Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion (Part 1)

4 missiles under belly. Two on wings. 6 BVR.
2 on outboard wings stations. 2 WVR.
8 6+2
Or replace 2 BVR with 2 TMC for 4 WVR.
4+6

Where do you want to place all 12 missiles?

TMC- twin missile carrier.

Yes, I know. But it’s still funny.

But this is on condition that we will have “long” fox-2 in the person of ASRAAM. If there will be only 9M, then 8+2. I don’t see the point in changing 2 amraams to 4 9M.
And the wing pylon with a jettisonable fuel tank is a discussed thing. I have come across information many times that this pylon is suitable for launching anti-radar missiles. That is, it is not a dumb pylon, it is connected to the combat systems of the aircraft and target designation can be transmitted to the pylon. But I have never seen a photo with missiles on this pylon.

in that regard, please remember you are limited to how many fox 3 missles u can guide at once.
there is reasons why the fox 2s are a good choice

That does raise a question. How many can the Typhoon guide. Blue Vixen can guide 4. Being a massively upgraded Blue Vixen, im guessing it can probably guide its full payload of 6x AMRAAM

I recall seeing the number of 6, don’t remember where, or the source but I’m 99% sure I saw somewhere claim 6.

Would just make sense

should be atleast 6 but i think i have seen 8 i am going to look through my stuff.

Yep 8 might be possible

I prefer long-range combat. It’s the number of missiles you have under your wings that matters, not how many you can fire at once.

I mean - i never seen 120 or meteor on that pylon. I am 101% sure that this pylon allows you to carry and use air-to-surface weapons.

Docs from the National Archives say it can guide 6 missiles at once.

That pylon was clear. The furthest to the right is in question

Im so happy to see the Typhoon mounts a TGP in a way for it not to impeed any air to air or CM capabilities <3

yeah but it prevents the center fuel tank meaning youll need wing tanks which block 2 bomb stations

M8, the thing can supercruise, you shouldnt need bags…

with bombs you shouldnt go above mach 1 in general but that doesnt matter in war thunder
