FCS and Trunion hitboxes are relatively large tho eh
The trunnion itself just acts as additional armour, it isn’t part of the gun control mechanism ingame
Im not too sure how it works, but Teaz seems to agree with you so you could be right
Too add, I believe I saw someone saying the crew should be 5 rather than 6 earlier, while this is listed in documents it appears that 6 crew members is standard. However, in this video by the Ukrainians they also state it can operate with 5.
at ~16s you can see a round being loaded to the breech with one off to the side, hopefully it helps show what i meant

ah ok im a bit late to the party lol, it would be cool to see them ingame
Probably not as useful as Brimstones but they may come in handy somehow
useful anti heli weapon if nothing else 14 SAL? rockets at the cost of just 2 pylons, not even Brimstones can match that
I guess they could be useful against the new Pantsir with 48 missiles, if you can get close enough
Maybe, probably wouldnt get close enough to employ for that.

Yeah. The length of the pod (extrapolated from the spacing of the bomb ejector lugs) matches the extended 71 inch LAU-131A/A or LAU-68F/A launcher used for APKWS-II. Rather than a regular 60 inch length LAU-68/LAU-131 for unguided rockets
And in other photos it looks like it only has the rear firing umbilical port, rather than front and back ones that the shorter pods had.

And it’s definitely not a CRV-7 LAU-5002 recovered from old Harrier stocks, because those are 6 tube launchers, not 7. They had an intervalometer in the middle where the 7th tube would be.
The USA and Ukraine have proven the utility of APKWS-II as a cheaper C-UAS weapon than AAMs, for the role Typhoon is currently performing.

Do we have any indication as to which variant of AGR-19 / -20 / -21 they are loaded with?
The FALCO (AGR-20F), Is most likely but hasn’t yet been implemented in game.
Typhoon APKWS suggestion is up (for all Typhoon models in game), now we all just hope haha.

It’s just a prac round for the initial testing. Blue WTU-1B warhead.
Would there be grounds to have them added to the FALCO report at this point? As that is the obvious choice for a C-UAS role?
I mean there was always grounds for it, I’ll nudge the report.
Ok.
Gunjob, do you know whats going on with the falcon radar? im guessing its not coming this update now but smin also says it wont get a BR decrease if this is the case?
