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

rear aspect shots arent the 9M’s strong suit and never were

side aspect shots are were they shine

So you are saying that when in rear-aspect and the target flares the Aim-9M is suppose to pull a hard turn in the opposite direction of the target?

the shot in this latest match

Target is slightly below me, traveling towards my 11 oclock and in my LSZ.

I fire

The target flares and the missile pulls hard and starts heading towards the 3/4 oclock position.

Though based upon this, side-aspects dont work either at the moment


anything but the target…

I do better in my Captor-M EF lol The AESA Radar is absolutely scuffed and does not work.

Eurofighter has Blocks, inside the first 3 Tranches at least.

Iirc in both cases he is talking about aerodynamic heating of the motor case, as, the outer shell of it, that we can see while looking at a missile.

Idk if was the launch, but… 9M isnt being kind to me, both scored only hits


The more SPICE report got accepted

motor case temp also includes internal heating (its not just aerodynamic heating) which changes for a ducted ramjet engine and a solid rocket motor even if its the outer shell. so using motor case temp would be misleading . also can u provide the source ?.

Quoting flame

He specifies Aerodynamic heating, not heating overall.

I cant

It is explicitly taking about aerodynamic heating:

Does the live version of the AESAphoons have AMK?

Nope

None of the AESA Typhoons have AMK

No, but will be good if/when they are added to all 3 nations

Or 1. Depending on how uk/italy orders

Version 2.53.0.17 has been released, but the issue where TWS ESA loses its target has not yet been resolved…

I hope that a CAPTOR-E that works properly will be deployed soon.

Agreed, every nation should have AMK, I think

The fix was for ESA updates providing velocity updates bouncing high to low repeatedly forcing the radar in TRK MEM.

You’re losing targets in the notch because all ESA radars in game are pretty easy to notch. All of them have the same notch gate.

Stage-2G and Stage-3G having the best notch gates in the game still continues to be the case. Rare Tornado win.
