Have you reasoned your way to that or did you see it happen in a replay? I ask because the replay option is easier for me to work with for the report side of things.

+1, I wonder, could the Meteor be mounted on the Double Pylon?
Probably not, AMRAAM is already bringing it close to the weight limit for the pylon as is. Meteor would be too heavy. Plus when IIR SRAAM’s turn up you’re going to need to decide if you want 2xIRIS-T or 2xASRAAM or 2xAMRAAM or single meteor on that pylon.
Depending on what state ASRAAM eventually turns up in I will likely run 5x Meteor (4x ejectors and one on a single pylon) and 4xASRAAM.

Sad,
I do wonder, If the snail will gave the IRIS-T/ASRAAM to every EF or just one of them, would allow some criminal loaoduts
an Mix with
IRIS-T
ASRAAM
METEOR
AMRAAM
sounds very funny
4 Meteor, 3 ASRAAM and 3 IRIS T would be absolutely diabolical
You can observe the effect if you try to lock onto a flaring target. Even if there’s a flare inside the FoV it will most of the time lock but instantly drift off into nowhere with a red circle (and doesn’t ever stop doing so). Sensor view or the replay doesn’t show the lock-behavior AFAIK (or I didn’t find the option). The sensor view shows the missiles tracking cone drift into nowhere too while constantly showing “TRK”.
The problem is: If there’s a flare it should switch to IOG or if there’s no valid movement vector it shouldn’t move at all without a lock (doing “SRC”) instead of drifting the track way off target fast and for a long time as it’s currently doing.
It would be good to know if AAMs can be fitted to the inner pylons by then. Meteor 7x + ASRAAM 4x seems to be the closest to ideal. …10x AIM-120D?
What is the weight limit of that pylon? The Meteor is about 20-30 kg heavier (160-165 kg vs. 185-190 kg) AFAIK.
Meteor double pylons have been shown on renders for gripen e maritime, it’s slightly different compared to normal amraam double pylon

I thought the weight limit of that mountpoint on the wing of the EF was meant.
Tbf, these are also clearly different pylons to the ones shown in that one 14-Missile render, so there could be multiple (tho that refer also only shows one meteor on the second outermost pylon)
Gripen e maritime LOL.
Same joke as that Eurofighter version.
Its an actual concept offered by SAAB.

if renders were a source then the EF would have 14 ARH missiles

@Smin1080p_WT Correct me if I’m wrong, but the AGM-179 JAGM MR uses SAL+MMW guidance in real life, but is given IR guidance in game. Why can’t this be the case for the Brimstone?

the JAGAM MR uses a tri mode seeker with IR+MMW+SAL
It has a tri-mode seeker in real life with IR also. Brimstone does not have an IR mode.
Hasn’t the IR mode had limited testing though and from what I’ve read its acquisition range is significantly reduced when using IR
