there is no prove it is smokeless in the first place.
thats why they dont see any reason to add the more advanced variant
We could inform the developers that due to the lack of PIRATE, the German Typhoon’s mass should be 55 kg less than that of the British and Italian Typhoon.

Jesus christ… its like that for months. It would solve SO many issues for flankers its insane.
Is it possible to push it to devs again @Gunjob ? It cant stay like this, its utter BS and goes directly against how radar works.

Hopefully after they correct the empty weight from 11.300 kg to 11.000 kg for real this time. So 10.945 kg for the german EF.
Would be a great addition tbh. It’s quite a long time since profile icon for Germany added mostly it’s Rus or American or between those two
This is less of a decision on their part and more of a bug.
Before this bug, radar scan patterns that did not behave like "barsOneWay" = true would not have that line included in their scan pattern code, because that variable was set to true by default (they would only have "barsOneWay" = false line, if they had to change the default).
After that summer patch, the default behaviour of "barsOneWay" was changed to false (I am guessing). Consequently, since almost every scan pattern does not have that line explicitly written out, they all started to behave like "barsOneWay" = false. The F-4D is one of the few exceptions to that, its radar currently behaves like you describe radars usually scan, simply because it had that variable explicitly set to true.
BTW, this is the reason some ground radars started spinning back and forth. The fix was just adding the lines in scan patterns explicitly.
Thanks, mate. I was afraid this would go into the “radar is WIP” pile and be forgotten.

I mean, its a bug they created and left there unattended even though is so visible. Anyone knowing bare minimum about radar should see it and know that its wrong. Guys doing radars at gaijin should be perfectly aware of this.
What
We know that 9L can use a smokeless motor ATK - International Products
And if they don’t want to give L/I-1 then they can give us 9M. Italy never used 9Ms and they got them.
i deleted the comment at that point because i noticed he answered to another comment xD

in stock from their av-8b+
its not their main missle, but they did have them in stock

Community Bug Reporting System - this 100% proofs, that EF can use amraam or another missles in inner pylon. And without secret doc.
ALDERU+MFRL = absolutely same outer pylon where missiles already available

That’s the neat part, I have not really seen anyone talk about this apart from my own rambles, lol.
Iam thinking about starting new bug report. I would like to use F-15C non-nuclear weapon delivery manual but i have no idea if i can use manual from 79 with 81 revision as there is nowhere to be seen unrestricted/unclassified but there is no restricted or classified either.
Send the front page to a tech mod and ask them if it is fine to use.
What do you want to report?
Wrong bars, again. Because it looks like it wont get solved with one report. 1F-15C-34-1-1 has nice illustration of scan so i can attach direct manual evidence and then copy paste video you found. Scan pattern is not usual in old manuals like on phantoms. Its all in more modern ones, usually classified or restricted. Typhoon manual has amazing illustrations of pattern AND priority target track but it cant be used on forum.
IMHO It’s quite simple.
I don’t think anyone is disputing that German Eurofighters carry/carried AIM-9L/I-1 right? So that’s not even up for debate.
The Devs stated that the RB74(M) that the swedish Gripen has is meant to be the AIM-9L/I-1 right?
So the German Eurofighter should get excatly that missile copy-paste as the AIM-9L/I-1.
If they want to revisit if that missile has a smokeless motor later on, fine. But for now germany should get that copy-paste for the Eurofighter.

That makes too much sense, now it can’t be added.
I think there were already reports on F-15’s scan patterns on the community bug reporting platform (from when it was added and had a bunch of this wrong about it). It is just that one bug screwed most planes over.
In my report I attached the MiG-29s manual as an example and a cockpit recording of F-16’s test flight with the radar scope.
If you can’t find any sources in old bug reports and can’t use the manual, you might find that info in videos or research papers, if you are lucky (that is how I nerfed F-16’s scan speed, lol)
