Oh, great news here. You can actually hunt MI-28s with PW4s, for me it works better than brimstones currently. Also sometimes there’s a bug where game treats a bomb like it’s a wall, so helo just self pulverizes and it’s being counted as him just crashing, lol. Fun overall.

When we first got Paveway II I killed a number of Ka-50’s with it. Was funny seeing it kill kinetically without exploding then popping off ~50m behind the helicopter.

I thought I’d share that to prove a point. By the way it has an added benefit of making them ponder their decisions while looking at locked helicopter in the hangar afterwards.

What range are you throwing paveways at helicopters ha ha
I’ve hit many in the buccaneer and the Jaaaaaaag and Tonka. It’s not impossible
Spoiler
1.14km apparently xd
Speed: MACH 1.21

Retiring the Typhoon cannot even get close enough to toss Paveways IRIS-T system and a BUK CAS is cooked. Even ran to the edge of the map and when I went to engage IRIS-T Missile hit me from 40+km bear in mind I’m on the deck and no MAWS/missile launch warning too so that was great.
Skill issue
Probably, So you could offer advice
Wanna try evading IRIS-T in a custom game? I can help
Switch to French tree.
Might take you up on that, pretty busy this week but yeah thanks
Hey I like a challenge would feel dirty having that much power!

Typhoon Radar, is doing me dirty in ground battles, not seeing jets flying low even though I’m on the deck. Just really poor again, couldn’t find an F-16 yet the RWR can, couldn’t see an Ah-64 yet the RWR could and couldn’t lock or see a Su-30… 9km ahead of me. Gaijin need to triple the RCS of that thing in game it’s a joke it can sneak past a modern Radar system.
Tried Narrow scan, slightly wider scan set to 30km (or whatever the exact number is)
Doesn’t find targets I am more likely to spot them and then lock them using ACM or HMD against a Rafale or even a Su-30 you need to see them at the same time or you lose.
If we are not going to fix the Radar can we at least have the RWR locating targets for the Radar, that sensor fusion thing Gaijin talked about?
They should also fix the TWS tracks with datalink. Sometimes tracks will not be updated but generated as new tracks (discarding the old ones) causing the fired ARH missiles not to update their trajectory consequently missing their target.

It’s also happened to me on the 8x8 maps, since they’re so small but extremely wide, using the radar at a range of 37 km (23 mi) with the conventional 30x8 search mode makes it quite uncomfortable and busy to identify low flying targets while also keeping an eye on incoming SAMs, or enemy aircraft.
That’s why I usually switch to the 60x4 mode to get wider azimuth coverage, but since the scan frequency drops so much, most of the time the radar either struggles to get a solid lock, locks onto the wrong target, or by the time it does, the enemy is already within close range.
Basically, you end up relying on your RWR and your visual to use your HMD/ACM.
Besides, 99% of them are flying Su-30SMs and Rafales since they have much greater offensive capabilities thanks to their air to air and air to ground armament, and makes them much easier to identify since they’re equipped with AESA radars.
Hey but here we are, flying the Typhoon just because I like it

I genuinely dont use the larger scan pattern but might have to try it.
I suppose it’s frustrating as you said im trying to dodge SAMs and fight jets when the Radar fails you.
