Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 3)

could that be just because they dont actually have a proper HUD? just a theory…

Sadly not, normal HUD and MFD screens

Zusammenfassung

Wouldnt be the first time they treated helis entirely differently (Directional exhausts for example)

Can you add 12 Fox3s? We only have 8 in the simulator game.

I feel I need a tutorial on the new Radar mechanics.
Currently when I spawn in ground battles my Radar is set to TWS normal, with aircraft and helicopters as the selected filter.

So why does it only show or lock on to friendly contacts? The TGP is the same I am trying to use it to hit a ground target and its trying to lock a friendly aircraft?
Surely Gaijin don’t actually think the Typhoon doesnt have an IFF system for the Radar and sensors?

The IFF mode is the symbol in the bottom left

The radar slaving overriding manual Tpod targeting is probably something that needs to be bug reported. I might do it tomorrow if I remember too

That was it thank you!

Another thing that is sorely need especially for SB is for target point to stay in place when it leaves the TPOD angular limits while you are in the TPOD view …

Yeah. Could do with something like a “lock” for the target point. Enable it, and it wont move until you unlock it

Ironically I was happy to read the changelog when they added the new aiming point mechanic and when I saw the new keybinds.

But when the targeting point moves out of TPOD angular limits it also moves the linked aiming point with it :)

Oh damn, that is genuinely stupid.

Ive not used the Aiming points yet, outside of the one match in top tier NE I did before getting a headache from the RWR

I hope the C-8 appears in major update. With LOAL, it would become even stronger in SB.

it won’t be

All AMRAAM are LOAL when fired beyond seeker range? What makes the C-8 any different? Unless you mean different launch limits?

Maybe he is expecting to mad dog C8s and then acquire a radar lock afterwards. Idk

with a 400% chance of locking onto and killing teammates

I thought that firing beyond the gimbal limits like the 120D was LOAL, but is that not the case?

It is kinda, but you can do that with 120Bs and C5s.

Just the GNSS makes it better, but IOG can do it too

55° gimbal limit is far too weak compared to the radar’s capabilities, and there have been many situations where it put me a disadvantage

Given the kinematics, does the gimbal limit really do anything?

They are not HOBS missiles and I never try and fire them in HOBS.

I fire straight and then turn to notch after firing.

We need ASRAAM and IRIS-T to give a HOBS weapon
