8733

They’re really afraid of how capable it would be if modelled even halfway right, it seems

Suggestion is the usual response for such a report. But yeah, it’s really funny how people complain so much about Brimstones and yet we have the weakest possible variant, missing most of its features and is underperforming notably.

8736

Good to know, but why not the usual accepted?

8737

I wasted my time in this report

8738

I have no idea on the precise meanings of things, but I think anything to do with how things are modeled rather than straight up game bugs are considered as suggestions

8739

Still hoping that the devs wake one day up, and realise that the name EF-2000 is awfull and therefore change it to its correct name “Eurofighter”

Is it possible to userskin customize the canopy tint

8741

Blame the Germans for not giving it a proper designation like the RAF did

:P

8742

We did, we call it Eurofighter…
But Gaijin wants to keep the EF-2000:(

Sources are all Official ones
Bundeswehr and the Bundesministerium für Verteidigung(Federal Ministry of Defense), sadly the report gets Ignored :(

Maybe @Gunjob could take an look on it?

Played a little bit with the Su-33 unlocked it and man I would honestly trade the 120 for a missile like the R-27…

Low alt high alt doesn’t matter, I would even take an ASRAAM based on the R-27ET

120s are so easy to defeat a puff of chaff a half assed notch and they just give up.

8744

I do wonder if they’ll just add watered-down versions of the IRIS-T/ASRAAM rather than adding the full strength version. Mostly in the seeker department

8745

Of course they will and we will get a big speil about how IIR missiles if they were modelled correctly would break the game and the player needs to be able to counter and detect them etc etc.

As of now Typhoon needs a new missile, 120s do not cut it and that sounds crazy to say

8746

They could add in 9X since it’s the worst of the modern missiles. It would be wrong but technically there’s some finegaling you could do.

The issue is that the Typhoon is an aggressive aircraft that you need to play defensively and its jsut wierd.

Aim-120s certainly no longer feel like they hold much advantage anymore, especially as people have become more confident in defending and the aircraft have become better at handling it too. So the range advantage on the Aim-120B has lost much of its potency and the MCIA/R-77-1s WVR performance holds far greater value.

So I could see Aim-120C5s coming at some point.

As for SRAAMs. The lack of a HOBS missile sucks, but its tuning it right so that it isnt OP or without making a new arms race with everyone else. But just giving AIm-9M their IRL lock ranges and turning them into a medium range weapon would be enough I think in the SRAAM department

I don’t think we will see IIR missiles for awhile sadly.

They need to make changes to the 120B we have in game or upgrade it to the C so we at least have some chaff resistance and some HOB capability.

R-77-1 and R-73 are in a different world to Aim9M and 120B
