Not from my testing. You don’t get the IR seeker view for one, and the seeker itself doesn’t seem to actually track anything
Yeah, it’s sketchy. P4T was a proposed cruise-missile version.

The paramaters for it seen across the various descriptions online - TERPROM, penetrating warhead, terminal IR seeker - lead to it being pretty much a non-stealthy version of Storm Shadow.
Storm Shadow is ultimately us stuffing the systems for P4T in to France’s Apache stand-off munitions dispenser.
As such, you’d expect the IR seeker on P4T to operate like on Storm Shadow, where it jettisons the nose cover in the terminal phase and seeks the pre-programmed target image.
But i think Gaijin have already taken liberties with that kind of terminal IR guidance on the IR versions of AASM/Hammer
Weird the radar is there for me, even though it has the IR sea eagles.
Which is fun cause the IR sea eagles don’t appear to get radar info
Yeah that’s what I meant. The 209 didn’t have a radar before this update, so that seems like why it was earmarked for the faux-IR version of Sea Eagle, when it could now use the same missile as the RDA that’s more in line with the read Sea Eagle.
The only variants I can absolutely verify with a source from 1983 are the P3T (Air Launched Sea Eagle) and P5T (Surface Launched Sea Eagle)

Martel
AS.37 Martel - real missile, radar-homing for SEAD
AJ.168 Martel - real missile, TV-guided
P3T Sea Eagle - real missile
P5T Sea Eagle - real missile, 2x Wagtail rocket boosters for helicopter-launch and cannister-launch from Fast Patrol Boats
P4T Cruise Eagle - real project, cruise missile (Cruise Eagle is my AU name)
P6T Golden Eagle - real project, imaging IR seeker and datalink guidance, cruise missile (P6T is my AU designation)
Ship Martel - real project, Martel with an active radar seeker and sea-skimming capability, boost rocket for cannister-launch
Underwater-to-Surface Guided Weapon (USGW) - real project, a submarine-launched anti-ship missile
Interestingly…
Here’s an Indian IL-38 with the Sea Eagle equipped.
@Gunjob do you have the video for the ECRS mk0/2 where it shows the radar being able to update target information outside of it’s scan zone/while in it’s normal scan pattern
This is fake
The sea harrier never carried the sea eagle

Its not in the video but is listed here;

Thanks mate. I must be misremembering about the video then.
(needed it for a discussion about why the pesas of russian planes can’t update outside of their scan zone while nato aesas can)

the required target radius is set to 20m, so unfortunately not. Same as with the Penguin
Starstreaks are still completely useless
They still constantly phase through targets and aren’t any easier to aim
Gaijin really needs to just accept that they cannot model them correctly and add the Martlet to the Stormer and any other Starstreak capable vehicle, it’s almost comical at this point
Someone has any idea of how precise is Gaijin info about CAMM-ER? The propellant to weight ratio is insane, 75kg of propellant and 160kg of full weight
This missile with dual pulse would be nuts, PL-15 according to Gaijin has 66/198 (tho it probably isnt finished yet) and it is said to have 300km of range
Of course im not considering battery time
When Sea Eagle first came to dev it had the same code as the Penguin before being corrected to having a radar seeker, the model hasn’t changed to have an IR seeker and i don’t see why the devs would be concerned about making it LOBL when everything that carries it is outside the BRs of naval?
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d just accidentally reverted it to the penguin copy code somehow

Seems like it might be the case
The IR one and the radar ones are separate entities. uk_sea_eagle_wo_radar_designation.blkx and uk_sea_eagle.blkx
The radar seeker was taken out of uk_sea_eagle_wo_radar_designation and replaced with an IR seeker yesterday in 2.55.0.7
uk_sea_eagle_wo_radar_designation “blame” log ~ lines 98 then 155-177 show the change to an optical-type seeker
2.55.0.7 code diff might need to click the SLAM-ER tab in the menu first, then back on to the Sea Eagle to get it to scroll to the right spot
I’ll get a report up for it. Cheers figured it was a mistake.

So now the soviets have a counter for it, I wonder if we can finally get Brimstones
other nations would need a counter first really
if you manage to get a Typhoon + russia on the same team that would stomp so unacceptably hard it would make BMPT look average in performance
if they gave multispectral smoke, and an Ordinance murderer for most nations (or atleast others, if they even have an option) it might work, but they’d still be very strong
Eh… This is Gaijin we are talking about. Only thing that matters is that the soviets have a counter.
Just look at the last Pantsir
Give brimstone to Harrier Gr.9 and Tonka first maybe, before typhoon.
Just limit the total amount they can carry.
After everyone gets a counter the go ham and give all brimstone capable platforms a full brimstone capability.
