IDK
If you mean “If it will make the beam that you see in the sensor view in the replays smaller” then the answer is (should be) yes
In fact I measured that on screenshots for bug reporting it since they wouldn’t accept the 9 deg value from the datamines …
When I am flying in air RB I often start getting warnings for incoming active radar homing missiles that are miles away from me and tracking a totally different target flying in a different direction.
My question is simple, does the beam width of the transceiver lessen the angle at which I will be erroneously detecting incoming signals?
Yes, it will reduce those
But those warnings are not necessarily always “erroneous”
The missile is tracking another target, but if you are within the view of its seeker, it could in some situations switch to you …
I get warnings for missiles that are 90 degrees to my left and tracking a target that is past it, so I would be behind the missile.
Yeah, those are due to sidelobes
Happens when your own missile goes active off the rail as well
(Take the F-14 itself into test drive and launch at close targets)
Those will still happen but maybe to a lesser degree
isnt the biggest effect gonna be it finding target less often, given its pretty bad IOG you are probably gonna have to guide them on TWS even further
That’s probably gonna be the case as well
rear lobes, apparently.
I remember back a few patches the Kfir radar rangefinder had a larger rear radar lobe than a front radar lobe. It’d scream at my RWR from 16km behind him, but only start doing things at 6km frontally.
Imagine if they’d installed it facing the right way how good the range would be on that bad boy.
Not all missiles male use of dusl plane maneuverability
I might do a Raytheon media request
Watch Gaijin ignore everything because “AIM-54 made by Hughes”
lmao, that is if i even get a response
but it won’t matter, Hughes was sold to Raytheon anyway, so they will have to accept it
That’s the joke lol
too real to be a joke
I definitely noticed this detail the most, did anyone else find this interesting?
my bad😭
Shhhh, they’ll get ya… You’re gonna get your post hidden (ooOOo)
Hypersonics in WT would be dope
And not op at the same time considering the fact this is STILL a pheonix, and STILL will accelerate slowly
But i think the speed cap (like 4.6 mach?) affects weapons and projectiles too, not just vehicles.
