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

I still kinda think we could start with CAESAR for a better sense of progression. But it would be a reduced scan zone I’ll admit.

0:35

I haven’t been suffering for a whole year with the CAPTOR-M just for them to add a prototype AESA radar like the “CAESAR” and make us suffer for another year, they’d better add a proper model of the CAPTOR-E.

HUD is still squished

I tried contacting Hensoldt about that but they answered that they didnt answer personal requests, only companies -_-

Im pretty sure its real functional gimbal limits are the same as the other ECRS, but if so theyre really shooting us in the foot with the stated numbers

Theres definitly 200° azimuth scans, but nothing showing 200° elevation (which tbf would be massively overkill anyways). As long as its upwards of 30° elevation id be pretty stoked

Any other changes?

I saw none

I don’t think full 200x200 is a thing. It does not offer anything.

Couldn’t find any difference at all.

And I doubt datamines will show any either

I think after the PIRATE thing there’s no need for Gaijin to further nerf the German Typhoon, have we got any pictures of the mechanism for ECRS MK.1? Is it even a swashplate.

Yeah it uses a swashplate just like the other 2 ECRS, its stated to use a lot of components from the ECRS Mk1 or upgraded variants of them iirc.

My theory on the subject, due to how the ECRS Mk0/2 present their scan zones is that the Mk1’s stated 90° is just the full power zone like the Mk0/2, but since Hensoldt refuses to clarify the subject, I expect gaijin just to model it as a copy paste of the Mk0/2, but just missing ±10° of scan area

Anything of note for the EF on dev?

No.

“Green, what’s your problem green”

Me when I see the “green” HUD tint we have:
green-whats-your-problem

Spoiler

Not to mention the missing UV filter and stretched display ofc

I wouldn’t even call what the Typhoons currently have a HUD tint. More like the screen got damp and some green mould started growing.

Slowly becoming a meme at this point, almost a year lol

Does spear and spice 250 use the same quad rack?

No, SPICE is on Rafael’s own Smart Quad Rack
SPEAR is using an L3Harris rack
