Meh, to me it seems reasonable, the engine was designed for a 6000 hour lifespan, which is 30 years of operation according to MTU, so a major overhaul every 10 years.
used this to convert since it has years/hours and years/cycles
also the EJ200 thing says “major overhaul” so maybe you should make that distinction
The question is: Compared to what? An old or a comparably modern engine (F119/F135)? The thorttled version of the EJ200 (60/90 kN) or the unthrottled variant (69/95 kN)?
well the article compares it to commerical engines
That is a very flawed methodology. There is no good way to compare TACs to flight hours because the number of TACs consumed per flight hour varies MASSIVELY depending on the type of flying being conducted.
And you can’t use servicing intervals to compare TACs to hours because some tasks need doing depending on engine run time and others depending on the cycles. Hence you never see that table directly compared TACs to hours.

fair enough, do you have cycles for the EJ200 then?
I’ve been looking but not found anything yet. Off to bed now.

The GNSS report was from more than 5 months ago …
(I did later add the brochure as additional evidence though)

Its maximum range against vehicles is 20km in the game, but in practice you get like 2/3 of that …
Anyways, I think they should at least add Brimstone 2 SAL, though mmW would also be fine IMO
The question is. Will we get either?
The community seems to be entirely against aircraft getting a single bug fix. All the people in the BOL Thread with lines like “CAS must suffer” is rather funny, but also really sad. Let alone even mention of A2G buffs
Likewise, we’ll have to wait and see if we even get Aim-120C5s. The Typhoon might be about to officially become the second weakest 14.0 in the game, maybe even the weakest if PL-12 and AAM-4 get buffed
One of these things is not like the others…
Spoiler
Yes, while I am fairly certain as to what the paper is referring to, that is certainly a unique phrase to describe premature failure.

Here I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s really nessecary to state a fixed number of cycles for the EJ200 as this engine has a rather extreme amount of sensors built in and a control unit which monitors all engine parameters in realtime and in turn calculates the wear of the components. So only if a certain value of one or multiple parameters is reached, maintenance or an overhaul is nessecary. It even records the history of that said engine from environment parameters over g-forces to engine settings. This would be called “predictive maintenance” and is dependent on the actual wear the engine was submitted to and not some fixed expected numbers like cycles or flight hours for “this type of engine”.
Ok Typhoon team we need something.
Brimstone 2 does it have reduced IOG drift, are we just cooked until SPEAR 3? How could Gaijin just screw over the EF so much?
This is what Su-30SM Kh-38ML with GNSS will be doing if this goes to the live server.
Where we not refused accurate Brimstone for this exact reason, you would be able to attack targets and they would have no hope of shooting you down…
It got GPS guidance?
Yep GNSS added on the dev
Brimstone 1s should have virtually no drift, with Brimstone 3s getting upgrades to its INS
But yeah, SAL brismtone 1 vs IRIS-T SLM and Spyder doesnt sound fun
It should’ve hit a random house instead…
Unplayable…

Fun for me as wont be playing top tier with this joke of an update
Worth a Try

Looks like the devs do have time for EFT bugs! Theyve been hard at work increasing the weight of the BK-27 from 100kg to 102kg!
Spoiler
Still refuse to replace the worthless practice rounds in all the belts with the PELE-T rounds in the Gripens BK-27. Gripen also seems to be unaffected by the change, cuz I guess the devs havent figured out the Akan M/85 and BK-27 are the same gun yet?
No word on any other bug fixes atm tho. The devs have already put a lot of effort into this MASSIVE change to the EFT, so they’re off to more important things like buffing the MICA again now.
