The meme will be how gaijin is going to nerf it by heavily limiting its all aspect capabilities. So you won’t be really able to use it for what it was designed.
@oppsijustkilledu @MiG_23M I’ve come across all sorts of bits and pieces from ASRAAM’s development over the years. I’ll do a proper reply when I have time.
Here’s a quick one line answer for now:
As I’m sure you know ASRAAM started as a UK / Germany / US project (with a few other countries at various points also). The nations all placed a high importance on high average velocity. The logic of the day could basically be summed up as “IR missiles have (or soon will have) advanced to a point where if two aircraft enter a dogfight both will probably end up dead to each other’s missiles. Therefore the best approach is to make sure your missile hits him before he is within range to fire his missile.”
That’s just going off the cross sectional area being 70% larger than the AIM-9.

Is the FGR-4 in the T1 Blk5 variation capable of using brimstone? Or do you need tranche 3?
unable to use at T1 blk5, at least.
bad
As you can see, UK gov said “The Brimstone was one of three weapons upgrades fitted onto the Typhoon last month under ‘Project Centurion’”.
article is from 2019, so it will be at least T3.
And we will clearly see the 3rd tranche no earlier than the summer patch of 2025(and most likely it will appear in December 2025)
I just want to use Brimstone from a normal supersonic platform :(
I’m pretty sure.
T2 probably as well…
could be so
anyways we have to be prepared for upcoming EF-2000s
bug reports, skin suggestions, etc.
tbh i dont entirely see the point of adding a T2…
Phase 3 Enhancement (P3E), which is applied to both Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 aircraft.
Were the ITA/BRI Typhoons the only ones to use Pirate IRST?
Been looking through photos of German ones, and could only find 1 photo with the newest Typhoon from Germany having it.
If it doesn’t have Pirate IRST, would it have another form or none at all?
German Typhoons likely wont have IRST at all

I don’t think any of them would have pirate IRST for now though but could be wrong soon

For sure not on these early ones. But for the future I know not to get my hopes up!

If they module these afterburners nicely I’ll be happy

it depends on gajin.
germany keeps the right to equip them at any point if required and we have them equipped on testing vehicles etc
@Morvran and you know about those xD it realy only depends on gajin which they implement

no german fighters will probably ever have it. TPOD in IRST/FLIR mode is better nowadays
