Heck, if we never get ASRAAM or IRIS-T I doubt most would ever take more than 2+6 or 4+5 so Gripen E would almost certainly be stronger than the Typhoon if it were to come with no buffs for the Typhoon

Maybe it’s just my screen or an AMD thing or whatever, but it’s bugged as hell for me, doesn’t show anything correctly, targets appear outside of the scope area and it’s just completely useless across the board. provides no useable info.
well i cant talk about the EF specifically becuase i only have the german one
but i didnt see problems like that on other planes with IRST
(e.g. Su-27Sm, Su-30, Rafale, Mig-23, Mig-29)
maybe someone else in here can help you then,
good luck
I never seen it before on a airframe
I think it was only used on the prototypes and maybe on the F2, but was withdrawn from service in 2007/8 and Brimstone was largely designed to replace BL755
I cant think of any reason why a BL755 would have any different mountings to any of the unguided bombs the Typhoon can already carry in game, so should be possible, if there is a source somewhere for it having it at least at some point
As part of the 2007 Convention on Cluster Munitions negotiations, the RAF agreed to remove the BL755 from its inventory by 2008. Its role has been replaced by the CRV7, an air-to-ground rocket with such improved performance that it is effective even in the face of the ZSU. (Source: Wiki)
Yeah, rocket pods for CAS and dealing with personel
Tornado Gr1 prefered weapons Courtesy of Gunjob
But CBUs were the prefered weapon for dealing with tanks, AAA, etc. So prior to Brimstone, if a convoy or a group of tanks needed killing, it would have probably been done by Tornados with BL755. Afterwards it was Tornados with Brimstone.
I think there is a doc somewhere that says it too.
I think those are BRU-61 or maybe some newer version of them
I think they are BRU-61
Would make sense to adapt the BRU-61s/adapt the Spear-3 to the BRU-61 that the F-35 can already equip to carry Spear-3s rather than developing a new launch rail just for the Spear-3

Yeah, I read something about SPEAR 3 while looking at UAI stuff
This is for BRU-61
This one specifically mentions SPEAR 3

I know its brochure but I do wonder if we will see dual meteor pylons in the future on the EFT (irl not in game)

Maybe, I think this is Eurofighters offering to compete with F-15EX. There seems to be a push to turn your four gen fighters into missile trucks for your 5th and soon to be 6th gen fighters to queue up those weapons over datalink.

Thats more credible than the source for the Kh-38MT…
I joke but with Germany stopping Typhoon sales to Turkey…We probably wont.

true I know the UK and Germany have rather large EFT fleets and dont plan to fully replace them with F35s so I can see this happening but we will just have to wait and see. (Im not even sure if the MoD went through with purchasing new Trenche 4 EFTs or are just gonna continue to modernise Trenche 3 and Trenche 2s)

If the call for huge missile loads comes I’d expect it in the next defence review. I don’t think there is currently a huge push from customers for turning EFT into a missile truck like F-15EX. I suspect we don’t have enough Meteors in stock to make this a realistic option… yet. Things are developing at a rather rapid pace in the European defence industries at the minute.

mhm just gonna have to wait and see what happens lol not much more we can do then that
Pretty much, we unfortunately live in interesting times. So what’s untrue today might change drastically in the next 6-12 months.

Germany never planed to use the f35 as a EF replacement.
It will only be used to phase out the remaining tornados in the German AF

I said they didnt plan to replace the EFTs the UK bought F35s for the QE class carriers and so far we have only ordered F35Bs so I doubt we are replacing our EFTs
