Its not planned currently. The Tiger UHT doesn’t require this for balancing.

Well Rafale definitely didn’t need the extra MICA for balance purposes… It’s already arguably the best missile in the game after the buff.
And IRST is a much bigger balance difference then smokeless sidewinders, so why can’t we get IRST for so-called balance purposes?
The question on IRST has been answered countless times now. This is not planned to come for the current German EFT for now. Currently this appears to be going in circles.
Todays update was regarding the radar reports. Nothing has changed on the IRST situation.

No wonder barely anyone plays it then.

Well only really top of branch without turret…

Id kill for the FnF AGMs that it has on the Teapache (due to Pantsir performance (and actually most SPAA deal with Helis fairly well at top tier) and the effectivenss of ARH for killing Helis. I rarely seen anyone in any helis at top tier these days)

What benefits does IRST have?
I’ve never thought of using it in any of the MiGs I’ve played, and I’ve had it cause issues with my radar randomly switching to IRST in a lock.

But currently UHT already in bad state when come to close A2A combat where stinger didn’t work against target around 2km that keep spam not only gun sometimes with FnF A2S missile. I dont see any “Balance” here compared to other Heli at same BR.

Because it balanced. You couldn’t do anything if enemy close to you…
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
