it was made in a couple of months to be deployed quickly
they could’ve fitted 4 on there 100%
What about muh Blue Circle, or my Violet Club
Speaking of Violet Club…
One hundred and thirty four thousand steel balls…

for better or worse?
Went from 6 rounds per Clip to 3, and from 1s reload to 0.8s between Clips.
Instead of having 6 round clips with longer reload now it has 3 round clips with nearly no reload while aced (0.75 between rounds and 0.8 for clip)

ahhh thats nice, also means u can switch clips quicker
It also means you get 2 good rounds and a dud in the default clip (so 33% HE now) which is better then the 50% dud rounds before, but still it would be nice for them to make the default belt be AP only with a HE clip as its own thing.
Maybe since ARH missiles are around the corner now is the time for you to share the materials on SuperTEMP you mentioned previously so we can discuss potential fixes for that missile… perhaps if it won’t be fixed we can get AIM-120 for Tornado

I think the hope is for a second Tornado F3 to be added. Something like the Tornado F3 FSP at around 12.7 with Aim-120Bs or C5s and leave the current F3 at 11.3. Could then additionally recieve Aim-9Ms

or ASRAAM
Thats a little bit too advanced i don’t think the game is ready for IIR missiles yet
That would be the correct IR missile for the F3.
Should really be Aim-9M and Skyflash STs or ASRAAM and AMRAAM
But somehow im doubting ASRAAM on the F3 anytime soon. Im guessing ASRAAM on something like the Tornado GR4 long before the F3. It would also increase its BR unncessarily.
Assuming the Gripen gets ARH.
That would mean a BR increase in all likelyhood, leaving us with nothing in the 12.0-12.7 range.
Sea Harrier FA2 at 12.3
Tornado F3 FSP at 12.7
Harrier Gr9A at 12.0/12.3 depending on loadout
would fill that gap nicely
Well we can almost guarantee that as they are testing it with R Darter
People are barely used to 9M they won’t be happy when we jump to the next level
Im guessing ASRAAM will have the same flare resistance of SRAAM in game. So it will be fine
A bit of a RWR rant here.
The SPO-15 (for now only on the su-27) has received two features on DEV:
- Signal strength detection
Spoiler
this per say is obviously not a new feature for the game, but it’s kinda funny that they added it for this somewhat crude system, without first fixing it in for example the British F-4J
- Elevation determination
This one seems to be a totally new thing, and I’d like to know if current British, or for that matter any other RWRs in game could benefit from that feature

Do we know if the seeker is a CCD, IIR (FPA) or has a dual channel capabilities?
The Stingers seekers use a Rosette scanning technique, thus is a pseudoimaging seeker (similar in methodology to a (Wisk type)Scanning array, but without discrete pixels, since the seeker processes though the scan pattern continuously), which would allow for basic IRCCM via rise time detection of flares, and potentially reduced rates of sampling the edge of the field of regard (via changing the pattern when flares are detected), and so replicate FOV reduction(See patent).
The FIM-92B and later variants utilizes a new array design that splits the IFoV(Instantaneous Field of View ) image between two detectors that are sensitive in distinct bands of the EM spectrum(in the Stinger’s case; MWIR & UV), thus providing the ability to use the contrast image to additionally determine the emission profile of a black body(Wien’s displacement law )emitter, and thus make a determination on if it is a countermeasure or not, and so disregard them if the are not matched closely to the airframe. The FIM-92 RMP (-92C) and later allow for the AURs to be non-destructively rapidly reprogramed to account for new countermeasure designs.
As a proper Imaging seeker the main difference for the ASRAAM is likely just that most of the functions would be discretized, with no otherwise major difference in capability. Though performance is certainly much more impressive, and it can pull a few neat tricks like potentially ranging the target passively and using more advanced guidance laws that allow for much more efficient flight.
Earlier ASRAAM used IIR FPA. Block 6 got a new seeker that we know nothing on(or at least i cant find anything). There is also a thing about it having a bigger computer on board that works on rejecting countermeasures compared to for example 9X but i dunno about that.
