Might be due to the fact the F-22 didnt have an HMD until very recently. Ill try to find the quote, but i have seen an italian pilot say that with missiles its basicly no-contest in the merge, but a gunfight is quite different
If I remember, the cockpit had no space for most hmd
iirc the planes hardware/software was too proprietary to integrate any of the HMD’s on the market or something, I think the US govt twisted LM’s leg once they realized that even though they killed the program 10+ years ago, they werent gonna let the F-22’s retire, which lead to the F-22 upgrade program
Brimstones will be assembled and maintained in Germany

I wonder why theyre running AMRAAM on the wing pylons but not the semi recessed ones…
typically they carry meteor on the MELs and then AMRAAMs on the MFRL

But can they carry Meteor on the “MFRL” pylons?
yeah ofc
it can do aim-9, asraam, meteor, amraam, iris-t

Sure but they dont have any missiles on the semi-recessed at all, so unless they were doing test firing or something, it just seems odd, not really a big deal tho i guess
I look forward to this immensely, do you have similar docs on the Rafale?
who knows. could be anything really.
the MFRL will be mounted either way so might as well use it.
One day, maybe this jet can and will save Germany top tier :(

If were gonna bring up Eurofighter trailers, theres only 1 that should really be brought up until WT actually adds the EF2000 imo:

This with the Tornado will be amazing.
The condensation on the the EF2000 wing looks so damn cool, hope they’ll add that too one day

The EF2000 delusion here is nuts, we all know the Snail won’t let the minor nations have a good vehicle. ;)
