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

They could for a few months because of a bug, and would be able to irl, but currently can’t

cheat code is to swap to radar lock, launch, and swap back to IR.

That works!? Does it work when firing from TWS?

? PIRATE has no TWS currently

No I mean. What I understand from your earlier posts is:

I am in IRST, I spot a target. Switch to Radar TWS, softlock target, launch, and then switch back to IRST.

But I now simply spot with the radar in TWS, softlock and launch

This shouldnt trigger RWR either untill the AMRAAM gets its own hardlock. So I dont think I understand what you meant before as to the advantage of having PIRATE.

Ah no what i meant before is you find a target with PIRATE, lock with PIRATE, and then with that lock you can quickly swap to radar (giving a fraction of a second lock warning), launch, and swap back to PIRATE

Using PIRATE to find targets over the 63x40 area and then independently tracking them with TWS works just as well (although less useful with the AESA)

So my advantage with PIRATE would be to ONLY trigger their RWR momentarily when launching the AMRAAM? But doesnt the radar still guide it, so STILL triggering the RWR despite us having switched to IRST?

Anyway I am still mega excited for the new systems, especially AESA.

Nope, if you’re in IRST mode that’s it. Radar is off

The single biggest advantage of PIRATE is in ground rb though, where you can sneak up on people and hit them with 9Ms when they have literally no clue.

The HUD tint looking so much better now.



Looking great on Moggy too.


Some bonus screenshots with some userskins.

Turns out ECRS Mk.1 also required a new power supply unit following changes to the ECRS Mk1 requirements.

Also, Hensoldt also claims “Extended missile guidance”

Which I believe is supposed to be “extended range missile guidance” but they seem to have forgotten to type “range” out, cuz I cant think of any other thing this could be referring too.

A radar that can track targets, must be hacking :P

Can anyone currently on dev share an screenshot of the Cockpit? (HUD)

Sadly the Number of the engine power is still clipped to 00.00 when at full AB :(
Surely we will get the fix soon, maybe we only need an 3rd EF for each nation to get it fixed

How it should be:

keep in mind the cockpit has @Melk_Z_dek 's userskin to compensate for the horrible cockpit model done by gaijin.
