Besides, unless something with the decision to add maws has gotten delayed (which wouldn’t surprise me at all), the AF should be coming to a decision of what MAWS system to go with soon (at least to begin testing) so we could probably just end up getting MAWS on it early next year anyways
The bands that tracks stealth aircraft well are too far off from the bands that fighter jets use, also, most of them are not suitable to guide missiles due to lack of precision, as far as i know

CFTs are not on the first batch of production jets in service. Nor is Tiger Eyes. Nor is MAWS.
if IRST worked like it should and wasn’t blind F22 wouldnt be game breaking
so Godzilla Minus One confirmed?
Yeah the low frequency radar that is required to detect stealth aircraft from long range requires a MUCH bigger antenna than what can fit on a fighter, and it gives low resolution images anyways.
Generally to detect stealth aircraft at long ranges, you have to go a good bit below 1ghz. You can go higher, but the higher you go, the less range you get. With an optimistic frequency of 1ghz exactly, the wavelength is ~30cm. Since the antenna elements on an aesa radar generally need to be spaced 1/2 wavelength apart for optimal function, that already makes required absolutely massive. And the beamwidth scales with the aperature of the radar. With a radar as small as a fighter’s radar, the aperature would be quite small, making the beamwidth very wide, possibly as large as 20 degrees, and that only gets worse the lower you go in frequency. So at best, you could tell that there is a stealth fighter in that general direction, but you would not get anywhere close to the resolution required for a targeting solution.
There is a reason that low frequency radars for long range stealth detection are limited to massive ground based arrays and ship based radars.
