Actually @Gunjob is this intentional as it stands?
Really? Is the fuel in that small missile body enough for that as it doesn’t really differ in its dimensions from the default SPICE 250? The sources I found also say “around 81 miles/130 km”.
Seems they somehow made it work.

Oof, sounds kinda like black magic or the range of other missiles like the SPEAR 3 is heavily understated.
You have to fit the engine and the fuel tanks into that small frame without changing the dimensions of the missile/bomb body too much after all… Could that be a typo in the brochure? 200 km would sound way more realistic even if that’s still a very long range. Speed would also be interesting to know.
accurate :P

MBDA have a track record of doing that
SPICE 250’s glide variant has a 100km standoff range per rafael. I suspect these are the most optimal of optimal conditions it’s in.
@Smin1080p_WT Spice250 can be only equipped on 1 out of the 3 pylons. Is this for balancing reasons or a lack of sources?
So maximum height, at maximum speed with tailwind during the whole flight envelope.
All the evidence in the report only showed the one mounted location: Community Bug Reporting System

Thanks
Funnily, that link in the report talks about the “SPICE 250 ER” (the mini-cruise-missile one with a turbojet), so it’s the wrong SPICE :D
Any chances of SPICE coming to the existing Eurofighters?
SPICE ER is proposed for Eurofighter EK.
SPICE 250 was the one for the existing Eurofighters in Berlin 2018 and Farnborough 2018 before the EK proposal:

ECRS 100° HMD
I tried to play with ranges, but as of now, it is impossble to change them from player input, it is a set value.
Is that a Su-57 with ECRS and Python-4? Frankenstein would be proud…
Yes…
I also went and sped up the PIRATE, not sure it can be made into TWS.

I suspect you’ll want to replace this
with something more like this
and then down here you just steal things from the other search modes
gotta go fast xD
