When will it happen? or will it come in 5 years with the IRIS T
It will come when ECM is added to the game, which could be this year based upon some wording they made regarding 5th gens and the early tests we saw in the Nuclear Thunder event on the bombers
In the meantime, Im just hoping they eventually fix BOL and overhaul the instructor, both are impacting the Typhoon quite hard
what is wrong with the BOL System? i just know that the flares and chaff are less efective for some reason
Exactly that, both the flares and chaff should be considerably stronger than they currently are.
Flame’s excellent write-up can be read here:
But TLDR: “Flares” should be stronger than standard flares but with a reduced burn time and the chaff should be at least on par with standard calibre chaff.
Soon enough ig. Stuff like ECM would probably be extremely hard to model thanks to them being extremely classified so expect them to be same for all jets. Besides that EFT won’t be getting ECM and IRIS-T alone, other nations would get ECM and next Gen IR missile on their own jets
Dude is still Asking to buff the euro
Im asking for something that is significantly and notably ahistorically nerfed to be fixed.
Especially as fixing BOL buffs a number of aircraft. Including several that are not doing well at the moment, such as the F3 Late, FA2, Viggen D/DI, F-14B, etc etc.
Or shall we just pretend that the only aircraft with BOL is the Typhoon? or that because the Typhoon is doing “okay” with the current state of BOL that all other aircraft should be nerfed?
So yes, im asking for something that is fundementally broken to be fixed? Or is the Typhoon banned from bug fixes simply because people dont like it being good?

It will, however, probably have one of the most capable / comprehensive ECM systems.

Cant wait for Gaijin to nerf the ECM to the worst in the game and buffing in the same time der DIRCM from the Mi-28 even tho its unrealistic af right now
I doubt they’ll go that far, but I can see them making all ECM basically identical, specifically so that aircraft with much weaker ECM dont end up at a disadvantage. Notably Soviet aircraft
How is ECM even compared if we have very limited info about them? What would make EFT’s ECM most capable and how would it compare to ECM of F-35?
ECM will barely have an impact, the purpose of ECM is to deny long range acquisition but given WT maps most radars burn trough airborne ECMs at about 60km ish as such it’s basically useless and not worth it.
Ontop of that most missiles have HOJ mode, which would make notching and chaffing useless.
Maybe in the F4 bracket it can be good, but beyond that it’s useless.
