It’s already " balanced"…
And the funny thing with PARS same as Spike “in this game” the sensor optic on missile need to get clear image of target instead of guiding or acquired target by using only optic camera on heli. Well, sorry oot in this EFT forum. But someone just bring UHT issue here…
PIRATE should be able to guide AMRAAM onto a target, which would be very helpful with being sneaky, especially in gamemodes like Sim as you could track a target and get into an ideal firing solution without the target knowing and then firing.
PIRATE is also suppose to filter out flares, which makes it ideal for maintaining a lock in a dogfight on someone actively defending, enabling for the rapid lock and fire of Aim-9M or (when fixed) AMRAAM in a dogfight.
PIRATE should also have a much higher range that it does now, so could be used to find targets at long range and lock onto them, enabling the above AMRAAM launch (though in sim, this is limited due to no IFF, but the tpod in the PIRATE should lock onto the IRST lock, really need to work on that report). Should also provide both the range of the target and the ability to operate like a TWS, tracking up to 200 targets (though without IFF)
Also should be able to provide the pilot a thermal vision view

Compare it with French top helicopter please, before state…
Different configurations. Same (even better capabilities)
I didn’t know about those 2 features, but they fix my main issues with IRST.
It would be a welcome addition then.

This factually with the data from its performance in game. Once again, a key feature of the UHT was not having a gun. If you have evidence to suggest an experimental version that did, a suggestion can be made for that separately for consideration. But a gun is not planned for the version of the UHT we have in game, as it did not have one.
At least the reports for the outer pylon dumb rocket pods / gun pods and the extra pars launchers could finaly be looked at those are nearly over 2 years at the least as well, while i think the old site had those reports for quite a while longer as well.
Still wrong aircraft for the thread

While we all admit the gun was never mounted (if it was classified). However, there exists a certain missile it could be given for capable self-defense.
And it does not need any imagination to be mounted.

ok make a suggestion im here to read about typhoon not helicopters
“Can’t” balance when there’s no data to balance ;)
I almost always used IRST on the Mig29G, once you use the 2 radar missiles, slaving the R73 with IRST is extremely useful.
It also doesn’t alert someone when you have them locked with IRST, alerts them with PDST
Im sorry mr entitled.
And yeah the suggestion already been made.
I think we should remove HMD/MICA from Rafale and Brimstone/9M from German EFT. That would be fair enough.
take a hint it means that you’ve done everything already so shh
Should we be able to slave tgp to radar?
I saw some articles that it can but idk if maybe only with the aesa radar or what.
There was no buff other than angle gating which all other missiles also received.

thank you for this clear summary
at least we know now that some of these aren’t bugs and just ‘missing features’

May i ask if there are any plans to add/model the distinctive IRCCM capabilites of the 9Li-1?
Iirc its supposedly better than the 9M
And the german Aim-9f (improved aim9b is also supposed to be better than the standard 9b.)
The biggest buff to the Michaels has been the fact Rafale’s radar is straight up superior to EFTs atm, by virtue of CAPTOR-M being modelled like Blue Vixen for the most part, missing ‘features’, TWS straight up not working, and scan speed being way too low.
Alas, they’re also vastly superior in ‘CQB’ ranges, and aren’t a slouch at medium-range either.
Fix EFTs radar (I propose to copy paste Rafale’s AESA code into EFTs CAPTOR-M) and Michaels will cease to seem to be better.

its an improved version of the improved version(haha).
comparing it to “the AIM-9M” is not exactly fair to the 9M as there’s multiple version of the 9M with different IRCCM capabilities just like the L/I(-1)
