Can someone on dev confirm deployment of multiple spice 250s tracking independent targets simultaneously from Typhoon? Cannot drop more than 1 from Gripen.

it dosent let me drop even a single Spice on the EF

Are you sure? I also thought I was experiencing this, but turned out it dropped if you confirm it with bomb tracking camera, just provided no feedback on the topic.

ok

so it drops a single one but it dosent seem like its tracking anything and after that i get the symbol for the seeker being locked onto something but its drifting around
this one:

Right, yeah. Same happening on my end, and I couldn’t find it in the changelog. The bomb does go towards the target and does secure hits, but even with it functioning, the fact only 1 can be deployed at a time kills the utility.

it seems that the issue is with MITL munitions

the HOSBO still works fine on the EF
and so do the Mavericks on the F-15E

Yeah, that’s what I was leaning towards.

yeah same happens with the KD-88 for china, both the IR and TV variants

The bit that left me unsure was it also impacts spice 1000 for some reason. Doesn’t impact PGM 500s, which you’d have expected it to have similar issues to spice 1000 given PGM 1000 has issues. Just very peculiar.

leftover copy paste code if i had to guess

i dont know tho because i dont have anything with the spice 1000

The radar + TGP with SPICE250 is bugged, you lock the spice then the cross hair flicked randomly to the POI (changed by the Radar)
This bug has been on-going for months and months now without any acknowledge/fixing.

This is unrelated to radar. Radar issue is a distinctly different fault.

Which brochure is this because i can’t find anything to do with even top speed

And for reference in game at mach1 SL launch already at 25km its faster to impact and impacts at twice the speed

The “double speed double range” Orbital ATK one

And what does that even mean?

So I have seen the Alpha Jets are getting a HEDP round for their DEFA cannons, any chance the UK could get them for some of the ADEN cannons do you guys think? I am thinking specifically the Hawk trainers to help bump their tank busting capability.

AFAIK both cannons can use the same ammunition, and its not like the basic Hawks have a CCIP to guide it like the Alpha Jet does.

it doesnt get much clearer

everything else about the missile’s design points towards it being faster than legacy AARGM or HARM as well

i mean it could
is it double the average speed or double the max speed

but the range is pretty clear

when they just say “speed” its almost always top end unless specified otherwise.

the bomb rack thing is extremely clear too yet they denied double rack AARGM-ER

That is completely your imagination. It has no meaning
