I would like to know why the SPECTRA system of the Rafale has not yet been added to the game. I am frustrated because it is indeed modeled in the game but cannot be used. Perhaps this is for reasons of balancing the nations, but I think it would be interesting to add such a system to the game.
For your information, "this system is called SPECTRA, which stands for ‘Système de Protection et d’Évitement des Conduites de Tir du Rafale’ (Rafale’s System for Protection and Avoidance of Fire Control), formerly ‘Système de Protection Électronique Contre Tous les Rayonnements Adverses’ (Electronic Protection System Against All Adverse Radiation), operating on a frequency range of 1 to 20 GHz.
The operation of SPECTRA relies on a principle different from those mentioned earlier to deceive radars: if the wave returning to the radar has been deliberately altered, the radar will deduce an erroneous position for the object."
There are no Electronic support systems modeled in the game at all yet.
None of the aircraft that have this functionality has it in game yet as it hasn’t been added as a mechanic.
I would like to add something. I think bringing out the Rafale without adding the SPECTRA system is like adding the F-22 without stealth. That’s the strength of the Rafale, that system.
The system itself is not functional in the game, but it is clearly visible on the aircraft… for example, the “block” at the end of the winglet is part of this system. I know the Typhoon has a similar system (less effective, of course), so it will always be possible to find a balance.
That’s true, but it would make the game so much more interesting, forcing close combat, for example… Gaijin did add passive stealth, so why not add active stealth as well?
The ECM alone is not SPECTRA, just a part of it. The SPECTRA provides long-range detection, identification and accurate localisation of infrared, electromagnetic and laser. The system incorporates, RWR, LWS and MAWS for threat detection plus Jammers and decoy dispensers.
Besides Jamming, counter react decision computer and current issues with the implementation, SPECTRA has been implemented and is functional the way the Game supports it. This is also not unique to the Rafale but quite a few other Jets with integrated ECM and similar features.
The MiG-21 doesn’t have one… These systems are very modern; just because you see cameras and electronics sticking out doesn’t necessarily mean it’s such a system… Aircraft equipped with systems like the Rafale’s include, for example, the F-35, the Gripen, the F/A-18 Hornet, or even the Typhoon.
I mean, as close as they can get with publicly available information, i doubt that they will be able to do 100% accurate characteristics as they are all classified.
What do you mean?
Just to clarify (because i know the title can be confusing): Game Masters handle chat- and name-bans, i have no access to any behind the scenes information and i have no influence on the development of the game.
