As far as I see for the past 1000 comments this thread as been around data fusion and supercruise bitching, so I’ll pass on that explanation lmao
Correction. 1 guy claiming that the Typhoon has neither. and everyone else on the thread proving him wrong using primary sources for a 1000 comments

I can prove the MMW / IIR obscurant smoke formulation M81 exists, as to if only the Abrams ever was furnished with it I couldn’t say for certain as it’s a 66mm grenade form factor, a common NATO standard caliber for dispensers (e.g. M250, M239, M243, and similar Dischargers) so many disparate installations could theoretically fit the Grenade.
Later in the same document it does reference the M6 Discharger being tested on a Bradley hull (type unspecified though likely an M2 based on context), and that the installation did not significantly increase the Vehicle’s apparent RCS due to being of composite construction.

If it was only used by Abrams, even if it’s technically compatible with others, only Abrams should get it, since Abrams doesn’t have spall liner but just about everyone else does, would be a nice way to compensate
Of course, in the end this all serves to get EFT brimstones
Or the AH-64 and others, access to the AGM-114L or AGM-179 / AGM-187A.

F-15E can carry JAGM-F (187A) and GBU-53 (also MMW), so would generally benefit both US and UK
Hu… new funcitonality I think (at least i dont think it was on the dev server last time I tried)
Radar lock will queue both PIRATE and Litening III TPOD to lock onto the target (though IR lock doesnt appear to do the same at the moment, so that needs to be reported)
Probably needs buffs then, if we consider Mach 1.4-1.5 figures to be with standard A2A fit which I think is 2+4

1.5 is cited as clean in official documentation, so it’s not going mach 1.5 with ordnance ever.
Flame would have to confirm but I think 1.5 in the primary docs is with a standard A2A fit. But either way, 1.4 with clean is at a minimum 0.1 mach too slow clean and therefore needs buffs

Given that they do not properly model pylon drag and it has no use flying around in clean configuration it makes sense to limit supercruise speed in clean configuration to the maximum amount with air to air ordnance but that seems somewhat arbitrary.
He can’t even remember basic things
It was a feature of all TGPs slaving to radar lock, and even TWS soft locks for a while until they changed it for some reason.
I would argue just make it ubiquitous to all top tier smokes, just so that the BS excuse that exists to keep MMW out of the game is finally removed.
that is true, but then what would even be the point of MMW FnF
It won’t lose lock through clouds, allowing targeting with ground radar modes in bad weather, or foliage.
