Could someone show me the ECRS MK.2 scan modes in replay sensor view please
It just reduces the impact of the Su-35 now.
Yes it’s faster and yes it has a MAWs but unless it comes with R-77M or R-37M it is going to be a little meh.
I am interested to see how the Typhoon stacks up against the new Su-30. Being able to just sit that notch window while slinging R-77-1 is pretty scary
Not necessarily all are unrealistic but certainly would be major upgrades:
- AMK
- EJ230 TVC Engines + Wartime engine settings
- Extra CM Dispensers (Fairly certain this is a planned upgrade for the FGR4 so we’d have 300 standard or 150 LCM (Source))
- Striker II + The new cockpit would be a pretty awesome combo in ASB for situational awarness
- Britecloud + TRD
But the biggest buff the Typhoon could get is weapons
- ASRAAM / IRIS-T
- METEOR
- Brimstone 2/3 or Spear-3 + MMW on any of them
- Storm Shadow / Taurus
etc etc
And then just fixes:
- BOL Overhaul
- Finished FM

yea it will reduce the impact of su35 , but su35 with maws will be much better especially in sim.
For sure Sim is very different game mode
Did they ever install the TVC? Or is there any info on projected flight performance available?
I can see the AMK coming and most of the other stuff, however MMW brimstones/meteors probably distant future.
Genuine record, couldn’t even survive a week of dev server where the UK has the best top tier radar,
no clue why I’m surprised though

Not yet. The engine was built and fully tested uninstalled and it was proposed for Portugal on the Gripen E as they didnt want to buy anything american, even if its just the engine. But I think they are leaning towards just buying Typhoon now. Or at least the last I heard.
But the ultimate fantasy Typhoon? TVC would have to be an option there
PL-15 were rumoured this major and on the dev stream they said that dual-pulse motors are apparently WIP. So Meteors might be sooner than you think.
MMW just cannot be sat on much longer. It needs to come in some form, any form. They cannot justify short range SAL Weapons as being equal to practically FnF Cruise missiles like the KH-38MT much longer

i think they will probably add MMW munitions once they add atleast 1 mbt with APS to every tt. (BVVD said they will add MITL once they add APS to every tt so the same may apply for MMW)
3D Audio would honestly be awesome for headphone users, especially for stuff like Sim

Yeah, it would be interesting.
Kh-59 being a jet powered cruise missile is a good precedent for getting SPEAR, typhoon has tested them on the outermost wing pylon (excluding the AAM one) so could work for a limit of 6 missiles, multi-mode seeker has IIR as well I think

Pretty sure typhoon is compatible with the 3x launcher, so maybe 12
Spear-3 doesnt have IIR.
Just MMW+SAL+GPS.
Its Brimstone seeker with the added GPS
But we could get them just in a GNSS + SAL combo with 0 drift or something. To at least give us something a bit like a GBU-39s, long range, spammable weapon. But its been denied because “its got too much range” Despite KH-59s already having greater range than can be seen on most Air Sim maps. let alone GRB maps.
In the GNSS+SAL only config. I dont see any reason we couldnt have all 18
Spear-Glide has IR/EO seeker though. Would be a lot like SPICE-250

Yeah I think as we get closer to the end of what exists that can be added we will start to get more theoretical things like TVC.
Gaijin won’t just stop, they want to make money at the end of the day.
I’m most looking forward to Asraam though.
I mean the 3x launcher is used for the twin paveways atm I think. My point was more that 18 IIR jet powered cruise missiles is probably a bit much

I wouldn’t have thought GPS would be counted as a seeker feature tbh
Yeah. I suspect the same too. cant be more than a few years until they’ll need to switch from realistic to proposed. Already doing it in a few places
Its counted as a guidance method. So heavily adjacent.
Though on something like the Spear-glide. I think it navigates through AI looking at what it sees in the IR/EO seeker rather than a GPS signal so it cant be jammed or something (Dont quote me on that though)
Su-9 being a jet powered fighter is a good precedent for getting Tempest
