is the asramm be able to?
or does it use a different launch rail from the sidewinders unlike the IRIS-T

No idea tbh

i think wherever an aam9 can fitt an asraam can.

ASRAAM works on the same rails as any AIM-9M

funny enough im pretty sure the dual rack was a liberty gaijin took because I know the dual rack was for ASRAAMs

the picture of the dual rack we have carries the IRIS-T


and the IRIS-T uses the same launch rail as the sidewinder,
it was able to be fired by the F-4F ice without modifing the launch rail

ASRAAM and IRIS-T were specifically designed to be intercompatible with Aim-9.

fair enough

considering gaijin has kinda just combined all of the EFT variants I wonder if they will all get IRIST and ASRAAM because if they do, I assume the “meta” loadout would be 4 Meteors, 4 ASRAAMs and 2 IRISTs

We’ll have to wait and see. I hope they dont, not only because thats a balancing mess, but also gives a reason to fly more than 1 Typhoon and in SB, it creates asymmetry between FGR4 and EF-2000

I think Italian would get both- trialed asraam and has iris-t. Not sure about british

Britian is pure ASRAAM. (Why you’d want to use the ASRAAM-Lite instead of the full ASRAAM is beyond me :P )

But I can see Italy just having IRIS-T because that is what it actually used. with the disclaimer of “Yes, we know there is a picture with both, but for balance, its limited to just the main weapon it used”

Imagine, an EF with AMRAAM, ASRAAM, Meteor and IRIS-T xD

Throw a few Prox fuse Brimstone 3s in there for good measure

Would literally be prepared for anything
