it was a retrofit for the 9M-8 so i think it was before 9X hit IOC with the Navy. Either way its explicity stated to be for the Super Hornet specifically so there is probably more to the ASRAAM integration costs than politics
IIRC, didn’t the Super Hornet have separation issues with various munitions?

That would explain it
EFT also had NCTR on its radar btw, just like Su-30SM. EFT also had TWS HMD although not as good as Rafale, but definitely better than anything else but Rafale.
If that’s the case let’s remove many vehicles armament,see how stupid it is?
I also have both Typhoons so i couldn’t care less, as for Ground Rb I prefer Leo’s over fatass Challengers anyday.
Just like ASRAAM,Brimstone,Paveway IV, Meteor and other things?
Do you really think you got the edge? Because I will happily trade Ir missile with multiple capabilities.
Not in the cockpit, that was the point. Only the su30 has MFD NTCR
Not sure what you are talking about ? Rafale doesn’t see radar contacts in its HMD be it TWS or anything else, only IFF ?
It did tho, here’s the screenshot
Some people consider Rafale IFF was superior in sim, I can agree with this, but let’s not forget that EFT is the only aircraft known (in the game) that have TWS in its HMD (Which is IFF but for the enemy lol), which I think still pretty superior than any other aircraft except against Rafale (in IFF).
Dead link/URL?
Yeah, sorry, I have fixed it

I remember this, I also tried to look for this on the Su-34 MFD pages, and unless I’m blind, it doesn’t show it in the cockpit either.
I don’t understand why the aircarft name doesn’t just show for all of them, since they all have full NCTR.
Didn’t know it had it, thanks for the correction
I’m personally on the other side. I’d rather have better information on where my enemies are, because I usually don’t fly directly towards my target, and with my relatively poor screen resolution and computer (and eyes), it’s actually pretty hard for me to locate my targets. Having the radar (TWS or lock) shown on HMD would be a huge help. As of now, the Rafale HMD is mostly a copy paste of the A10C HMD, which in this case does benefit from this since : A. It does not have a radar and B. They don’t have any other form of IFF (like a radar), so they really need it if they don’t want to team kill half of the allies.
Planes with actual radar do have the advantage of TWS only targeting enemy planes

That is wrong.
The EF has in cockpit NCTR on its radar MFD
Finally found what a friendly MIDS contact looks like in the Striker I HMD, its from the Eurofighter Channel Finnish EFT advert.
I believe this is the correct symbology. Throughout the video, the Striker I consistently uses this set of symbology we know to be Striker I, and I see no reason to doubt that this is also the actual symbology used in the real HMD.

It would also line up with some pilot statements I have seen on the Striker I that were basically saying that it displays all the information that is seen on the HUD
Do we know what PE means?
Position Ejector? No idea haha.
Physical Education, that’s what I remember from english class
