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

MAW is simply just not working properly, it’s detecting missiles incredibly far away but fails to detect them sub 9km in most angles…

What missiles are hitting you and gameclip by chance?

Also trusting MAW to save you was you’re first mistake

MAW is literally the only indicator that you’ve defeated a missile, with 100 missiles in the air all at once you can’t exactly rely on your RWR can you?

I can pray lmao but do you have clips.of your EFT MAW cause i did some tests and of the MAWs on all aircraft we couldn’t find anything wrong

I’m not sure why, but I’ve yet to actually encounter any problems with the MAWS at the moment.

In fairness,.it should always work. If there is a missile in the FoV of the MAWS, coming at the jet, it should always give a warning. If it’s not for whatever reason, the that is a problem

Gunjob begs to differ :D

Had my share too with a R-77-1 coming full frontal (not outside the MAW FoV) and not getting a warning until impact. I didn’t react to the RWR because there were like ten MSL-contacts coming from that direction.

Testing can only do so much its not always going to give 100% replication so i can only do so much especially when i wasn’t given anything other than maw not working with 9km

Different question: Is there any way to disable the auto-switch to CCRP (or rather the automatic placing of the target point)? Every time I cycle through the weapons to the bombs it gets activated again and I can’t drop dumb bombs without hitting “Alt + Backspace” first. It’s incredibly annoying and cost me my plane or ruined a perfect bomb run more than once.

should be this setting

This is a “set a key” option for me lol

are you in your controls or the normal settings?

Ah, normal settings was the option ^^

just got the MiG-29 (top) and noticed something…

Both of these for a side aspect MiG-15 at 3km distance… You’d think the return from the typhoon would be more precise, not less? Might help to reduce the perceived clutter as it’s often unreadable. (It is worth me mentioning the actual solution would be to just give PIRATE its TWS but… eh)

what makes you think the return for the EF is less percise?

you are getting a stronger return with the EF compared to the Mig-29

The return is larger which is usually (maybe skewed by my experience with earlier radars cause Britain doesn’t have much for IRST) a sign of poorer return accuracy.

“ASRAAM has full ‘Lock On Before Launch’ and ‘Lock On After Launch’ operating modes.” doesnt mean data-link?

It’s possible IOG.
