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

Probably because last time they did that they ended up with the horror show that was the Tornado F.3 CSP… and we all know how that ended.

It’s like the Treasury doesn’t understand that cheaping out on Defence either a) gets people killed needlessly, b) turns out to be more expensive in the long run, or c) all of the above

Turning out to be more expensive that it should be is our specialty, our other specialty is bailing on the “cheaper” alternative when it turns out to be just as expensive. As if we hadn’t learnt anything from bailing the other project…. Where’s my TSR 2, where’s my fat useless bomber gaijin.

i mean irl no it would’ve been very good, being able to fly ridiculously low and fast. WP Interceptors would’ve had the time of their lives trying to find one

But no, in War Thunder’s fictional universe, it’d be a fat stupid defenceless bomber.

Also anyone know how suggestions are checked? I had made a suggestion for another fox variant (one with a 25mm bushmaster) but now I can’t seem to find it after it disappeared from pending. There was a problem with the picture as it was too large but I couldn’t edit it, anyone know what I should do.

DM a Suggestion Mod. Usually they can give feedback (so i’m told!)

Tried that, still hasn’t gotten back to me. Don’t know how long I should wait, and I cabs to really make it again as it took me quite a while and I’m not the best at wording and such. Especially the technical aspect of making it look the same as the other suggestions.

Yeah, if it’s in the last day or so, give it a bit. I’ve got a suggestion pending rn, so they aren’t the fastest (what’s having a life again?)

I’m sorry for being dumb but what does TMC mean

Does this mean it is from A-J band coverage?

A-I, I ends at 10Ghz

The orange thing is SPEAR 3? That’s even worse, why is it single mounted. Cheers for the picture

Because it was the first one built for an initial firing trial carried out in 2016.
More extensive trials were supposed to have taken place last year but there have been no further images published since the 2016 launch.

Thanks for the info, btw when i say worse, i mean more cursed, i dont think ive ever seen a brimstone thats not triple racked.

Eurofighter’s RWR actually goes up to K-band (the post is wrong)

ah, i was just going off of the frequency range provided there lol

@Fireball_2020 You can change that to be up to K band (40 GHz)
