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

Not at all. We know Brimstones were integrated and we have no information to suggest Brimstone dual mode is not compatible with a carrier that has Brimstone 2 integrated.

Comapred to the AMRAAM pylon, which currnetly is not even clear if it existed or has been fitted.

Stock / inventory has not been a required consideration. Such as the case with the F-4F and AIM-9J or the Thai Alpha jet gunpod.

Alternatively.
Pgms, Hosbo, spice 250.
Out of those PGMS and Hosbo have proven testing firing on the eft already and acknowledged.

Its just take gajin realy doesnt wanna take a stance on the matter.

PGMs have IIR seekers as well and shiuld be implemented like the KH38MT.

It just looks like gajin has a grudge against the eft, and purposively keeps its capabilities down

I need that sound modelled for the gun.

I love a nice cracking punchy sound. It’s why the GSH-30 is probably my favourite sounding gun in-game (oh and its great to use too IDK why the Gsh-23 continues to be used in half the planes it is when it sucks).

This is a lie, Indian f3r shares a lot in common with f4.1 standard.
It directly takes stuff like the spi3 pylon and the 4.1 irst and such

Played the Typhoon a bit today, just to kinda round up the kills and grind the swiss Mirage, jeez, radar was literally tweaking so bad, had to rely on HMD a bit too much for comfort.

I hope an ESA Typhoon isn’t that far, maybe for december patch.

Even then hmd sometime requires like me to press the keybind like 5 times to lock an enemy

Yeah idk why, I remember a time when the HMD got a locking buff, and it felt quite nice, but now it looks like the patches in between broke something again.

There are lots of photos of Brimstone 1 fitted to Eurofighter, even if it was not used operationally.

That is not even a single mock-up of AMRAAMs on the inner wing pylons.

The idea seems to have been briefly considered at one point or another, then dropped.

When was PGM tested on Eurofighter? Completely missed that.

thats the report i remember Community Bug Reporting System

That’s really not an equivalence though. AIM-9J existed in a period where F-4Fs were equipped with other Sidewinders in German Service and 9Js were operated by other Phantom users at that time. Meanwhile Alpha Jets were operational in other countries with the gun pod at the time Thailand was operating Alpha Jet, and the pod had been used on those jets in German service before they were delivered to Thailand.

Eurofighter didn’t have any Brimstone capability at a time where DMSB was extant, so at no point was there ever potential for a Typhoon to use one. They were all gone before it could happen.

Are AGM-65As available on things like F-16A? No, they’re not and it would be silly to do so because they were replaced operationally by the AGM-65B long before Maverick capability was added to the F-16 with F-16A Block 15/OCU.

I had just an round where I had to press the HMD lock 12 times, for an clear target 6km away, which was above me…

Radar is really my only complaint with the jet.

I’d like them to add a DA airframe amalgamation with RB.199s at 13.7 with just 120B, give this one CAESAR and then later add another one called Eurofighter (Centurion) or something with ECRS, Meteor, ASRAAM etc. To somewhat reflect the jets design development cycle.

Not sure why you’d remove Brimstone 1s from the Typhoons anyway… there’s no reason to.

MAWS too for me, in the matches I had today it was giving directional warnings that were completely off.

I’ve had a Su30 shoot ET’s at me that I easily dodged and the MAW was still screaming at me for minutes lmao.

To replace them with Brimstone 2s?

Or just leave them there when Brimstone 2s get added next year or later.

They are 12 months overdue. In the absence of MMW, we should have had Brimstones 2s on the GR4 from the get go

Because the only area where it’s dominant is export to countries who don’t know what they’re doing so when it lies lifeless on the ground and smoked by TEMU rockets they can blame the customers for not knowing what they do.
