Ghosting is hopefully being fixed as part of this coming major update. Whether that is the case or not when it actually hits the live servers remains to be seen.
But the Typhoons radar has gotten a fraction of the work it needs so far and is still underperforming notably
I’ve had so many issues with the Typhoon not seeing targets it shouldnt have any issue seeing or loosing track of targets barely defending, that i’ve given up on the Typhoon in SB for now. I have none of these same issues with the Foxhunter on the F3 or the CAPTOR-Ms own predecessor, the Blue Vixen currently found in the FA2 and Gripens.
Something is definetly wrong, and it is widely reported.
Given the fact the Typhoon is being pitted against aircraft with ever stronger radars like the Rafale’s AESA radar or the soon to be arriving Su-30SM’s PESA radar. We need the CAPTOR-M to be at full strength not a slightly tweaked and clearly buggy version of the Blue Vixen.
It was hoped if nothing else, this update would see Priority track added alongside basically the exact same functionality being refined for the AESA radars, but alas, it has not. Other issues have only started being addressed (like the ghosting)
In addition to air to air limitations, no sign yet of the Typhoon’s missing GMTI mode, and whilst its not alone in this (Rafale is also still missing it) the lack of FnF AGMs makes it use far more valuable alongside the Brimstones. Su-30SM getting GMTI whilst the aircraft added last major are still missing it, is very very annoying.
But its incredibly annoying to do everytime and sometimes you cant do it quickly enough.
Too many times i’ve been forced onto the pure defensive by something like a Rafale, because, try as I might, I cannot bring to bear my own weapons against the Rafale simply because my radar cannot find the damn target.
I didnt enjoy many 1vs1 bc it is toptier and most of the time when I could have this fight I do not have aim120´s anymore to put him on defense. So I cant rlly tell besides I used hms and acm to get locks in those fights, so I dont have these tws problems in my fights
Which is the difference between playing ARB and ASB.
In ASB you are almost 100% dependent on TWS to find targets, because by the time you’ve found them with the Mk2 eyeball, you’ve already had a multiple MICAs fired at you and HMS/ACM modes are not all that much use if you cannot visually see the target
Yup. Though there are plenty of calls i think to at the very least, trial ARB with no markers. So it might not be a ASB/GRB/GSB issue for that much longer
Its getting a little frustrating now.
The FM including acceleration has been nerfed. While they have buffed the Rafales acceleration
It’s Radar and sensor fusion.
While the Typhoon cannot even have it’s cockpit UV filter added to the Hud screen…
