Eurofighter Typhoon - Germany's Best Fighter Jet

The “early” version would just be IRIS-T fired using analogue bus iirc. Significantly limits the missiles capabilities pre-launch. For example, I seem to remember something saying fired with analogue bus, its gimbal limit pre-launch is something like 45 deg (i think its made to emulate an AIM-9L in analogue mode maybe?).

It would make the missile significantly more bareable, particularly if they put it on a terrible airframe like the F-4F KWS LV, as I’ve previously suggested could have been done to make the KWS LV a viable 13.7 during the half year it acted as germanys “top” fighter

P4 is a 4th gen IR missile iirc, same generation as the R-73, and basically every russian IR missile until the R-74M2 I believe. So not exactly first of its kind to be added.

Realistically, the ideal introduction to 5th gen IR missiles would be an analogue bus IRIS-T.

that and an early 9x since it shares a lot of stuff with the AIM-9M, except for seeker and TVC which is what makes it a gen 5 ir

a block 2 9X on the AH-1Z could work too. idk if any of the other modern IR missiles can be put on helis though

I am surprised AIM-9X has not yet already been added on US helis. Usually IR missiles come first on helis before they’re added to top tier aircrafts. AIM-9L and AIM-9M were on helis before aircrafts to my understanding.

i think the reason is that 9X hasnt been put on AH-1Z until pretty recently, and was block 2 instead of block 1 so itd be really good

would be cool to see soon though

Outer Pylons still not fixed

finally a reason to use the ah1z however it would be extremely annoying to face lol

On UK and ITA its fixed, germany still needs to wait

At least you would just die to it suddenly unlike with the chinese helis where you see your death slowly and undodgeable approaching.

No the c-5 doesn’t have a sustainer
Only a high trust booster

Never said it did.

iirc, it has extra fuel for its main motor which gives it about an extra 5 seconds of burn.

Screaming away at Mach jesus for 15-ish seconds.

I did a post on UK thread, but I’ll send it here as well. This thread is pretty much dead.

You call this dead? Let me tell you there is a Italian EF thread.

Well, search is over and I got nothing. The only way to prove it - direct mail to either Eurofighter GmbH or BaE systems or NETMA or Leonardo or RAF. Very sad.


correct me if i am wrong, i now the pic is blurry and its a twin seat EF but it does carry the AMRAAM missiles on the outest pylons where in game you can only fit sidewinder

It’s this jet, no, it’s not the “outest” pylon.

It might be training missile thing. I cant remember what its called, but it simulates a missile being fired electronically

That’s a pod used for measuring stuff iirc.
