They made some changes to TWS. Expected as much…
New jets appear by their type instead of by name, JET = 16C, 39D, so on MULTIJET = J-15, 29M, and the like. They’ll fix it eventually, I don’t know why they always wait until after the update drops.

Two separate signals are now used by ESA radars to search and to track targets when in TWS mode. As a result, just like in a hard lock, it is now possible to track targets above the horizon with any radial velocity, and targets below the horizon with lower radial velocities are now trackable.
That shouldnt explain ghost contacts though, where it starts tracking something that isnt even there and then jumps back to the real contact after a few seconds. Surely that should actually make the tracking stronger and less likely to drop, especially with a ‘high’ scan rate AESA
(i’ll get some clips over the weekend to show what I mean)
Could be chaff. They made it so that targets above the horizon aren’t able to notch, which would also mean that the chaff they drop would be detectable.
Not that I can see, and this was in extreme top down too (I was at about 25k ft and the target was ground hugging)
Could also just be the servers dying. DDoS + immediately after a major update. I’ve had 9Ms behaving even worse because of the lag lol
Perhaps.
Yeah, I had a 9M just straight up miss yesterday, was CBA to go look at the replay though, but it was fired just shy of the LSZ and somehow just, missed the target

had the same happen with PL-8Bs, it refused to hit a non-flaring side aspect target at ~2km

You do realize Germany ordered Brimstone’s for Typhoons right?
Also what is this nonsense trying to limit other Typhoon’s capabilities even in theory Morvan, having best EFT isn’t enough at this rate?

I’m getting too old for the amount of stuff I need to pull off to play GRB typhoon. I’d actually prefer zuni pods to brimstones in their current state.

Why doesn’t Typhoon AESA have Aim-120D’s? It has them or used to have them IRL no? The US originally only gave the License to one country which was the UK because it was the only country it trusted it with, then gave it to Australia but now lots of countries have it. We used them before we used Meteors?
If they did use them, which they didn’t - it doesn’t matter. D variant offers nothing.
Just wait for Meteors…
A. They didnt use them.
B. Gaijin added them to make weaker airframes like the hornets more competetive which the EFT doesnt need
Fair. I always thought they used them.
I’m talking about in-game state of affairs.
Ordered, not delivered. If we are strictly speaking limiting it to actually in service loadout then no, they wouldnt Also they are Brimstone 3s not the 1s we have currently. Though that would also exclude Spice-250s from Germany too
I have a 100% effective tactic for playing the Typhoon in GRB.
Spoiler
Dont play above 10.7 in GRB

Which we should never do otherwise were all losing our radars

C8s are the latest known AMRAAM actually operated on the Typhoon (which would still be an upgrade over the C5s) and D/D3s are probably compatibile, but why fit D3s when you can fit Meteor
