As I’ve said before even Paveway’s gettin dropped in subsonic speeds in order to prevent accidents.
Tho its always nice to be able to drop your guided bombs when traveling supersonic in case heat rises up :)
Back to the roots of dropping bombs from planes.

I’m impressed you managed to fly high over the enemy spawn when they have BUKS and Other SAMS.
I would have likely been engaged by a new spawn Su-30SM2 and died or one of the SAMs would have shot me out of the sky.
Either way cool to see it working :)

That was merely the proposed location back in the 2000s. Before any actual integration work was done on fitting a targeting pod to Eurofighter.
It was still the intention to use TIALD as a TGP for Eurofighter at that time, and modify the hardback on it to fit the AMRAAM recesses. But ultimately things were done differently and Litening, Damocles and Sniper have all been carried on the centreline

I believe that might be a TIALD pod on an AMRAAM launcher. Not entirely sure if they photoshopped the weapons or not though.
Edit: They are photoshopped.

is it just me or does that look like dcs, it’s so over sharpened
That shadow on the right looks incredibly wonky… Or is that a watermark?
It’s not DCS as the photo came from an archived copy of the RAF website in like 2003 or something. However it seems it is indeed a composite image. Here’s a breakdown from the guy who was commissioned to make the image for BAE Systems: Peter Russell: Digital Darkroom

I wish they strapped some Zunis and Vulcan gunpods to EF. That would have been a lot of fun.

Apart from a couple of the Italian F-2000A camos, the engine sleeve now looks matte grey instead of bare metal on both the ECRS and Captor-M Eurofighters
Ye, but i wait for them to change the label

What’s the CEP of Paveway IV in game? I feel like it’s much larger than it should be. Last I heard it’s 2.5m(?) but I had one go like 50m from the point I tried to drop on.
It seems AMK was confirmed to enter service in the future.
