Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 2)

its not the gimble limit though it’s data link. The Radar is saying the target is there and the missiles are pulling sufficient G to hit the target. AAM 4 pulls more G than a 120B and PL-12 should be an Aim120C equivalent.

Which is something Typhoon can’t do, it can’t sit in the notch and send missiles :(

Big fan of the unbelievably bad pixelated numbers

The Su-30 can’t sit in a notch either, but you have a small window of launch opportunity while turning cold, then radar loses the target and no more launch.

Don’t worry you’re not alone
Gripen can’t too yay we stuck with Garbage jet thank to gaijin

You are pretty much in the notch like the Rafale the missile and Radar are far more capable.
So while you may leave the notch to fire a missile you leave it by a small amount compared to an AMRAAM.

The R-Darter ones can…Just a shame those missiles have a 5km range ha ha

Still cant believe they didnt add a Gripen NG…Yes the cockpit would have taken time to change but for gameplay purposes more power, more hardpoints and a better Radar would have been a massive boon

Muh I can’t even call that thing ARH
It just out right stupid worse ARH in the game
Not R-77 that Russian main love to claim.

I know it’s so bad, to miss the glory days of Gripens slinging 9ms and instead have to compete with Mirage 2000s with MICAS and F-15 Amraam spam was a bad time.

It was independently reported for the MICA and R77-1. I guess reports are needed for each and every missile to get this. However, seeing the SLAAMRAM, this should be possible for the 120C, but would need a report (that’s using the VL that this was reported for MICA)

They just ignore Typhoon reports bud, 120C will get it as the US use that missile now.
Typhoon will end this update with no buffs excluding an MFD change.

it is the first dev server it could very well still receive them

You know how easy it is to add a weapon to a jet…you change a line of code
Typhoon might and I will be here for the I told you so.

Just wouldn’t bet my house on it.

The feature is a LOAL one, so all fox 3’s should have it.

This feature visibly needs individual report for all missiles. As I said above, it should be easily reportable for the AIM120C, but I don’t know for the other. Seeing as this has been specifically reported for the R77-1 and not the base r77, it would seem as no, maybe not all ARH missiles should have this specific mechanic.

Urinating in the wind my friend

Yeah… Probably, pretty clear the devs forgot the Typhoon existed this major

Su-30 has a PESA and CAPTOR-M is not “closer to PESA Radars in function than mechanical radars”

PESA radars have much faster beam steering (Stated to be 400 microseconds for Bars) than mechanical ones, even CAPTOR-M …

“Priority track” is not such ground breaking feature either … Even APG-66V2 had it IRL …

It sort of is

It’s a PESA radar + Mechanical repositioner

Sort of like CAPTOR-E (Which is AESA + Mechanical repositioner)
