I was surprised when I first looked into its specs too.
It’s a very light plane with a very powerful engine for its weight. That makes it very fast and agile, hence why the Red Arrows used it.
The downside in real life was that it lacked modern avionics, but in War Thunder that isn’t really an issue.
That’s deltaV, because the missile has a sustainer instead of all boost, it’s slower but has more range.
Yeah, should also beat up F-5s and take their lunch money on a daily basis.
There is one tiny thing clawing at me…
I really hope these SRAAMs make it to live
you mean Yellowjacks?
From reading this I was under the impression that CAMM and CAMM-ER’s 1st stage boosters both bring them to around ~1160 m/s, with CAMM-ER then having a 2nd stage booster which brings it up to ~1558 m/s.
DeltaV being the change in velocity provided by each booster, with the CAMM-ER having an additional ~397 m/s of velocity added by the 2nd stage booster.
It states “speed after stage 2” as 1558 m/s for the CAMM-ER, is that not the case?
I believe both used it, when the Yellowjackets become the Red Arrows they continued using the Gnat into the late 1970s where it was replaced afaik
I know i was just being a git. the Gnat was replaced in 1979 with the T1 Hawk that they still use now, (i believe they are meant to retire the hawk in 2029 but there has been no replacement jet announced yet)
Ah ok lol, I’d love to see the Yellowjacket livery ingame when the Gnat is added.
Yeah I believe we’re considering a few options, I’m of the belief that Britain should be developing our own modernised jet trainer, but that’s easier said than done
Well we are still using the T2 Hawk so god knows what we are doing
I guess all the money is going to the GCAP at the moment
maybe typhoon becomes the trainer and we see bright red typhoons in 2030
I’d love to see a bright red typhoon, it would certainly give the blue angels a run for their money
9 of those in formation would be aweomse
would at least make the red arrows a bit intresting again. Ive seen them a couple times and it got old surprisingly fast.
this is from MBDA the makers of CAMM would this mean that the launch vehicles be able to fire the missiles without the need for the giraffe radar
does anyone know anything about this brochure? was it just platforms they suggested could be fitted to use sraam or was it platforms they actually tested sraam on?
SRAAM never actually made it to market. It completed 8 test firings before the project was canceled but that brochure is from BAE Marketing the SRAAM for current and future platforms
For example here is a jaguar that was also marketed with SRAAM at an air show
my it would be absolutely lovely to have a jag with 2 aim 9s and 4 sraam, that would be a dream
Your wish will be granted.
But it’s 12.3.
