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

Spoiler

Also they could improve the RWR design in game

"In theory, you can lock with the LTP by selecting the target on the RWR

Spoiler

And also has the same feaure as the Gripen C RWR right? Showing the range of each target

Should it have an X when empty instead of a 0?
(Or potentially just means its not selected, but that would be very weird.)

Also, a mention of “black flares” at 12:40, what’s that about?

I believe there is a report for this already. Ive also seen it displayed on the HMD before, but I Think that was Striker II not Striker I

Nice. im not sure how much confirmation we had on this

I just wish we could use the in-cockpit MFDs in place of the generic RWR/Radar screens in ARB.

At least be able to have the RWR pulses also displayed on the HUD and HMD

yeah, its not even something they havent modeled before. If nothing else GR7/T10 have it

  • out of my head the F/A-18 Late have also RWR in HMD

Oh nice. Then yeah, Striker 1 buffs here we come :P

In the F/A-18Cs the RWR is displayed as an Circle, the direction its comming from is Open + you have an indicator where you are currently looking

It took them 9 months to include the IFF symbology in the HMD and the radar width symbology in the radar MFD. I hope it doesn’t take another 9 months to include this

We’d need the RWR actually able to create trackfiles (or at the minimum conclude a location instead of a “general direction” that gets ruined by manoeuvring) and be stabilised to the horizon instead of just functioning as a circle relative to the jet for it to even approach displaying on the HMD…

Back to that, Gaijin broke it with Tusk Force…

That is correct it should be an X when empty, it still shows the ammount of your armament even when not selected

Yeah TGP does not want to lock helis. Embarassingly died to an MI-28s chin gunner…
Trying to lock it up.

God I want MFD slew controls so bad. Would be peak combined with this if added.

But the Typhoon doesnt have sensor fusion :P

/s

Might be a shot to lock with the IRST and use the auto slew to just work off that.

Im now just guiding manually when it comes to Helis they are usually arrogantly hovering.

That or the gun

that MFD picture seems to be taken from an EF with the AESA looking at the gimbal on the RWR screen

…interesting

the EF is at 10° azimuth and from 270° to 10° it is 100° of radar gimbal

Another interesting point is that the DASS format isnt displaying the current radar elevation coverage compared to its max elevation despite showing all other info the DASS format typically displays, potentially suggesting the radar has full elevation coverage

DASS format, elevation coverage shown on the right:

like you mean it just automatically sweeps all 120° in elevation at all times? not surprised really, feel like all ESA’s should have this ability considering their ridiculous scan speeds
