Ah, normal settings was the option ^^
just got the MiG-29 (top) and noticed something…
Both of these for a side aspect MiG-15 at 3km distance… You’d think the return from the typhoon would be more precise, not less? Might help to reduce the perceived clutter as it’s often unreadable. (It is worth me mentioning the actual solution would be to just give PIRATE its TWS but… eh)

what makes you think the return for the EF is less percise?
you are getting a stronger return with the EF compared to the Mig-29

The return is larger which is usually (maybe skewed by my experience with earlier radars cause Britain doesn’t have much for IRST) a sign of poorer return accuracy.
“ASRAAM has full ‘Lock On Before Launch’ and ‘Lock On After Launch’ operating modes.” doesnt mean data-link?
It’s possible IOG.
Must mean that in order to lock on after launch.
it is IOG
the “full” made me think otherwise, but given that they used data-link as features in mica and mica-ng, it probably is
I also want ASRAAM to have a DL. It is clearly designed with range and acceleration performance in mind, so it’s really a shame that it cannot be used for BVR

i was doing some testings in statshark with the CAMM but as IR and its impressive, in some situations it surprasses the kinematics of AIM-120B by a lot (foe running from launcher iirc), it even beat MICA-EM in long range shots
But one thing im kinda curious is the MICA-NG, MBDA estates 40% more range while maintaining the same weight (but with dual-pulse motor), wonder if they arent doing a similar thing to ASRAAM
It can be used for BVR I’m pretty sure there is a image somewhere in this forum mentioning it can be used for BVR
I would think that one of the things they’d upgrade on the Eurofighter if ASRAAM has datalink, is to give PIRATE a laser-rangefinder so the IRST can guide the ASRAAM in even if the radar was notched or facing jamming.
The IRST can already get target data passively without needing a laser.

It can be used in BVR.
Is that not information only for initial targeting due to varying inaccuracy? Otherwise what’s preventing it from providing datalink to the aim-120?
In reality? Nothing. Ingame? The devs decision not to let the IRST to be used for LOAL of ARH missiles.

The report to have the IRST use ARHs for launching only alleged that the PIRATE had the capability to initially launch the ARH missiles, nothing that I’ve seen alleged continuous midcourse guidance.
