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

At this point, Grom-1 should be added back since the french get their stupid AASM. Still dont know what gaijin was smoking when they decided to add that less than a week after saying air to ground strike aircrafts had gotten much too strong.

Thats another important bit, some sources can be worded weirdly and lead to incorrect understandings (either accidentally or on purpose) which can make unrealistic buffs/nerfs.

Unnecessary doesn’t stop me from wanting it 😾

At which point Storm Shadow might suddenly become a whole lot more palatable.

I don’t know, not a discussion I want to be part of (yet)

I mean, not much would change, look at the ASPRO HMT, they managed to misinterpret that even after doing an entire devblog on it and having feedback on that.

That entire dev comment in the GR4 thread is so funny.

“We cant add better A2G because its already too strong”

adds KH-38s and AASM

The 5 AMRAAM + 4 Sidewinder loadout is possible in game

“Can’t” again?
It seems like yesterday your opinion was leaning from “can’t”, through “can’t go into supercruise on its own, but can sustain” and to “can, but ineffectively”

Hey, AASM is not even remotely as bullshit as Kh 38. Ours is slow and smol 😿

Rafale + 6x long ranged FnF missiles to me sounds like its gunna be a bit of a monster in GRB. Especially as you get hte best of both worlds with GPS + IOG + IR versions

Makes me wonder when Gaijin will give Brimstones at least basic F&F capability.

Yeah… 18x of those would be a tad OP, but even just Brimstone 2s on the Typhoon would be a notable upgrade and needed for historical accuracy

Long ranged if you’re inclined to wait 3 business days. The trail also makes them really obvious to shoot them down, or at least lock them on approach. We’ll see how it works out. Though you can also just point blank them, but they don’t turn good. Hopefully that gets fixed, then they’ll be quite unfair.

As a general rule of thumb, 5+ missiles fired at a PAntsir is too many for them to intercept. Which really screws the Tornado with only 3-4 PGMs

My best ground attackers were Russian, and my other options were tornadoes (you’ve highlighted the issue there), harriers (same issue), or Gripen (even worse issue)

That’s what the data suggests, why would I go against it? Besides, in-game it doesn’t supercruise at all so there is a discrepancy. Why are you focused on my valid position change as I was shown information?

Oh god, just made a terrible realisation… Im gunna have to find or free-up a keybind for swapping between radar and IRST on my HOTAS. I dont think i’ve got any spare binds at the moment

Stick a numpad nearby, it’s the solution I resorted to.

Yeah ,easily done, but would prefer a bind on the HOTAS stick instead. I think i’ve got one for it.

Then you have the 6 wing pylon station units and the centre line station. At the moment only ADHERU (heavy weapon rack) are used for A/S weapons carriage or LDP carriage on the centre and inboard wing pylons as well as the centreline. The ALDERU light weapon rack is currently used on the outboard wing stations only, but I think they should fit on the centre and inboard pylons as well. The MFRL or Twin Missile Carrier is directly fitted to the ALDERU. The TMC is not cleared though, neither is the Twin Stores Carrier (TSC) for A/S weapons. There have been some 20 years old images or so showing DA7 with a BL-755 dummy load on TSCs fitted to the inboard stations.

why use ALDERUs on the Center and Inboard pylons when AHDERU can carry the same things?

Better than my problem:

Having the control to do so but no need for it :')
