Problem is you have to do this at the start of EVERY match, and on the esm screen it doesnt tell you what mode your in meaning i have to either guess or wait to get pinged to figure out if im in the correct mode for my tornados that dont have the option to switch to a normal radar mode to find out.

I’ve just changed my FGR4 to AESA (i bought AESA but never use it till now) → its night and day.
Stratus missiles confirmed for UK Typhoons;
Unclear if its LO or RS or Both, I’m hoping for both. Stratus RS would be a fantastic capability for Typhoon to have.

What kind of missle is stratus?
Another funny looking missile for British contraptions.
Kinda like Taurus depending on the version its the Stealthy one (Stratus LO) or Mach 3 version (Stratus RS)
Meteor-Style cruise missile ^^
I like that they named it Stratus haha, in italian “strato” means layer so the fact that it also gets advertised as an anti-underground bunker missile is quite name-accurate.
I call will be the LO :3

Wait… “Anti-HVAA”? So it can be used against planes (at least larger ones like AWACS or bombers)?
Yes the implication is AWACS, SIGINT, and Tankers. Though that just translates to cooperative targets, so any non-maneuvering threat.

Well, you could assume that with a big enough warhead and the “high maneuverability” notion it could also be used against smaller maneuvering targets by simply having a giant kill sphere on detonation with a proximity fuse ^^
I just hope that Germany also gets a few of them, but seeing as we have Taurus NEO in the works, I doubt it will happen:(

Imagine, having ESM on Eurofighter and not having to rely on HARM seeker…
Or having more than 2 HARMs :(
I do have another report in for ECRS Mk.2 to get ESM functions outside of my general ESM provided by DASS report. I was just looking at an ECRS Mk.1 report but the wording isn’t as firm;
Where as Mk2 is more firm;
