@Gunjob Any chance of getting the 2x TWS GMTI modes named differently to each other. Like calling one “TWS SEA” and the other “TWS GMTI”
Kinda confusing when trying to cycle through the modes as to which mode you are actually in and thats before you are trying to do it in the middle of a battle
Good for when you need to see what’s in front of you ha ha
and the Tpod still doesnt slave to the radar, so that is pretty worthless addition for anyone playing SB
And why am I not surprised that the F-2 TGP can focus on a radar target right from the release, while the Typhoon’s BUILT-IN camera still can’t do this? Although the current state of the HUD is quite an answer.
Typhoon has truly been cast aside by the devs, but hey a new missile…That is better than what we have?
120C over 120B? I’d say 10 percent max. Maybe less.
Oh nice atleast this bug got fixed
[DEV] EF Typhoon (All) AIM-120C-5 name on HUD/HMD bugged
Still got a few more bugs that have been accepted during this dev server but still broken.
[DEV] Eurofighter Typhoon HUD is not centered
[DEV] Eurofighter (all) artificial horizon bugged
[DEV] EF Typhoon (all) NTCR on MFD bugged
Eurofighter FGR.4 TGP MFD Tilted to the side
Not to mention the tons of other reports for the cockpit from when the Typhoon’s first got added.
Wait, so its not even a “this isnt a feature of a fixed wing aircraft” its just staright up a bug for the Typhoon?
What exactly? I didn’t quite understand you.
If the F-2s Tpod will cue to the radar lock, then clearly its not a mechanic that only helis can have.
In the past they’ve said stuff like “the harrier gr7 cant get MAWS because that is a heli only mechanic for now”
So I assumed that maybe the Typhoons Tpod not cueing to radar lock was the same. But if the F-2 can do it, then the Typhoon should be able too
It works on the rafale internal camera that’s for sure.
However whenever the radar target position is outside of the camera limits of the in built camera (or Tpod if installed), then the camera lock will fix itself on a GPS point in the last seen location of the camera, and you need to deactivate the target point.
Does it straight up just not work for the EFT ?
Doesnt work with GMTI vs ground or naval targets
Doesnt work with PIRATE and radar lock
Doesnt work with PIRATE and IRST lock
So yeah. Doesnt work in any mode or with either camera
I’ll make a report for it.
Much appreciated
Does a report need ot be done for slaving PIRATE and Litening III tpods to locked targets as well?
PIRATE to slave to TWS report is in already, unsure if we’d need another for LITENING.
Specifically for GMTI lock though.
Having the Tpod lock to the radar is a huge buff for the Typhoon, especially with the SAL brismtones.
In gamemodes like SB, without that, the GMTI is basically unusable as you have to manually search for the target in the tpod anyway
Would be just as beneficial in the future for other aircraft too, like the Tornado Gr1/4.
For example. If I want to engage a destroyer in ASB. I could find the target on radar and it would display in the HMD/HUD. But Id still have to manually point the Tpod at the target and lock onto it. Which I could have done without ever using the radar in the first place
If the radar cued. I could lock the target with the radar, fly over the target and drop PW4s onto it without ever “leaving the cockpit” to have to mess around with the tpod. The QoL upgrade is rather massive.
In GSB, it would be more hassle than its worth even swapping to GMTI in the first place
As I understand it, the only winged/glided air-to-surface weapon the Typhoon has is the StormShadow?
MAKO is also being considered as a possible hypersonic missile
Taurus for the German Typhoon isntead of Storm Shadow
Spear-3 has just been test fired, so thats another option
and I think the Germans trialed HOSBO or HOPE? I can never remember the name
Both. HOSBO is the one with modular warheads (in theory at least, no idea what kind of warheads ones were ever made/tested) and HOPE is a bunker buster
