Can anyone make a report on AIM-9L/I-1 for Typhoon? If of course there are relevant documents

LITENING III doesnt override the onboard optics

Made a bug report for the EF2000 (tho id assume the other typhoons are also having the same problem) where if you bring LITENING pod and use brimstones, paveways or anything else that has laser lock, switching views will first put you into the onboard optics view with limited FOV instead of the LITENING pod resulting in the missile/bomb losing targetting due to laser designator being out of bounds of the onboard optics despite the target being in bounds for LITENING pod

Just spitballing. But Germany has a habit of just naming every version of the AIM9L as “9L” in their documentation.

We had the same thing happen when the F4F KWS was added. We had to really “fight” for getting the 9LI. I assume it would be a similar fight for 9LI-1 now.

It’s “technically” not a bug but IMHO has a significant impact and should be changed.
[DEV] Eurofighter Stock Loadout position should be change

The positions of the stock AMRAAMs make both IR missile modules irrelevant until you unlock AMRAAMs themselves since you can only put more missiles on the same hardpoints.

Yes, but the British also use the same designations in their documents, as the Germans.

Additionally, if anyone needs information about the engines, here it is:

Is Typhoon supposed to have ~868kg/min [434kg/min per engine] fuel consumption on full reheat near mach 1?

Spoiler


Note, this is a Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption of 1.8, which makes the TSFC correct to EuroJet claims.

eh I wouldn’t say they’re primitive, that’d be wrong in several ways

they just didn’t have money for research for 10 years and are thus behind

they tried catching up with our help before the recent political thing that I won’t mention which kinda stopped that

@Sahilku010101 Can you add a poll to your opening about reverting the supercruise nerf?

9L/I-1 is officially under consideration for the Eurofighter

Yet they believe statements from Dassault about Super Etendard:

Does that say it can auperceuise at M1.18 ~10975m in an interceptor configuration or is the image translator wrong?

@Flame2512 @Gunjob might have an exact config, speed and alt to test now depwnding on the validity of this sheet.

Marschgeschwindigkeit - 1.275 km/h in 10.975 m Höhe bei Horizontal- flug (als Abfangjäger) Mach 1,18 Höchstgeschwindigkeit

Translates as “fighter-interceptor”, so I think yes, but it’s better to ask more savvy people

If im understanding it correctly, its clear proof the EFT in WT is underperforming in supercruise, this is the screenshot from the bug report:

Note, the loadout in the pic has 2x 9L + 6x AMRAAM with NO fuel tanks, and is underperforming the document by M0.18

I’m almost certain interceptor configuration is 2x SRAAM 6x MRAAM and 2 fuel tanks.

Whats the source from?

as an native German, its correct
Abfangjäger are 2 words together

Abfang = can be translated to Intercepter
and Jäger = Fighter

Well, I am not a native German speaker, although there were Russian Germans in my family a very, very long time ago)

And besides, in school and college (not institute or university, if we take European logic) I studied German in English lessons and answered in it for fun 😅
