Super Étendard

the Super-Étendard is basically hold back by Gaijin.

The current radar mode doesn’t help anything as you don’t have Radar missiles, and Magic-1 aren’t all aspect missiles.

Magic-2 could have been implemented, but Gaijin said no, for whatever reason.

PESA radars aren’t really implemented yet.

The aircraft currently has access to the CIP for rockets and bombs + the CCRP for bombs. To my knowledge and according to the information that has been found, the gun does not have access to the CCIP

Oops, you are right, it does get it for bombs (maybe rockets too, haven’t unlocked yet).

They are on the Pantsir and Tor, although with crutches, like disregarding the time-energy relationship for search. Forgot the actual term, but radars require time to emit the radiation towards a target to detect it, even if they are ESA, which slows down search time. The S1, for example, scans the 90^\circ\times 90^\circ window with its tracking radar in a fraction of a second. There are, however, other features S1’s radar lacks.

They are adding a PESA radar with the Su-34 next patch, but so far it did not have any of the PESA specific features the S1 and Tor have, like revisiting a spotted target in TWS multiple times a second, while also searching a different portion of the sky. It could be that it is PESA only in name, for now. If not, I hope the Super Etendard also gets its PESA (doubt it, TBH).

The search mode of the Anemone currently locates SAM and SPAA at airfields, and some other AI vehicles. They can’t locate player vehicles however, for some reason

Well it can, it’s just limited to player ships.

Found that out in a custom battle.

I’d save those for something like a SEM 4/5 ( that one existed right? )
If added it’d be something like 11.3/11.7 in air with Magik 2s, Damocles and that specific loadout. And it’d still be way better than even stuff like a Jag IS and alike.
But that’s just my opinion, we first need to focus on the problems with the current SE ( buff the AS30s)

The SEM in game is already an “equivalent” to the std 4/5 for its RWR system and the double GBU12 carriage. So there is no reason why it could not have in play the addition of the carriage of additional GBU 12 in external point as we can see on the photos taken at the time of the Libya war in 2011.
