Russian planes get instantaneous ESM from whatever sensors they have in game, but all the US aircraft (and possibly aircraft like the rafale and eurofighter, but I don’t have experience with them in game) do not have this, despite having it in real life. They should have the ability to use their AESA radar to scan ESM instantaneously similar to the russian ESM. the aircraft I am specifically talking about are the F-16 PoBIT and the super hornet, as the F-15 GE does not have ARMs.
Russian planes get their ESM from their RWR not radar, that’s why the tooltip in the xray says: L-150 ESM
yes and NATO RWRs also have ESM, they just arent modeled with it in game

Yes, Rafale, EFT, and Gripen E are missing intergrated ESM. Even the Tornado IDS SLE is missing intergrated ESM.
As to why only the soviets have intergrated ESM and it performs considerably better than AGM-88 based ESM? Its kinda self-explanatory

This is the same for bluefor aircraft.
EFT is the same, with 360 FoV and instant updates for its ESM as its electronic not mechanical

why gaijin gotta overmodel eastern stuff, meanwhile aircraft like the POBiT still have the damage model radar of the block 50, instead of the AESA it is supposed to have

Makes sense when you remember that Gaijin is a Russian company

one could hope for a dev team that is neutral in their development and additions of every nation…
