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

Ive been playing quite a few different aircraft with MAW and i have noticed MAW is super sketch. I think it may be spaghetti code but you know how the snail works. 9X is in the same boat ill do some testing with some buds later to check cause it may be all MAW and not just the EFT. Ill aslo check with non Datalinked IRIS-T to see if its not just 9X and maybe RB 98

EFT is supposed to be 360 yeah?

Gripen E has the MAW copy pasted from the F111A and has holes and no CHAFF distinction so it may be gaijin coding

no. The angles are probably wrong, but sources dont exist so they are at the default setting. The MAWS has blind spots above and below.

StatShark - See All Player, Missile, and Vehicle Statistics

So like a ring type coverage

Yep. I think some speculation it should be 60° instead of 45° but yeah, no top or bottom coverage. 3 emittors for the AESA MAWS, 1 in each wing and another in the tail

Does that table really show the german EF not havin a MAW in rear aspect?

image is not correct

Thought so…

just dont mind there being a rafale there, its the default 3d model statshark uses in the sensor viewer

Didnt notice that, but Mytho has answered, (submits a bug report anyway :P )

Yeah same coverage I was thinking i was sure i had seen it before i just dont have the image for it

RWR and LWS are spherical

As it stands in game it makes more mistakes than correct responses. I’m still having it go off because of countermeasures sometimes despite that being “fixed” thrice.

They also need to allow for custom CM release patterns for MAWS.

Id have it spam out chaff, but I only want it to drop a fairly slow pattern of flares

There’s already a similar feature to this where you can select the timing of your countermeasures, doesn’t work though lmao

Yeah exactly. Though I also wish the periodic CM release had settings independent for Flares and Chaff and we had seperate keybinds for enable each, rather than having cycle selected CMs

Yeah, that would be extremely helpful, I also want them to add countermeasure series to the jets, because rapid tapping the countermeasure buttons is gonna break my keyboard someday.

Ive also wanted an accessibility setting so that the CM button can be toggled to just be press & hold

There is a suggestion for it

Oh nice, yeah, this is extremely helpful, having to tap the countermeasure button 4 times for the bol pod countermeasure just to have the same countermeasure effectiveness of one large caliber counter measure is ass, not to mention that the bol pod countermeasures lasts a lot less more that normal and large caliber countermeasures, so being able to hold the countermeasure button to rapidly release countermeasures would help. I hope the Devs add this, they should add this, especially if they don’t want to revert the bol pod countermeasure nerfs.

Technically its more like 22x iirc (assuming BOL is single release) for chaff

sad noises

but yeah, its a really sensible addition
