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

Yeah, this is what makes me so mad.

Not even worth equipping on either the Typhoon or GR4 in SB.

People always say “well if you want to play aircraft, play the airmodes” but never realise just how nerfed aircraft are because of tank modes

On the Storm Shadow its just Terminal, a final “Yes I am definetly, 100%, hitting the right target” On the Taurus it can make more corrections and much earlier. Probably wouldnt be a huge amount of differences vs something like a tank, but something much larger, like a ship. it probably would make a fair amount of difference

I made a report for LITENING air to air mode in general,
[DEV] LITENING TGP Missing Air-Air functionality

Now not entirely sure if the report will hold since I couldn’t find any documents that were usable for this so all there is to go off is the Rafael and Northrup Grumman websites and some news articles mentioning LITENING A-A mode. (With a bonus DCS video just to show how it would work not as actual proof).

But since A-A mode is the selected mode in the new TGP MFD screen for LITENING it would be nice for it to get it’s functionality (or some atleast) for all the aircraft that have LITENING.

But hopefully for the Typhoon we get it working for PIRATE natively, but given the disappointing state PIRATE is in currently I doubt we will get it anytime soon. Like - Eurofighter - Missing PIRATE output MFD screen for a start.

I appreciate you using it. Nice green tint edit, too bad gaijin hasnt added it yet

The HUD being more green is because of the skin, right? Because it doesn’t look like that in game

I manually edited it in lightroom with color masking, I don’t think there is really a way to change the HUD tint in user-made camos

I edited it here too:

Aaah it looks really good, hopefully they’ll fix the HUD color along with many other things

God I want HUD tint on the Typhoon so bad. It got added quickly for the Su-30SM and J-11B but they are really dragging their feet with it for the Typhoon.

I think they might have just forgot about it after 6 months-ish, pretty sure there is an internally made report about it.

By the looks of it they have forgotten about 99% of issues the Typhoons have, still waiting on a working gunsight for the HUD.

They probably put it aside as zero priority and forgot about it, and now they’re focusing on the next updates. And since they see it’s piled up an amount of reports about the Eurofighter, they’ve probably left it alone until the winrate drops below 40% or less, they won’t do anything. Because for them, fixing a plane is all about winrate and completely ignoring the community and the forums. That’s what they’ve been showing and justifying ever since the Eurofighter was released.

1000% It doesnt help with the Rafale and Russian missinformation campaigns…

Typhoon is the best dogfighter…Not when you guys have 40G+ HOBs

Yeah. Proper HUD and full Striker 1 (or even striker 2) would be awesome QoL buff. Its a shame its in such a poor state

also was the hud always capped at 8 degrees of vertical scan? i feel like it used to be more, or maybe im just too used to the rafale…

Any chance the JDAM-ER can be used/reported for the dual bomb racks? They do use the same MK-82 body as PW4 after all. Also, whats the name/manufacturer of those racks? I wasn’t able to find anything when searching for it.

(On another note, do EFs use JDAM-ER at all? This is the first time I’ve seen that anywhere)

Nor could I. I think they added them just to give everyone something and compatibility is technically possible.

And with the fake GPS nerfs. Spear-3s would be worthless to add

They could at least made the effort to add HOSBO then, a roughly equivalent weapon the Eurofighter actually tested =_=

Why are they so lazy sometimes?

Yeah, can’t C&P that though
