The gun is still there tho. In a serious situation, they would just shoot through the cap and for training, its simply unscrewed

Gaijin thinks that the larger improvements to the F-5E in 1979 over the standard 1973-1975 models would increase their turn rate from 13 to 18 deg/s, a 38.4% improvement with just 7% more wing area. (which is obviously not true as outlined in my reports that they’ve coped about and denied)…
If they do similar beer math for the Typhoon with the AMK kit it will be quite the monster.
I have no doubt, especially with how they modeled the Gripen that the EFT will severely overperform - even if we think it’s already going to be better than most things in the game (I don’t share that opinion…)… but such is life with this game.

I didn’t reference the F-18, there is no issue with my sharing of opinions in this discussion. It’s a public forum.
Please follow the rules.

Here i think i found the video u mean
to be honest i think german eurofighters will get irst like the other ones considering that dcs has them modeled on german typhoons too, so i hope it will be like this
just saying but DCS does not have an official Eurofighter yet
The official advertisment clips show them without IRST

I believe they use a plastic cover to improve stealth that is shot off when the cannon is fired

How bad is MiG-29 and Su-27 FMs are in the game rn?
Afaik its being modelled off of a Luftwaffe service one without IRST.
yeah, pure Air superiority version, they said later on they kinda wanna release a multi role version with all/ the important features
Yea excactly the one from JP
Remove Stealth and add Aerodynamik than you are right
what aim 120 versions does italy use?
once again, i am gonna say it does not matter.
Gajin will equalise them
Besides that there is a eurofighter italy thread as well, just as there is a UK one
I don’t get why everyone is so hung up on the IRST.
Yeah it is somewhat useful. But the germans won’t get as much milage out of it as the brits.
Since the HMD can be slaved to the missile seeker like in the f16c and the short range of the iris-t. The irst is much more useful for it’s range than it’s angles.
So it is much more useful in combination with the ASRAAM anyway.
The PIRATE IRST can be used for guiding AMRAAM without giving any RWR warning to the enemy (until AMRAAM goes active)

At what ranges?
And how useful is it in WT where the RWR is oversaturated with signals anyway?
I think even without IRST the german typhoons will be fine.
tho irl it can also just use datalink to guide in an amraam without rwr warnings
