Pretty sure, if the radar target turns off, it flies around in the air for upto 2h waiting for it to turn back on so it can reacquire the target and strike
ALARM doesn’t fly around, it slowly descents on a parachute. And the loiter time is something like 3 minutes, not two hours.

I’d love to see the footage, but I highly suspect you just mistook a Rafale or even a naval LCA prototype for a Typhoon.
Typhoons are just not designed for that, they have neither the necessary undercarriage, not the systems to align easily
When i first googled like 2 years ago, it states it flies around for upto 2h in circles before striking the target (which i dont think is possible tbh). In comparison to the US one that just well falls out the sky when it looses the target
EJ 230 is fully developed? Typhoon already has good kinematics, imagine with these
Yep, I think this is a video of it
just never installed on an actual airframe as far as I am aware, it was considered an expensive overkill i think.
But yeah, Imagine AMK + EJ230s

It would be interesting to know if the EJ230 or any other further developement uses things like structural ceramics (for the combustion chamber or any other of the hot parts) or CFP (Carbonfiber reinforced plastics). The EJ200 doesn’t use any of these AFAIK, so it’s still a “full-metal” engine (except for the obvious TBCs on the turbine blades but these are not structural ceramics). Could enhance power and efficiency without sacrificing lifetime too much while at the same time reduce engine weight.

Anyone noticed, that, instead of ignoring flares, the AIM-9M now locks onto flares if the target is flaring during the aquisition phase before launch? It should keep being SRC (or switch back to it) until the target plane can be locked on solidly. But currently you can lock flares and fire at them.
In front aspect they’re unusable as flares force the seeker-shutoff to be constantly active as they keep being inside the FoV for so long. Combined with the extremely short aquisition distance in front-aspect (nearly impossible above 2 km) your chance to land a hit in front aspect are close to zero (except the enemy isn’t flaring at all).

When playing SB in the Typhoon, sometimes the RWR doesn’t detect the opponent’s ARH. Is this a bug?
Also, in SB, when a missile goes pitbull, it disappears from the radar scope. Is this because there’s no two-way data link? I hope that when it’s upgraded to 120C8 or 120D, it will be able to display the same way as in RB.
yeah
it shouldnt.
for me it doesnt
Hey guys, it’s been a while, almost two months since I last checked this forum. Any news about the Eurofighter?
Soviets have pantsir as free spaa in grb, that’s all you really need to know.

It looks really good, but when you aim at the ground with the sun in front of you, it looks like this. Is there any solution to this problem? It doesn’t happen on the Su-30SM or the Gripen.
Eurofighter custom HUD UV Tint
Su30SM HUD UV Tint
Gripen HUD UV Tint
no there isnt because it is a hacky solution instead of proper HUD tint

How does it look away from the Sun though?
