AMK is part of the upcoming P4E upgrade. Britain has funded the P4E upgrade for its Eurofighters, presumably Italy has too.

It’s a good job the old German typhoon doesn’t have access to any technology it never used then huh

Just means we can all have IRIS-T as a backup for when Gaijin make ASRAAM total crap

We’ve gotta grt past the MICAs first
Isn’t brimstone also, actually, mounted on the german 'phoons?
We should probably just have the jetd be identical across the three nations now to keep things simpler imo
Is 560°/s functioning?
They decided on around 250°/s which is a happy medium between the E-Scan speed and Mech speed.

Thought I’d let you spot them ;)
So if they used the 590° figure it could do a full scan in about 2 seconds?
Shouldn’t that only be applied to the zones larger than the E-Scan area? Or is that already the case
Yeah which would be nonsense haha :).
My best top tier jet is the Typhoon and I say we typhoon apes together strong vs the big bad Rafale.
God I hate the Rafale…

In that case I’d rather they remove the mechnscan area entirely and just go 560. Its an AESA radar for crying out loud
Why on earth would you want that? Target updates are already near instant with TWS radars, so a faster scan rate is only useful for initially detecting targets a second or two quicker. As soon as a target is detected it immediately starts receiving instant & continuous position updates while the radar keeps scanning for new targets.

Yeah you don’t want that haha, ESA updates start right after detection, so that would reduce its effectiveness.
useful for initially detecting targets a second or two quicker.←The most important in RB
