The question is. Will we get either?
The community seems to be entirely against aircraft getting a single bug fix. All the people in the BOL Thread with lines like “CAS must suffer” is rather funny, but also really sad. Let alone even mention of A2G buffs
Likewise, we’ll have to wait and see if we even get Aim-120C5s. The Typhoon might be about to officially become the second weakest 14.0 in the game, maybe even the weakest if PL-12 and AAM-4 get buffed
One of these things is not like the others…
Yes, while I am fairly certain as to what the paper is referring to, that is certainly a unique phrase to describe premature failure.
Here I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s really nessecary to state a fixed number of cycles for the EJ200 as this engine has a rather extreme amount of sensors built in and a control unit which monitors all engine parameters in realtime and in turn calculates the wear of the components. So only if a certain value of one or multiple parameters is reached, maintenance or an overhaul is nessecary. It even records the history of that said engine from environment parameters over g-forces to engine settings. This would be called “predictive maintenance” and is dependent on the actual wear the engine was submitted to and not some fixed expected numbers like cycles or flight hours for “this type of engine”.
Ok Typhoon team we need something.
Brimstone 2 does it have reduced IOG drift, are we just cooked until SPEAR 3? How could Gaijin just screw over the EF so much?
This is what Su-30SM Kh-38ML with GNSS will be doing if this goes to the live server.
Where we not refused accurate Brimstone for this exact reason, you would be able to attack targets and they would have no hope of shooting you down…
It got GPS guidance?
Yep GNSS added on the dev
Brimstone 1s should have virtually no drift, with Brimstone 3s getting upgrades to its INS
But yeah, SAL brismtone 1 vs IRIS-T SLM and Spyder doesnt sound fun
It should’ve hit a random house instead…
Unplayable…
Fun for me as wont be playing top tier with this joke of an update
Worth a Try
Looks like the devs do have time for EFT bugs! Theyve been hard at work increasing the weight of the BK-27 from 100kg to 102kg!
Still refuse to replace the worthless practice rounds in all the belts with the PELE-T rounds in the Gripens BK-27. Gripen also seems to be unaffected by the change, cuz I guess the devs havent figured out the Akan M/85 and BK-27 are the same gun yet?
No word on any other bug fixes atm tho. The devs have already put a lot of effort into this MASSIVE change to the EFT, so they’re off to more important things like buffing the MICA again now.
Yes practise rounds in anything other than the default belt are a crime.
Good to see the devs are working hard…
Practice rounds in the default belt are also a crime. Theyre wortless and hit for almost no damage.
Out of the 150 rounds the EFT carries, 37 are practice rounds in all but the stealth belts, which effectively means the EFT only has 113 rounds for its gun unless you use stealth belts.
Arguments I have seen is the practise round clears any fouling of the gun. But I dont think modern cannons need them
The Gripens Akan m/85 uses the PELE-T round instead of the practice tracer shell for the same “purpose” in-game, which gives it significantly more damage.
PELE-T is an insentitive munition meant to provide similar on hit effects vs semi-soft/soft targets like a jet as an HE shell while not having the risk of detonating in the barrel.
So not only is that not an actual excuse for gaijin to use, they already have the correct round on the same gun in-game. They just refuse to give anyone but the gripens PELE-T for some bizarre reason.
If I remember correctly PELE-T only functions as APHE anyway, its not measurably different from the APHE fired from the BK27’s. Might be talking out my arse here but I remember looking over the PELE-T’s when they came in.
edit: yes its just APHE with another name.
are stats same? Gripen’s 27mm mostly makes enemy at least non-combat, but on EFT/tornado it just… sucks
Yes but the issue isnt the missing PELE-T, its the fact the all BK-27 armed jets use Practice-tracer rounds instead of the PELE-T one.
So instead of the default belt being
PELE-T/APHE/APHE/APHE (like on the gripen)
its
PT/APHE/APHE/APHE (everyone else)
Every other BK-27 user is effectively working with 3/4 ammunition unless they load stealth belts, as there are PT rounds in all but the tracer belts.
Yeah PELE-T and BK27 APHE, the only difference is the white tracer.
Typically the only belt the FGR.4 should use in the air to air role is a full belt of DM21 ‘Warshot’ which is pure HE with a PD fuze as per the Tornado F.3 in late service.
