It looks like your radar elevation is actually pointing up slightly, so it might have been that the radar wasnt looking at the target

The Eurofighter seems fine to me??? Tracks very fast in narrow fov
There are 3 major issues
- A LOT of ghosting still
- Medium scan mode can barely keep track of anything
- TWS often struggles to find targets

F-14b and F-15e radars are both broken in TWS. They will see ghosts or be looking everywhere except were your nose is pointed. WTF? Fix this please. Who wrote this janky code?

Yep, Radar is just completely broken right now, Just got the F-15C and every match the radar will randomly just stop returning contacts in TWS. It’s not an issue of radar elevation being off axis, I can see the jet I’m trying to pick up clearly in the scan zone. The radar will act like its on but nothing will come up on the scope. Sometimes power cycling the radar will work other times it doesn’t.

For me, TWS+ stops updating targets when one of the targets fire missiles, I think it tries to update the missile location and just stops scanning normally, I had games where I’m tracking 10+ targets from spawn to 25km but the moment they fire missiles, all targets vanish and I can’t fire back.
This my experience with J-11B radar
This is not an issue with ESA radars like Su30 or Rafale

I played some games to record what I mean
at the 12s mark u can see a missile appears in TWS and its all downhill from there, I even go to narrow search mode and manually move it but no targets appear

That was just a over simplification of my statement of course I did multiple angles

I got a demo on how bugged the EF2000 radar is currently Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On
Spectate Rewarc93 and go into sensor view and just look what the radar does after launching my first couple missiles. Its wild and its not just one game out of 10 or something, the captor does that every single game.

TWS just seems to keep switching targets and has a very low notch/manuverable tolerance

They also messed with the positioning of the radar’s scan.
If I soft lock, the radar does the normal thing of following the target. However, if i unlock, the the radar stays in that position.
This is so annoying because it means my radar will just sit scanning the far left corner(for example)
I guess i now have to add yet another keybind to have my radar position reset to normal which is so dumb.

Same. TWS is unusable, I can’t find one good setting on it to reliably track/lock enemies. Ghosts everywhere moving at the speed of light sometimes point my radar to Narnia. The fact that it doesn’t reset to the middle of the screen without the new key bind which decides by itself when and when not to work as well makes playing top tier extremely infuriating. Radars have never been this bad.

I love being able to clearly see the guy, heading straight for me, and my radar refuses to lock onto him. Like mate, I can see with my own two eyes, I can click on him, I can see his pilot staring into my soul. What do you mean you cannot see him. And then last second, it decides to track a random Su-7 20km away.

Has there been any updates on this topic? Because damn it’s horrible playing top tier without a proper working radar

All targets vanishing from TWS screen as soon as they get in effective missle range is just the most frustrating thing I have ever encountered in ARB and it has been weeks like that. Just saying.

i was playing sim in su30 yesterday, narrow band tws at 5000 meter high looking STRAIGHT at a f15e, had to mhd it cause the tws wouldnt pick it up, happened a lot.

Yup, had something similar in the Typhoon last night, I had the target for a second or 2, so I knew it was hostile, but could not get the radar to reacquire it, so just ACM locked it

Yes! and the recenter doesn’t even recenter the direction vertically.

not that i know off, they say they fix it but nothing really changes the radars
Enemy at 7km alt flying towards me, im at 6km alt, and TWS doesnt see anything. I hold at him for 15 seconds and it doesnt pick him up once.
