Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 1)

Right, exactly.

Which means we need to wait until they are added alongside everyone else.

It seems that asking for something that no one else has yet is a big no-no for the Typhoon.

We wont get Spear-3s until everyone else gets equal or better. Meanwhile KH-38MT exists without equal.

Its a fair statement in the use of SAL weaponry in contested airspace is more effort than a FnF weapon. Its not a complete mischaracterization. I don’t that stretches past that exact scenario but be charitable and assume its about employing weapons such as Brimstone.

I like to play F-2000A with Centauro I 120 and utilize this to the max. 18x Brimstones is my preferred loadout.

I mean 18 of them would be funny, but the warhead requires a direct impact to kill, so you can’t cheese bases with them as you can test the effectiveness of that now by hitting a base with 18 Brimstone, it does basically nothing haha.

Almost always the right loadout, as you can also abuse helicopters.

strongest use would be in SB to snipe base AA but even then the limitation of the TGP being 20km it would basically be the same as the GBU-39

SPEAR-3 isn’t a KH-38 class of weapon, they share almost nothing. You need to stop with the whataboutism and strawman arguments.

Should you wish to discuss the merits of SPEAR or Brimstone that doesn’t need to include a diatribe of “but muh KH-38” commentary.

Nah, the only concern in SB would be score-farming accross map by firing at the AF from the AF with CCRP. Even though they do little damage, they would still generate score

Yeah, also way more stable. Yesterday i played with Raf and wasted an AASM because it has quite low lock on range against helis. I also gound a bug that makes it hard to lock onto targets with 3rd person. Meanwhile i have no issue eith that with Brimstones.

Then what is a KH-38 class of weapon that the EFT could actually get?

Typhoon ASRAAMs?

and even forgetting about GRB for the moment, which unfortunately takes prescedence for any discussion of A2G weapon loadouts. Having a spammable GPS weapon like GBU-39 would open a lot of doors for the Typhoon in ASB, but nope not here yet and the Tornado GR4 is limited to the same gameplay as the tornado GR1 because it has no Brimstones *(that can be used within that gamemode)

Limit is 30km now, and you can use map SPI (just gotta really zoom in for that good placement).

Just wish we had the correct Brimstone 2s that had decent range, speed and prox fuse for dealing with them.

I find if the heli has LWR, they dodge the Brimstones most of the time

We don’t operate that kind of weaponry so nothing.

would the airfield AA show up on the map past 30km? also didnt know they upped the TGP to 30km neat

Unsure, I’d have to check.

imagine if we would get the proxy head capability, intercepting of pantsir missles made even easier

So then its back to asking for SAL-Only Brimstone 2s, SAL+GPS Spear-3s and MMW to be modeled.

All of which has thus far been denied (been asking for Brimstone 2 for the GR4 since the dev server)

well gotta hope for HOSBO, its the closest we are getting

That is somewhat your devide dependent. For example for me they appear <10km. Sometimes even <2km. I do have a Potato 5000 tho.

in ASB?

dont think so and I dont think you would be able to target it accurately enough, would need a DH to get a kill. Still could be used at 30km for that, but just spamming them at the AF for score farming would be their main use like F-15Es do with GBU-39s currently but they have to actually get close
