Since German Typhoon lacks IRST this tactic is useless for German EFT.
Sad German EFT noises…
It’s not hugely reliable…IRST has no IFF so in ground battles you have to get close enough to ID what you have locked or hunt it down using the RWR.
By which case the targets superior Radar has found you.
It’s a good alternative to have when you might only have IR missiles though.
Change my mind, even tho PIRATE is usefull, but it also just looks ugly xD
German EF looks (Cleaner)

at least we are lighter without IRST it mean we turn better lol
Well I got both German and British EFT and I found IRST quite useful in air rb, as for the ground I just use my RWR to found enemy planes instead of my radar until gaijin fix the radar performance.
Needless to say having IRST is much better than not having.
AMK kit when ))))
It looks much better with IRST :)

Air RB is good as you have markers. With ASRAAM it would be so good!
Yeah a whole 50 kg lighter, which i think isn’t even modeled.
I do wonder when the Eurofighter gets more armament and maybe experimental stuff like AMK if they’ll only go to nation country, like if only Germany gets IRIS-T/AMK and only UK ASRAAM.
I’d hope we all get everything but that’s not realistic.

ASRAAM+Meteor combo would be nice, but IRIS-T+Meteor combo will also be really nice :)
I hope they don’t make long range IIR missiles like MICA IR and ASRAAM too cancer, hopefully at ranges like 10km you can flare them.
Both of them will be cancer thats for sure, especially MICA IR considering it has the same range as MICA-EM but with IIR seeker that can ignore basically any countermeasure system except Spectral one, not to mention unlike ASRAAM it has TVC system which gives you huge advantage in dogfights.
It’s a tough one, based on Gaijins previous rules if it’s in the manual the jet can use it.
Maybe each nation gets everything?
I was joking really but meteor seem to be too extreme right now (and in map size like in the game you instantly enter it no escape zone)
120C-5 probably enough for few years to come
Wont be an issue for Rafale or Typhoon though as their protection systems have Spectral countermeasures.
I also think MAWS systems will make long range IIR missile shots less viable
Wait, do Russians use spectral flares?
This could affect the implementation of IIR seekers heavily.
That I dont know, But the all of NATO have access to Spectral countermeasures and Typhoon currently operates with them.
They can be used from standard dispensers.
Russia use, at least on the Su-57 and Ka-52M IR dazzlers combined with countermeasures
So far only these 2 have immunity against those seekers, dont know if any other plane uses same countermeasure system (Maybe Gripen E).
Can be but until we get our hands on those missiles we will never know.
SAAB love a countermeasure they will have them. Gaijin will give all nations Spectral CMs.
Question is will they be a 3rd type or replace standard IR ones?
I dont think BOL can currently equip Spectral CMs right now.
Good question, possibly it will replace current ones or will give you the choice wetherer you want to use it or not.
BOL itself should be pretty much on par with Spectral countermeasures if im not mistaken.
