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

What is the difference between the mk1 and mk2? I saw some sources saying that the mk1 uses GaN, while the mk2 uses AsN and GaN.

mk1 has lower gimbal limit as well compared to mk2 and mk0

In game, the only difference I’m expecting. If there is any difference at all. Is that the Mk1 can only do ±90° but the Mk0 and MK2 can do ±100°.

MK0 & MK2

I don’t really understand the full IRL differences enough to explain

It’s going to be mk.1
Puts a crisp 10 on the counter

Mk.0 is the CAPTOR-M backend so can’t do the fancy combined modes. Mk.2 is capable of A2A, A2G and E-War at the same time.

I believe Mk.1 lacks the combined E-War elements that were added to Mk.2. But since Germany intends to put the first batch of ECRS Mk.1 on their new Eurofighter EK’s and then later to the rest of the fleet. I suspect the E-War focus is solved by the fancy Arexis jammers.

I mean, we have the information from ESUT + the BW which kinda makes sense )

The ASRAAM seeker operates in the MWIR band which is typically defined as 3-5 µm. So I guess it has a little bit of a buffer.

Yeah but simultaneous E-War and Search/Track modes is what ECRS Mk.2 does.

From the video we know it can jam and guide the missile onto a target at the same time. Dunno about search.

Wonder which version of E Captor were getting tho

Would gaijin go out of their way to specifically give the MK1 to Germany compared to Italy and Britain to gimp them?

I suspect any addition of ECRS would follow the versions each nation is going to use, ECRS Mk.2 UK/Italy and ECRS Mk.1 for Germany.

so germany legit gets shafted on their typhoons again lol

smh german MoD


we can only hope it comes with the Mega-Phoon, that or Meteor lol

i remember Italy only has an order ,but no typhon equipped with ECRS mk2

fake?

Eh, surely our Sources are enough to get the Mk.0 ))

If we now take the Response from the BW, it matches with the Post from ESUT using the Mk.0 as an fast gap filler while upgrading it later to the Mk.1
