We can contact Hensold directly to ask them for clarification regarding the MK1 radar compared to the MK0 and the MK2 in terms of Field of Regard.
Closure rate of the missile means that you’re actually in the notch past 90°+. At 90° exactly, you’re still going to have to break lock and pull outside of your radars gimbal to defend. With 100° you shouldn’t need to do this because the extra 10° means you can actually notch and still guide your missile.

In the same update, they’re giving all AH-64Es IRCM, even though in real life it was only available to the US, and they’re specifically cutting down the radar on the German Eurofighter.
No double standards.

I prefer helicopters over jets. At the moment, I’m flying a Tiger UHT with PARS and Stingers against a Mi-28NM with a sci-fi shield, a laser cannon, and one-hit-wonder fire-and-forget missiles – all of which are assigned the same BR.
And even the Tiger UHT is worse than the French version, which never even entered operational service and fires fantasy missiles that aren’t allowed to be called PARS.
So yes, I have no problem with a German EF getting the AMK as compensation for a slightly worse (even if that probably doesn’t reflect reality) radar.
Can someone explain to me why it’s not allowed to work the other way around for once?
Ok, it seems like they nerfed the Italian and British typhoons?

Ah, ty.
I don´t know why this extended so long, the easier way to fix this is giving the ±100° to the german EF, ±10° is not a big advantage but it is an advantage at the end of the day.
Also the devs could easily justify it by taking on count that Captor-E (all variants) is supposed to have ±100° fov as stated on the official EF and airbus website, and hendsoldt just put ±90° because thats where the optimal performance is reached as some pople mentioned on the bug report:
German Typhoon’s Captor-E ECRS Mk1 Should have 200° Total FoR // Gaijin.net // Issues
But no, gayjin prefers to stay hard with the manufacturer website (while my gripen stills lacking the central pylon bomb, as the manufacturer says lol)

(the question was whether the german EF could get the MK.0 or MK.2 radar)
Hey @Morvran could you help me to find the specs of Mk0 and Mk2, please?
Cant find where it says both have ±100°, thanks.

It’s frustrating to see everyone arguing about what efts should and shouldn’t have. I feel like they should each be unique, that way there is some pride in flying one over the other. It’s not the worst thing in the world to have more reasons to hate the Brits or Italians ( envy can be quite motivating). I’m all for a worse radar, and losing brimstones or Pirate etc in exchange for an amk down the road. I mean, we can’t just ask for parity with no reason, the F-22 will come and the efts will have to take a back seat there anyway

This one is an image on the Eurofighter website, it doesn´t mention to be exclusive of Mk0

And this one doesn´t says the ±100°, it has the same image of the Leonardo Mk0 and Mk2 pdf (that documents also didnt statates the ±100°)

“Not huge gap”
GBR ant Ital just can correct missile at Notch, DE cant.
This is “not huge gap”
It’s scary to ask what is the big difference
Germany literally has only the worst options for joint development at the moment.
It’s like a deliberate mockery.

Late reply but I wanted to drop a thought.
Personally I would grind the German Typhoon because its German and I like the slim look of it without PIRATE (for early one). I know it might sound crazy but I would prefer german EFT to stay unique without IRST and with different but accurate radar aswell as smoky AIM-9Li (of choice) because there’s nothing cooler than seeing the missile trail chasing the enemy.
I know people are fixated about meta as if it was the only metric allowing for fun but theres so much more to the game that you can enjoy. German Typhoon by no means would end up being DOA if introduced without these extra 20 degrees of gimball.
Maybe its just because I play all nations but I really cant see the reason for such outrage from German players.
Considering Gaijin has been screwing over the German tech tree of years. There’s “some” bad blood there. The annoyance and outrage is to be expected when they arbitrarily get shafted every time. I’m only referring to the air tree here. The ground tree is fine aside from the arbitrary SLM nerf that came for literally no reason.

Apart from obvious MiG-21 - MiG-23 / F-4F late era that was seriously neglected in favour of USSR and US, I cant say the same about current state of their top tier with F-4F ICE and Typhoon and Tornado variants.

The German 2a7v is slightly worse than the Hungarian one.
The Tornado SLE is inferior to the Tornado Gr.4 and was added to the game a year later.
The Eurocopter UHT is the worst helicopter 13.0, and France also has the Eurocopter HAC and HAD.
Both German Eurofighters are worse than their counterparts in some ways.
“But don’t worry, just enjoy the aesthetics of German camouflage.”
It looks like a very unfunny joke.
