@@chefboyarb im no pro at this game but following guides and such i managed to learn how to operate the f15c in less than 5 hours of gameplay. It's not a complex plane and very good to start with. The radar quickly becomes easy to operate, as you will have to use it continuosly, you'll learn exactly where to look to get the info you need, in no time. Much harder is learning how to avoid missiles, situational awareness and high g manuevers while dogfighting, but these are things that apply to all planes.

@gunlovingliberal17064 жыл бұрын
For the tech geeks out there: the radar does not actually move. The hardware used is a phased array of wave guides. The RF signal is phase shifted to each element in the array in order to make the outgoing beam coherent in a specific direction. The beam is swept as described by Cap, but the hardware remains stationary relative to the aircraft. The tutorial is still valid. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array#:~:text=In%20antenna%20theory%2C%20a%20phased,directions%20without%20moving%20the%20antennas.

Considering this is a C model, it's likely not an AESA/Phased Array. The original AN/APG-63 wasn't AESA, but the AN/APG-63(V)1-3 are. The old C and D models were retrofitted with the AESA radars relatively recently (as in the year 2000 in an Alaskan F-15C), but I doubt they are what was used in the DCS model. AESA Radars are beasts though. Easier to work on by far

I will guess the answer, so cmiiw. Flying low means flying in denser air, more resistance, and fuel consumption will be way higher. It will make your range limited compared to others in your unit/squad. Also it will be much harder to avoide missile due to the missile being sent from higher altitude has higher kinetic. Otoh, you will also have altitude disadvantage as your missile will have to climb and lose speed.
