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

Honestly getting the AESA EFT now feels a bit wasted. No new missiles, no better A2G capabilites, its just the same plane with a better radar. Just so we can then grind a new version with IRIS T, ASRAAM and meteor next year

F-15 may get amber racks too.

Im guessing the AESA version will get IRIS-T and ASRAAM and Meteor. etc etc.

A bit like how the SAAF Gripen C was added before Fox-3s and then moved up when they were added

im gonna hope the AESA version will get the cutting edge missiles while M-scan keeps the current (AAM) loadout

Then it would be a nice stopgap. However that would deprive Gaijin of forcing us to grind another 420000RP so ill be sceptical until i see it lol

Hopefully they folder it, but seeing the F-15GE, I dont thing it will happen…

On the other side, the 15GE got atleast some new CAS Options…

We need brimstone 2 in this meta

Or the finnish F18C lol

My hopes are they just integrate the new ordinance directly onto it and push it up.

Atleast on that you get HMD when before no HMD

I hope it looks like this in the dev, UV tint, proper artificial horizon, not stretched HUD, light up buttons

What am I looking at specifically

scan patterns for the Captor-E

specifically the fast pattern with a 0.04s period that covers the entire arc of the Typhoon’s radar limits, both vertical and horizontal

Edit:
oh i lied it’s 100 degrees horizontal, not 200… but it does look to be 200 degrees vertical? 80 bars at 2.5deg/ea gives 200 degrees.

Completes the scan pattern in 3.4s too

100x100 with 0.04 second period?

youre wrong. a functional radar is needed for the eurofighter, and the current eurofigther is already compatible with new missiles. Also the eurofighter got double pylons which gives it +2 aim-120’s now

Period 0.04??? I’m sorry???

i forgive you
