Different numbers, later ones

Oh, that’s an interesting line:

So EF also has a special rotor blade design and manufacturing process aimed to reduce thermal deformation. Allowing higher temperatures along the whole construction.

Unfortunatelly the time took the photos of what I was looking for

Call me crazy, but I think left to right, the numbers represent the numbers of weapons the respective station can take from wintip to centerline…

0-1-0-1-2-0 for AMRAAM would match the current 6x AMRAAM load plus the additional wingroot ALDERU pylon AMRAAM we’ve been trying to prove.

1-2-0-0-0-0 for all SRAAM’s represents the 6x load of SRAM’s seen in-game.

Its actually tragic the picture is gone.

Same loadout as seen here though:

I doubt the picture would show this loadout, I think it was just a ref

It’s a random website so not necessarily reliable though.

I think the sources are the most interesting part of it

Sparrow on the EF?

not possible

I know, say it to the table

Not possible, during development the Italian Air Force had a requirement for a CW illuminator so they could fire Aspides. But the CWI never happened so any weapons charts you see with SARH missiles is based on early development rumours and is not accurate.

Welp after doing my daily check-up on this thread to see how things are going and if there’s more developments, I noticed a Coping American player in here a few hours ago shame I wasn’t awake.

I even had something ready for them…

Well the DASS display is certainly capable of displaying of displaying those targets, and I cant see any good reason why the radar shouldnt be able to track them


(My guess for the meaning of FLN would be Flanker, so it probably includes ESM as well)

Only problem is that doesnt imply the MAWS can, as its already known that the RWR on the EFT can ID targets and has a precision of sub 1° iirc.

but in range as well? Usually ESM is kinda bad at range estimations, but the display goes out to 40nm (74km). You certainly wont detect missiles at those distances

Maybe datalink info?

C’mon it’s 1 word.

There we go, 1 word 😛

I have a question about the LWR. Does it work in all laser radiation ranges? That is, any laser beam hitting the Typhoon triggers this system? For example, IRST on anti-aircraft systems or in IRST with a laser rangefinder, like on the Su-27? Or only in some specific ranges?
I did not have the opportunity to test this in the game, but if it does not trigger on IRST with rangefinders or TGP, then in theory this should be reported?
