Btw. anything new about the AIM-9M going for flares (or just veer off) in rear- and front-aspect when the target is flaring?
Nothing I can share yet. Once I have an update I’ll let you all know.

Just good to hear it’s under investigation.
Can you nudge lock ranges whilst they are working on them?
De-chirped 9L is that you??
Nah, those are a marketing lie
This change should affect Brimstone missile because it uses laser guidance, but I dont understand the extent to what they are describing. Does this change mean I can fire off Brimstones at a coordinate (w/ initial laser designation) and turn off the laser and have the Brimstone behave in a GPS manner?
no because of IOG drift
For the most part, I dont think it really changes anything, except fix this bug:

Ha! A hit
Is that really after the change? Seems no different to me.
I believe this is the fix for SAL only weapons such as Paveway II, the laser seeker would send it far off course.
It’s only for weapons with “aerodynamically stabilised seekers” (like on the paveway) which brimstone does not have
Paveway 4 did receive the fix despite functioning perfectly fine in the past since it’s IOG
Yeah PW4 still has the same seeker code, it just incorporates INS/GPS and uses that to correct the trajectory. Unsurprising it got the same fix while still being unaffected.
The Government is investing more than £650m to modernise the RAF’s Typhoon fighter jets
The upgrade will see ECRS Mk2 radars installed on 40 jets to boost detection and electronic warfare capability.
“ The latest contract will see 40 advanced European Common Radar System (ECRS) Mk2 radars fitted to RAF Typhoons, including 38 new systems and modifications to two test systems.
The radars will simultaneously detect, identify and track multiple targets in the air and on the ground.
The Government said the technology will ensure the RAF maintains its operational advantage in contested environments by providing high-powered jamming capability whilst engaging targets beyond the reach of threats.”

Interesting they have two.
This clip was a few weeks ago before the fix

Any better now?
Appears to be working correctly from what little testing I’ve done
Excellent maybe I can use them now.
GPS bombs are still better for sim battlefields anyways though imo.
Yeah, they are and thankfully the main GPS bomb i used, the pw4, was never affected

The bug did also affect multi-mode bombs too like the GBU-54B, so hopefully its corrected them too
