love the brm seemingly not knowing the game has sensor fusion, at least a primitive maws version is present ingame.

The Russian report for that was accepted two days ago though:

Title “JAS-39E не работает sensor fusion СПРА+СПО” (JAS-39E sensor fusion does not work MAWS+RWR). @Michael-IR I don’t think this one has been added to the list?

Excuse me. What is the difference between the AIM-120-C-8 and the AIM-120-C-5?

the number in the name

C8 got improved engine, seeker and flight computer. Its better in almost every way except for pull which should be around the same afaik. Unless the changes to flight computer were so drastic it actually improved pull at the end.

Main gripes (no pun intended) for me is getting the spherical smart RWR and it’s DL HMD added.

Is there any way we can reach out to the devs to fix the RWR names? Especially playing in VR, they are IMPOSSIBLE to read. Should i make a bug report or?

Edit: this is on Virtual desktop Ulta resolution btw so it is not the quality. I also tried maxing out the resolution, it is still not readible.

I have also noticed that the RWR is missing the center mark. I believe 25 and 50 indicates the range but as there is no mark on the center, it makes is really hard to notch at 90 degrees.

If the C8 is implemented, will it have a longer range and require more loft maneuvering?
It seems like its performance at closer ranges will be reduced : )

I dont know how would gaijin implement them but C8 should be pretty good in WVR due to improvements to flight computer as I said

I see, that’s helpful.

It’s 16 years old and likely fetched from an archive somewhere as well. Wouldn’t be weird if it is actually a SAAB source.

In-cockpit RWR not readable/usable.

Dang that’s fast. Impressively fast.

Spontaneous guess on the radar change is that they did it because they are currently bugging out, might be a temp fix perhaps?

Yeah they removed same line from other ESAs today so Im guessing its the “fix”
