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

IMO that should’ve been in coverage. I’ll play some games tonight get some clogs etc.

okay, my clog is attached if needed too.

Glad im not going totally crazy then :D

Its wierd, last time round, didn’t have the issue once, this time round, I am

yeah, got no launch warning against a 7f and r40rd, got the clip if u would like it. Was in the tonka.

Hey, does anyone have a problem with activating missiles while in weapon selector? I had this happening to me a lot recently. Basically a missile refuses to activate it’s seeker, hence isn’t launching. It’s a bug and a very infuriating one at that. Any clues? Trying to find a workaround because one more time and I think my keyboard would recieve a severe damage.

I thought I was the only one :D
Yes I have that too, not only in the EF but with every plane with ARH weapons in TWS radar scope. Cycling to the next TWS target fixes it though (most of the time). It feels like it refuses to fire at some specific targets.

Edit: It only seems to affect AESA radars and most of the time if very many targets are present and detected/followed by the TWS ESA.

Well I tried hard locking the target and it didn’t help at all. I also encountered this bug exclusively with only 1 target in my TWS ESA scan because it was a grb.

it wasn’t just that the AMRAAM exceeded its gimbal angle limit, was it?

Not experienced any issues myself.

Are you hard locking?

No, hardlock works all the time (at least for me). TWS locks are having issues with sometimes not letting you activate the ARH seeker for certain targets. It’s definitely not the auto switch to IRST as the US planes don’t have an IRST (and no targeting pod installed) but are affected by this problem too.

This problem is rare but it happens from time to time and can be quite annoying and from my experience only ESA radars are affected while M-Scans don’t have this problem.

This happening effectively 10° off from 0° frontal would be a really small AMRAAM gimbal limit :D

So Gaijin has used the flight model of the hellfire missile for the brimstone missile. Particularly, Brimstone is limited to 7G, and doesn’t have very good high off boresight capability, but why not?

Brimstone and Hellfire should be perfectly capable of high G, HOBS.

In their terms: “Not enough info.”

Edit: And by their logic: Small control surfaces → Bad Maneuverability.
