Looks like hmd is missing quite a lot of stuff. Was doing a deep dive into finding out capabilities of captor m and instead came out with probably a lot of bug reports for euro hmd lol
what is that source btw
Yes, it can, Striker II is designed to be fully backwards compatible, with a wide range of aircraft with a wide range of capabiltiies.
“older eurofighters” is largely irrelevant for a lot of things, the only real exception that I know of is T1 Typhoons cant be upgraded to CAPTOR-E.
Typhoons have been conducting operational flights with the Striker II for multiple months now. So could be added anytime.
I think Gunjob has a suggestion in for it
Yes, which is another reason we are kinda annoyed by the Rafale. Things like IFF DL is somethign that was reported 9 months ago, but still not added
Lemme find it again, I have it some where (it’s not da7 manual)
Okay I’m dumb it seems to be striker 2 not striker 1, disregard it
i know, that one looks different

@Gunjob do you think we can for the Eurofighter expect once the patch goes live to have its actual UV-Filter also working from 1st person or VERY low Priority and we should be happy if its fixed around Christmas?

God I hope we get it but I wouldn’t hold my breath for it.
Made a report for the HUD tint/UV filter the first day of the dev server but nothing has come of it.
[DEV] Eurofighter Typhoon HUD tint inaccurate
MFRL on the twin mounts?
Yes as you can also see in game, they are MFRL’s.
Rail compatibility is already established, but weapon system compatibility has not been confirmed. In addition, the weight limits of the twin adapter are not publicly available. While ASRAAM is relatively heavy, AMRAAM is significantly heavier, and it is possible that the twin missile carrier cannot sustain high-G loads when fitted with AMRAAMs.

That’s where you started being wrong - taking any specs of ru vehicles for granted.

Frankly, it looks like a balanced solution at the level of “we wanted it that way”.
As with the Su-27SM. The only references to placing four missiles between the engines that I found relate to the Su-35 (Of course, on the Internet, I’m too lazy to go and “dig” deep in search of miniature parts for Russian technology. Even though I have an ideal command of the Russian language.). As for the Su-27SM, I only saw references to 6 missiles, not 8. The J-11A, which is roughly equivalent to the Su-27SM, does not have 4 missiles between the engines.
There is also a report (Community Bug Reporting System) that the pylon for the double R-77 missile holder should be wider than the one modeled in the game. I do not rule out that the pylon in the game is modeled exactly so that it physically fits into the space between the engines.
Now here is my IMHO without proof - if the LAU-115+LAU-127 can handle carrying two AIM-120 located at such an angle, then the TMС with MFRL should not have problems with this. Visually it is almost identical, does not look larger, for increased strength, and the angle is either identical or close to identical. Again IMHO - I think it is just a balance decision, because the snail considers it too strong, despite the fact that it is half-blind. Until now.
This is roughly my opinion.
P.S.It seems to me that it is easier to wait for ASRAAM. Then the question of installing two AMRAAM on the second pylon from the edge will disappear as unnecessary.
And what is ASRAAM heavy in comparison to? It is only 4 kg heavier than AIM-9L/M. Quite typical weight for an IR missile.
Although I do not exclude that ASRAAMs will appear on block 15+, and the current block 10 will remain with 9M, although if I am not mistaken, 9M were only on early machines before block 5

i mean it’s official information, you’re gonna say that they just lied? that’s so dumb. and it literally still points towards captor m being much better for its size (600ish kg n011 vs 200 kg captor m) and the flanker radar barely exceeded it. just because of raw power flanker radar is better
it is su-35S/su-35 only. not even su-30 can have it. it’s fanfiction of how any flanker other than the su-35s having dual racks. (the engines were literally placed slightly further apart to accommodate the new dual racks) if su-27sm can have it then i dont see why not eurofighter can get similar things as well.

Marketing lie. This is not possible with the Typhoon. It’s a different story with the Rafale…
