stealth in sf2

[debmalya]

Does sf2 model stealth to any degree ?

from my experience setting up the f117 , f22 , f 35 mods in mission editor

it does seem to work against weaker radars , but not at all against stronger ones

or i may be mistaken ...

@debmalya moved to the correct forum.

Yes, it does work

[debmalya]

 In any case stealth does not aircraft invisible

recently a  Indian navy Tupolev Tu 142( a variant  of the legendary  TU  95 bear  )  has been set up in an open air park    in my city (Calcutta  India )

but will try to post some  photos taken outside

It works, there's a thread about it, but ca's search engine is a bit broken at the moment (is this just me?)

Anyway, in short, according to that thread,base RCS of an aircraft depends on its model cross-sectional area, which the game engine automatically calculates (thanks to TK).

In data.ini, the value after BaseRCSModifier= will act as a multiplier(of course) to affect the final radar RCS.

Yes, the problem is that if radar's trackstrength is high enough, it will also "burn through" such low RCS targets,as well as ECM (which is actually a bit consistent with RL), but for mods, there is a lack of a standard.

YES , i vaguely  recall one forum post  on this topic

I did a f22(mod ) vs su 27b and f15a vs su 27b

in the mission editor

both starting off at around 60 km from each other

3-4 times

the f22 did much better

recently managed to modify the radar strength of Rafale  to my liking

the Rafale mod has a  fantastic  3d model , but the AESA radar was far too weak (60 km track range versus 150+km in real life )

also it seems to be bit overpowered , same with the SU  35 .

The stealth does not work against active homing missiles. If you set the seeker range of an AHM to something very large like 100000 (100km) the computer can fire that missile at you from that range without ever seeing you on the aircraft's radar. So check the seeker ranges for all AHMs. The ranges should be 20000 (20km) or less.

Thank you

that makes sense , the su27b in my scenario  only had  SARH  r 27

The  Chinese pl 15 ARH  is almost impossible to evade , even with the F 22 !!, Mr Wrench confirmed that ARH missiles cannot be detected by the RWRS in SF2

IT IS A NASTY MISSILE , very fast

(the PAKISTANIS claim 3 Rafales  were downed  using pl 15  in recent clashes over the Indian Pakistan border, denied by IAF , the truth is unlikely to come out soon )

the outgunned IAF now is trying to outfit the meteor missile  in all of its fighters, also considering the su 57 .

The thing is without stealth on both sides , dogfights really are a thing of the past it seems )

its always been wonky. it often works better to search the topic in the wider web, and let Google send you to the page than to use the sites search engine.

that said, not sure actually how its been on the new and improved site (old habits and all)
