    I am glad to hear the APG-63 will be looked at for upcoming updates. Will the PRF interleave detection range reduction be removed?
  2. henshao
    Tempering my hope for this 20 year old problem...hopefully they increase detection power to slightly optimistic values but there is always that chance it'll go up 1% and we'll have to wait until 2042 to get more

    all this is why I prefer to cut through percentages altogether and compare/ 1v1 fighters with, for instance, 4k lbs fuel for single engine and 8k lb fuel for twin engine or some other rule designed to level the field

    I also find it dubious that a jet as big and angular as a Fulcrum would only be 3m^2 especially with stores hanging off it but I digress

    As I understand it, a variable velocity gate was introduced at least partly so that F-15's stationed in Germany would stop getting locks on Autobahn traffic what's the RCS on a BMW m3 I wonder
  6. henshao
    Vector can be summarized as a half-speed search mode which allows greater detection range especially of low RCS targets

    the clear sky/lookup notching is also a thing still I believe

    for a similar reason Iran took the Tomcat over the Eagle...sort of a "win on sunday sell on monday" situation

    You guys are only checking once a day...?

    certainly, the unrealistically low RCS figures of the various aircraft above aren't helping matters
  11. henshao
    yeah I mean who needs situational awareness? other than the horsepower advantage everything you just said was inaccurate I've seen or heard so many pilots of other platforms IRL mention that they're "glad it's on our side" with regard to the F-15 due in no small part to the fact that it can be mach 2 at 45000 feet casting down long-range thunderbolts like zeus on mount olympus... in game the eagle's limited onboard radar and lack of a datalink (any kind) means you can be mach 2 at 45k feet if you want but zeus may as well be blindfolded
  12. henshao
    fixed that for you

    man, that takes me back. so many guys used to play the Su-27 instead of F-15 because "they were really flying the plane" and "none of that fly by wire crap." though I don't remember a time ever when the F-15's radar was up to snuff, as I understand it flanker and eagle have the same radar as far the game is concerned
  14. henshao
    you know I always thought the F-15 felt a little anemic at those higher altitudes at cruising power
  15. henshao
    I mean that's the A model and I think it's still doing better than what we have in game...

    from what I understand, soviet estimates of detection distance capability of the listed fighters vs 3m^2 target at various heights...take it for what it's worth

    cute little chart I found in passing
  18. henshao
    Yeah, funny that
  19. henshao
    you know something I never realized I was curious about - how much ground attack capability was left over on the Tornado ADV? perhaps a question deserving of its own thread
  20. henshao
    I would say the F-16 with its datalink and superior radar range makes it the biggest threat in the game at the moment, as it isn't very far off in terms of kinematic performance
  21. henshao
    some guy named GGTharos once said "the 160nm setting is on there for a reason"
  22. henshao
    I've said it before and I'll say it again: there is something wrong with your flight sim when it features the entire Teen series and the one which is best at BVR is the F-16!
  23. henshao
    Perhaps it is the technique I have heard referred to as "external coherence"
  24. henshao
    Did Mirage F1 get lookdown-shootdown radar/missile?
  25. henshao
    that is a very interesting perspective and reminds me of something I heard in passing long ago about the difference between the non-FBW jets and later jets, the FBW jets make an average pilot good but they turn a great pilot good too...the pure mechanical jets don't make up for an average pilot but they let a great pilot really shine
