in return for much worse flight performance

Could be any.

T2+ can be upgraded and its semi-irrelevant anyway.

But best guess.

Current Typhoon will remain with its current loadout.

So this new one will initially be:

  • CAPTOR-E
  • Maybe better A2G (Brimstone 2s?)
  • Maybe Litening V?

In the future I guess it will get:

  • ASRAAM/IRIS-T
  • Aim-120D
  • METEOR
  • Brimstone 3s
  • Spear-3/Spear-Glide
  • Storm Shadows / TAURUS
  • Marte-ER
  • Striker II HMD
  • New Cockpit?
  • More CMs
  • AMK?

Yeah, those too, couple them with Storm Shadow

I stay on Tranche 3 :)

Same in all directions, ±100°.

This is how the repositioner looks in action:

Thanks!! So basically the Typhoon could see the entire map

Not exactly, it’s max scan is probably gonna be 120/±60 or ±70 degrees as that’s the max electronic scan

cant wait from them to add the new typhoon and its radar be genuinely worse then the current typhoon

Just the fact that is ESA makes it better than an M-scan, even the worse ESA’s we have dog the non ESA.

I mean Captor M was suppose to be the mega radar for the old series and look where that went… took what half a year or more to get it in a somewhat decent shape

Impossible, it’s gonna have the fastest scan rate in the game (from the current fastest 200 degrees a second on su30sm to 560 degrees a second on the eurofighter)

gaijin will find some way to cock it

That’s clean! Looking good

“Game Engine performance doesn’t allow that. Denied.” - gaijin probably

I mean, thatd be a bold faced lie, and a stupid one to try when I’ve already got it working in-game… but I wouldnt put them pulling another “marketting lie” passed them

Idk how they’d pull a “marketting lie” this time though, since the source that was used to give the CAPTOR-M its 70°/s is the same source that gives CAPTOR-E minimum 560°/s iirc, and 560°/s is actually already likely considerably slower than the CAPTOR-E is irl.

Tbh I just wanna see how they model radars that go past 90 degrees. For example, will they allow radars to have a scan that’s larger than their electronic beam steering limit, or not? Currently they don’t on su30sm, but if they do…. Would make planes with this type of array very meta in wt
Edit*
Essentially what I’m saying is that eurofighters largest scan angle will be ±70 degrees, as that’s likely the electronic beam steering limit.
I don’t think it will be ±100 as that requires mechanical steering as well.
In the su thread if u click on that, I go over why with examples

Pretty sure the reason the su-30sm doesnt have the gimbal limits of a gimballed Bars is cuz it uses the fixed/locked variant, and has nothing to do with gaijins modelling. You keep repeating that its some kind of modelling issue, but ive literally never seen that being said by anyome else, much less a dev.

Respond to me in da su thread, don’t wanna go off topic here
