nice I still need to grind for it just cant really be bothered to play the Grippen lol

The grind was actually not that bad, 2x 9M + 4x R-Darter works good ))))

Now I have 2 from 3 EFs…

Now you’ll be able to play the Good Typhoon :P

Just Talisman the GR4 :P

I dont have it since I didnt see the point originally the Harrier Gr7 kinda carried me lol

Just because the snail is to lazy to modell the missing IRST (weight) in the FM of the German one…

But didnt they have a ballast instead in the German Typhoon? That way the aircraft balance wasnt affected by its absence?

No clue on that,
But for sure it would result in an better airflow ))))

Considering this image shows a 90 degree bank, would there be any issues considering the current ±45 degree angle implementation of the MAW with maintaining the actual track of the missile? I’m concerned that it would just immediately drop the MAW warning the moment you bank out of angle like it does currently

It’s the RWR providing the escape zone, you don’t need the MAW for ARH/SARH.

Does the system not work with IR?

I’d imagine it can for sure, but you don’t need an escape vector with IR, either you beat it with flares or you don’t. That’s modern IIR combat.

Unless it provided the necessary vectors for getting BOL into the optimal place to block an IIR missile.

I wonder, are you still searching for sources or just havent got the time to write it yet?

I don’t think that’s true in all scenarios

You could defeat longer range shots kinematically …

So, is striker 2 used operationally or just planned?

December 2024:

BAE Systems is already developing Striker II under a £40 million contract announced by the UK Ministry of Defence in September 2023 which will see the helmet undergo flight trials in the coming months. The latest investment will fund the next stage of development, ensuring the helmet achieves a production-ready standard. - Source

So, Id guess not in service yet, but has either undergone flight trials or is about to.

Shouldnt have any intergration issues with older aircraft, especially current Striker I users like the Typhoon

Striker II has been specifically designed to allow for easy integration across a wide range of platforms. It’s compatible with aircraft that have analog display drive electronics, via a low latency converter, and has a digital interface for aircraft with digital display drives. Its comprehensive list of features work together seamlessly to provide pilots with unmatched awareness. Most importantly, the information is displayed in an intuitive way, allowing for a natural response in what can be the most challenging and unnatural of environments.

BAE Systems can provide complete HMD System solution using the Striker II, or work with customers to integrate Striker II into existing aircraft architectures on an Open Architecture basis to give customers the freedom and ability to develop their own symbology/display formats, and provide optimized aircraft mounted hardware solutions. - Source

You can see what it looks like in this:

Edit: According the BBC, it has a planned finished development date of 2027

The firm aims to finish development in 2027, with production starting soon after. - Source

and according to this tweet from January 28th, trials have started, including night flights

Which should be more than enough to get it added to in-game.
