Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

And he is one of the more considerate, and well researched members of the communtiy. I’d trust his comments more than most.

It is a fact that the Typhoon’s radar is one of the weakest in game because Gaijin refuses to fix it, and yet the Rafale came with AESA instead of PESA.

Despite multiple secondary sources for the inner pylon AMRAAM, it has been denied, and yet the Rafale got 8x MICA because of the export variant India uses.

Heck. Rafale has HMD IFF and the Typhoon doesnt because “reasons”. Literally no reason why we dont other than Gaijin fake nerfing us. Again

Yeah. But if the Rafale can get HMD because the C F3 only tested it or something. Then the Typhoon FGR4 should get Spear-3 because its test fired them. With an IR seeker, would give us FnF performance similar to the AASM

There is fair case for this one (since it’s supposed to be in service with UK) but if I posted pictures of certain loadouts tested on certain jets some people will get a bit unhappy. So tested stuff tends to be very controversial

Ok i have had enough Typhoon mains seat you asses in here and fix the plane Rafale mains seat you asses on the other forums and fix that plane

Typhoon and Rafale mains +Gripen should be working together so we dont have to have problems with the other super jets that other nations in game have ffs we are on the same team you Goobers

Its the principle more than the practice.

Loadout options are always a balancing decision. But when we have 15km laser guided AGMs vs the 60km IR+IOG AASMs the Rafale has. The least they could do is give us Brimstone 2s which the Typhoon actually used, even if they are still restricted to SAL

Heck. Even just giving the Typhoons their full compliment of GBUs would be a start.

Honestly still confused why they couldnt give us IR Brimmstones considering they made tv martels fire and forget. And 15km is confident when your either facing 4 pantsirs at any one moment in time or competing with the 3 su 27s already up killing the enemy team.

Ive had more like with dumb bombs, .plus its always nice getting fan mail complaining about cas despite sitting in their pantsir just after i had shot them out the sky seconds before.

Yeah… Britain tax unfortunately I reckon

PW4s remain my primary A2G weapon in nearly all gamemodes. I just run Brimstones in GSB for dealing with helis

Do brimstones really not have any type of backup GPS guidance on Brimstone 2 or 3?

At least the EFT is quite good at filling the CAP role with its IRST, coming with 6 9ms and no radar allows for silent shots, especially against the heli scum.

Brimstone 3s got an upgrade to its Inertial guidance. What that actually means I dont know, but maybe could translate to 0 drift IOG in game which would give us a psuedo GPS guidance for them. But they were small. 3 to a mount requires that and they were always meant to be used with MMW within the context found in WT and so GPS is largely unneeded.

If you need to hit something with GPS guided weapons, you used PW4s or Storm Shadows

Ah well was worth asking about i guess. But afaik, GPS guidance section isn’t that big so no reason to not have it on Brimstone tbh

I was wondering about that, so brimstone are not gps but simply Inertial guidance. GPS, no matter how bad, would have given highly accurate information no matter what, so wouldnt give us the amount of drift we have in game rn lol.

Remember it started development in 1996. SPear-3 has GPS because the range and technology better allow it. But back then. The Brimstone was designed for a Tornado Gr4 to ripple of 12-18 of them at a small area using IOG and the MMW and communication systems to go and find 18 different targets on their own and blow them all up.

Well yeah, that’s why I asked about newer Brimstone 2 and 3

2 replaced the engine giving it 200% increased range

3 replaced the battery and INS kit

I cant recall any other modificaitons they got off the top of my head

Never really needed them, Brimstones where originally pitched and developed as a mass anti armour weapon, akin to cluster bombs without all the pesky regulations. The SAL was largely a backup solution to fulfil a need for long range precession strike on moving targets, so GPS was never really considered.
SPEAR 3 is more a replacement for paveways rather than Brimstone

whats the difference?

Also Man-in-the-loop capability in an urban enviroment
