i’m a bit split on that one
EFT is clearly the worst at CAS, there’s not doubt about it. At the same time being a ground RB regular, i’d much rather have other planes CAS nerfed rather than EFT buffed.
In the current meta though, brimstones vs KH38, or hell even AASM ir, is laughable. Facing both in a SPAA is completely different
worst* currently
oops typo
Its only going to get worse, Gripen E will have the hard points to carry 120s and AGM 65s
Leaving Typhoon as the only top tier jet without FnF capabilities
Not great not terrible
so yeah
TWS+ merely matches the tracks once after each full scan is complete (so every vertical bar)
meaning it does NOT do DAS or revisits
Playing Eurofighter right now is a waste of time.
No it’s not, stop coping
It is my opinion. You are of course free to disagree I will however play Flankers, Rafale and others in the meantime.
Ok 👍
I mostly want it’s CAS fixed for other gamemodes. Like ASB. At the moment Brimstones on the typhoon and GR4 are completely worthless. 0 point to even consider bringing them in that gamemode
it would be brimstones “too broken” , meanwhile kh38 exists and can be fired from 20km.
Nor do you get your inner pylon aim120s even though 5 manuals says it can because double standards, & its funny since Su30 having double rack r-77 never existed
or maybe they used this diagram ^^^ but its literally the same situation as this:
really shows the double standards
Well… They are specifically talking about the LOAL mode, which would be incredibly powerful, but they wrote that entire passage as if the option was either SAL or LOAL. Instead there is a third mode of operation which would function as LOBL. Which would have none of the issues which they described in that post.
Maybe MMW would be too strong, but I doubt it. Im of the opinion the MMW would be no stronger than the IOG we already have on most missiles and you can simply add the smoke with chaff within it if you are really concerned about that.
What 5 manuals?
Yeah… Would love to see their proof of this.
Do Brimstones need a quantity mitigation? Yes. 6 would be more than enough inside GRB, but I would want it done in a way that uncaps them in air modes.
But not only the sheer lack of any FnF for them sucks, but renders them a waste of space in ASB. Better off with the PW4s and then ontop of that, they dont even give Brimstone 2s. Which would actually be half decent even with SAL only.
I have long had the feeling that the snail brings the parameters of the aircraft to reality, or to how they understand it. But at the same time, they do not care at all about the fact that half of the systems in the aircraft are not implemented and that these systems that it implemented are designed to work together with the systems that it did not implement, in order to have sufficient efficiency at the beginning of the 21st century, and not at the end of the 80s.
I take it back, more like company data sheet specifications
I think the dude that almost “leaked” the EF’s manual was telling that there indeed was 8xAIM-120 mentioned.
I don’t know if where talking about the same guy but he did send a full screenshot of something from the flight manuals
I do believe he has some type of source to confirm an 8th amraam although I don’t think he’s ever coming back, I wouldn’t mind too much without 8 amraams unless were being overshadowed by a much better counterpart
I suspect that 8x Aim-120 fit is entirely and completely possible but has simply never been done because there simply has never been the need for it so far. (maybe even entirely and completely possible on all pylons with the right software updates)
Within the Air policing, Quick Reaction Alert and Close Air Support roles the EFTs have been deployed on so far. 2-6x ASRAAM + 4x AMRAAM/METEOR + 2x Tanks + A2G weapons if needed were more than enough. Was never a real reason to deploy with more than 4 or 6 most of the time
If it has been done, then there is no known (non-classifeid) documents or photographs of it.
Yeah, that totally public manual states that station 4 (that can only carry A/G ingame) has the same capabilities as station 6 which carries Aim-120/Double Aim-9 including the ability to use Twin Stores.
But i don’t think it’s ever been used like that operationally honestly, but the beast mode render makes more sense knowing that wiring isn’t really an issue.
