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

Spear is just Brim on coke and steroids, with extra fries.

10x more range and 2 way DL, and its still MMW.

putting r-73 in the same breath as 9x and iris-t, of course it’s going to be much worse. r-74m2 is the equivalent of these missiles in the game, not the base r-73

Doesn’t it also has an IIR seeker ? This way, if implemented in this mode, it would be compatible with the game’s current top missiles. Better than the AASM, probably better than the kh38 ?

I’m only basing myself on in game Russian missile knowledge, since I don’t know much about Russian missiles outside of War Thunder in general :)

No, the American equivalent does but that one has no engine as it’s built on the SBD.
It’s a Spice 250 equivalent, which the EF could get, maybe…

fairs, also the k-30 (russia’s canceled next gen ir missile, that got rebooted into k-md/k-300m) looks kinda like an asraam

Spoiler

No, same seeker as Brismtoen but with GPS

Huh, always thought SPEAR used a tri mode IIR, MMW Laser guidance system… Welp, I guess the same MMW issues arises as well

I really don’t think gaijin will withhold MMW for long anymore after these new systems get in, at the latest we’ll see it next year i think.

Some news sources likely confused “multi-mode” with tri-mode seeker used on US weapons

the day see through smoke missiles are added will be the death of GRB. KH38MT already is on the fence (especially for countries that dont get modern SAMs cough cough), but playing tanks is getting harder and harder.
Can you imagine that recently I have been only playing the rafale in CAP mode, or at worst took only some laser AASM, because that’s the only reliable way of dealing with su30sm and ka52 spam (MICA for su30 and AASM for Ka 50 does wonders) (especially when GER and RU are together). Can’t remember last time I played the IR AASM lol, I find it far less reliable since its so slow, it’s often shot out of the air (especially by Pantsir)

i mean the solution is to extend the max br of planes in GRB to 1.3 higher than the ground vehicles themselves

If they don’t want to limit them to 6 they just need to switch to quantity based SP cost for AGM, and they’ll 100% make MMW more expensive than IR AGMs anyway.

Ways to make it work are there, and i know gaijin won’t make the same mistake as with the KH, well you know why.

Btw vizender i saw you in a match once, you don’t need to be that scared in the Rafale of the SLM, just pop out at more than 10km and launch on the SLM, they can’t intercept Hammers reliably because of the trajectory. Plenty of KH slingers dog on even the SLM, the rafale can do the same.

Or such weapons could be limited to PVE only. I personally enjoy quite a lot doing PVE in air sim, it’s just that it’s not actually worth it compared to actual PVP in terms of rewards. I think this game as a lot of potential for actual fun PVE scenarios but it’s. Stuck with those 10 years old game mode that are not only getting stale but also worse as the game evolves beyond the gamemodes capabilities. That SEAD event was a great start imo, I hope they’ll capitalize on it

True, this could happen as they already are changing the way SP is calculated for planes. They could also first start by reducing the SP cost of fox 3s for CAP ahah

Maybe, but SAL Hellfires vs AASM and KH-38MTs is not a fair fight in GRB

Ehh… it’s not that bad, even SAL only brimstones are very versatile, and i enjoy them a lot, you’re anti everything with them.

But if they really don’t want to give FnF brim, at least Brim 2 SAL with the new spaa.

Brimstone 2s should have been what we had 8 months ago. Brimstone 1s is just BS. Heck, with no MMW, the Tornado Gr4 should have also gotten Brimstone 2s
