Potentially.
Is that across the whole ±100 degree view?
The ES area only, for full sweep across the whole field won’t be as fast, but still dramatically quicker than CAPTOR-M, with instant target updates.

Think about it like the su30s pesa, which is also a hydraulically steered esa. If you know how that works then you shouldn’t worry about eurofighters.
Although that one max scan is limited to its esa gimbal limits, unsure if aesa eurofighter is also limited like that one is, if it would be able to scan ±100 or stuck at ±60

Is it’s electronic scan ±70 or ±60?
Doesn’t actually say, brochure for Mk2 does use 70° as an example of typical fixed plate AESA though.

Gaijin will probably model it as ±70 then, considering that the brochure shows it as an example and also that captor m was also ±70. So same as Rafael before mechanical steering, quite good.
The E scan radar is part of Phase 4 enhancement which includes AMK so that should probably be added to the suggestion

I was trying to minimise the amount of modelling work required.

Fair enough considering we don’t even know what the final AMK kit with the gun looks like anyway

+1, would like to see it added to the AESA eurofighter
