I remember this, I also tried to look for this on the Su-34 MFD pages, and unless I’m blind, it doesn’t show it in the cockpit either.
I don’t understand why the aircarft name doesn’t just show for all of them, since they all have full NCTR.
Didn’t know it had it, thanks for the correction
I’m personally on the other side. I’d rather have better information on where my enemies are, because I usually don’t fly directly towards my target, and with my relatively poor screen resolution and computer (and eyes), it’s actually pretty hard for me to locate my targets. Having the radar (TWS or lock) shown on HMD would be a huge help. As of now, the Rafale HMD is mostly a copy paste of the A10C HMD, which in this case does benefit from this since : A. It does not have a radar and B. They don’t have any other form of IFF (like a radar), so they really need it if they don’t want to team kill half of the allies.
Planes with actual radar do have the advantage of TWS only targeting enemy planes

That is wrong.
The EF has in cockpit NCTR on its radar MFD
Finally found what a friendly MIDS contact looks like in the Striker I HMD, its from the Eurofighter Channel Finnish EFT advert.
I believe this is the correct symbology. Throughout the video, the Striker I consistently uses this set of symbology we know to be Striker I, and I see no reason to doubt that this is also the actual symbology used in the real HMD.

It would also line up with some pilot statements I have seen on the Striker I that were basically saying that it displays all the information that is seen on the HUD
Do we know what PE means?
Position Ejector? No idea haha.
Physical Education, that’s what I remember from english class

That might be the first ever image i’ve seen showing ASRAAM on the TMC

Best I can do is 6 ASRAAM+ 4 AMRAAM.

Is that the TMC or two separate sidewinder rails like on the tornado? Or is that the TMC
Pass?
It’s LAU-115 with dual LAU-127, on an Aussie F/A-18A

You’d be suprised.

Physically, there’s a point where a non TVC, fast missile, can’t compete against slower, TVC missiles with the same G pull. Having insane turn rate at below like 700kph is never going to be the ASRAAM strength, even with its tail fin design. This will go to the likes of the IRIS-T, Aim9x, and potentially MICA to a certain degree.
I would guess the ASRAAM will excel at what the MICA currently dominates, that is 3 to 15km shots, high off bore, plus the fact that multi path won’t be an issue anymore

Could also toss them at absurd hilarious ranges. ASRAAM jumpscare.

It’ll be harder for them to argue that, ASRAAM using tail control is a hard piece of evidence that gives it very high agility and control authority.
Seriously, even little tiny tailerons (imagine something about 2.5cm by 3cm on 30cm² fixed fins) on an amateur rocket that only hits mach 1.3 can make it flip out of control easily. Full moving tailfins with a lifting body and higher speed hitting 50G should be fairly easy.
