The seeker looks pretty similar to Brimstone;
I think the IR stuff is just rumour or just plain wrong. Multimode clearly just means SAL/MMW just like Brimstone is multimode with SAL/MMW.
At least it wouldn’t surprise me as laser designators work with lasers in the near infrared frequency range (780 - 1400 nm). So developing a SAL sensor which can be “dual purposed” to act as an infrared sensor to some degree shouldn’t be too far off…
Could it be that they screwed the TWS mode on all planes royally? Stuttering target boxes, wrongly detected movement vectors, not updating target boxes correctly (while the Fox-3s target circle locks onto the right target ironically), many ghost targets (for radars which were fine before the patch), not detecting targets well within range and moving towards you, etc.

Do you know better than military manufacturers?
Maybe it just looks similar. And I think it’s not exactly the same Brim.
I think he was claiming that the Brimstone Launcher can be used as AMRAAM launcher from what he was replying to, which is even more dumb.

maybe people are confusing it with storm breaker
Anyone had the chance to test out the new FM (or radar) on the EF?
I have heard only bad things from other topics, but I want to be hopeful.
Nope, very bad news
That is not what I wanted to hear
Sorry friends the turn rate has been butchered, don’t expect to defeat even a Su-27SM now
Radar is much better though
Speed is similar, roll rate is still poor and we still don’t have a UV filter!

Huuuh lol ?
EFT is still among if not the best dogfighter even after the FM change. It would still need a bit of testing to compare to other vehicles but it did not suddenly got from best to worst top tier dogfighter with just a slight FL change

The nerfs are to the AOA and G the airframe can pull this has impacted the instantaneous turn rate.
I was killed by a Su-27 that managed to get the nose round quicker when previously it wouldn’t even be a challenge.
Nah, rafale, and su30sm now take the crown
It pulls so little that it’s kind of like an f-16 now, you can’t bleed enough speed turning on AB at low alt, you need to engage the brake or let off the gas to get more turn rate.
is the tvc still as ridiculous as it was on the dev?
Pretty sure it got buffed
