i personally cant wait for a bunch of stupid J-36 skins that make it litterally look like a dorito
its more like 270°
the rear radar is not for detecting stuff
it has 360° IRST coverage through the LDIRCM turrets tho
I think it has a PD-MAW which has multi-use as an all around radar → sensor fusion. Something which is also suspected about the EF MAW but not confirmed.
it has IR+UV MAW
the LDIRCM turrets and a bunch of other apatures are for it
there is a rear facing radar in the tail that might be part of the MAW as well but who knows
Praetorian DASS will stay like it is unless they actually publish some new and workable info
Yeah, in terms of offensive A2A at least yeah. (Technically the EFT already has that, but only really for MAWS)
but I’m on the fence how useful that actually will be for say ARB. Good in ASB though. But I would also be worried it would be a bit of sensor overload for the player and actually be more of a distraction than an asset.
But being totally immune to IR missiles is going to be really op
So it gets its radar coverage from the main and smaller side-looking radars behind the main radar. The side-looking ones are slanted down, so the up view is limited in side coverage.
See and TWS track every enemy in a 50 km radius so you can fire a missile and guide it via DL while being in a perfect notch? :D
Exactly the problem of War Thunder, the radars are probably also used defensively so one can expect to have some kind of interfacing system (360 degree HMD maybe, displaying radar contacts, sorted between missiles and enemy aircraft), this could allow for much greater situational awareness, think MAW + RWR but you know the exact position of the missile at all times. Not to menton that we are still lacking any kind of useful ground scan modes…
People are sleeping on the F-35 in air RB it will be very strong in both Stealth and “Beast mode”
Performance is not that critical when Gaijin have shown they tweak air spawn in speeds.
Radar will be incredible and with Meteor or 120D in air it will be strong.
In ground battles it will be the best jet in the game.

German/T5 Typhoons are moving to the SAAB Arexis defensive system. No way we will have any public data on that.

i know, kinda weird since evoDASS is also a thing

More so it will be impossible as we already have limited info on the current system :(
I dont understand some of the decisions made by some Typhoon operators

unless they know something about evodass that we dont

I thought maybe they plan to integrate the SAAB system on other airframes?
But F-35, Typhoon and soon to be retired Tornadoes
Its an interesting one
AMK is a pre-requisite to a bunch of the stuff included in P4E so I expect it would come very soon after 2030, certainly closer to 2030 than 2040.

None of what you said is actually true though or relevant? What’s in-game is not the prototypes but instead the future variants of the Eurofighter. IPA07 is not what the Germans have in-game, and in fact it has been rejected for the German Eurofighter to have it be named or modeled explicitly as IPA07.
This is also why the AMK kit report is being applied to all Eurofighters as P4E is intended IRL for all Eurofighter nations in-game. It is also why Smin has said that the Eurofighters are receiving the planned radars of their future variants, not the tested radars.
You are ignoring that the AMK is an after service kit, that can be installed on all Eurofighters, regardless of tranche
I have no doubt what you said is true, but it still begs the question of what exactly is acceptable, where the line is drawn, etc.
And when/if the actual variants come into service with proper naming, can it even be added as a separate vehicle if the current Eurofighter-AESA is intended to be a catch-all for all future upgrades?
you know gaijin, AMK is a mod that brings a lot of stuff and future potential so its very likely to be a new phoon that comes with it
also i dont think theyll correct the naming anytime soon
