UK one has a LWS though
Weaponry is treated differently
I still don’t get it how LWS is important in jet. In ground RB sure it could be somewhat useful but in air rb how is it helpful in any way? (Beside the joke that British Eurofighter preform better then Italian Eurofighter even though both are same in every aspect accept for LWS)
it has its uses in sim and ground. But that doesn’t change the fact its objectively better
Extremely useful against the adats and helicopters
For ground, sure, It might help new CAS players to avoid laser guided weapons used by Heli and ADATS however in terms of pure A2A and sim, how does it make it better then any Italian EFT?
it gives you more time to react, if a heli looks at you you know it, if a fighter with a targeting looks at you with laser on, you know and can react sooner.
it is just nice to have. You have no downside from having it
You know in practice there is no difference between both CAPTOR radars, those slightly wide angles doesnt even help most of the time.
Would be useful in sim/ground rb but i don’t think it has any use in air rb. I don’t remember seeing any player using targeting pod to lock air targets in both sim or rb (Though I would ask players next time I play sim. If many players do use it in sim then I can see the benefit)
I agree with that but I still don’t understand why would make it better then Italian fighter in game mode like air RB and air sim.
Good to hear that
I got both German and British AESA EFT and never even noticed the radar angle difference once.
I’m just wondering how will gaijin implement ir missiles tho, will they mix it or keep it spesific for each EFT user.

weird, i use the last few degrees i get every round in the UK one, i could not imagine needing to notch and holding the tws lock with 10° less
It makes it better because you know when a heli or Adats is looking at you, so you have more time to react. If you disagree with me that is fine, but objectively it is an advantage
But I am not talking about ground anymore. As I said before, I agree it would be better in ground but
I am now asking how would it be better in Air rb or Air sim, where there are no heli or adats
NF-5A > F-5C fyi
Why? the topic is about air in general, so was my comment.
why are you exclusively talking about air battles?
Because air also includes Air rb and sim? I have told you that I agree with you that it would be better at ground RB. I Now I want to discuss how would it be better in the remaining two game modes which also is air related.
so you say an aircraft needs to be better in every game mode to be considered better? what kind of logic is that?
I don’t see you mention ground anywhere in your original comment which makes your comment vague and hence I assumed you meant all three game mode. Besides that, this is probably first discuss regarding US air in ground RB. Rest all of them is about air rb/sim which is the second reason why i assumed you meant Air rb/sim. Is it also my fault? Yes, While making this topic i should have mentioned Air rb/sim . Just mention the game mode you next time so that confusion like this don’t happen
Also if we are purely discussing about CAS then I don’t think British Eurofighter would be best in that in future as well
The UK one has a feature with only advantages that the Italian one does not have
= the UK one is better then the Italian one
It is pretty simple
If laser ranging IRST systems in game produced a LWR alert it would also have air to air utility. Though right now you do need to hit it with a TGP or Laser guided system from the ground.

IRL it is to detect IRST locks since certain ones use a laser to get the ranges of targets
