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

Can’t fly high with IRIS-Ts and BUKs about ha ha.
they seem very hard to defeat with CMs and more you need to exhaust the energy of the missile

IRIS-T and BUK, no. Though both require radar to reach out far and the RWR would detect that.

But I was thinking more about defending against MANPAD type threats rather than SAMs

yeah. We should have BOL to defeat IRIS-T, but alas… Not modeled.

In terms of CAS power it cannot dine at the table of the other top tier offerings…Hell the new Su-30 has it beat with it’s Kh-29s…

Drives me nuts that Su-30 is the same BR as the Tonka GR4

No I mean those system don’t allow me to fly high or for sure would just LGB them it is usually when you are defending something else or making a run they lock you and you just die.

9Ms and…I don’t know

Yeah…

Ty for the correction on how the mirror scans

Thats because it is and it has the Ratheon 9X contender on it.

Infact its this exact image.

The missile looks a bit weird because it had a Rotate to View seeker, also a 512x512 Detector

Maybe that’s why they considered it 4th Gen? They just went off Detector Resolution?

i mean u can xD currently it is ducked
i would just switch over to the brimstoine

I could see such a seeker design creating issues aerodynamicly with its asymmetry, making missile guidance a more complex issue than it has to be.

I can see why they didn’t went with it

For those who’ve yet to see or vote, one last shilling.

Take a look at my suggestion, vote and comment :).

It’s done for FGR.4 as that’s what I had the most information on.

But I’ll take any support I can get, should the Germans or Italians do likewise suggestions I’m all here for it.

So Rafale just got a canopy tint update and a MFD update, but Eurofighter can’t get the UV filter on the hud?

Did we have gun leading target on EFT HUD? Because last time when I using cockpit view I don’t see any computer guidance on HUD.
