Based upon this source. The intergration was planned but dropped due to ALARMs retirement from the UK’s service
The ALARM, however, is approaching the end of its service life. Although unconfirmed, a 2013 out of service date has appeared on some documents, and the requirement for integration of the missile on Typhoon has been dropped. - Source
Which does make sense. But FnF Brimstones/Spear-3 with a target area set by the RWR should be more than enough in that regard.
But Saudis use both ALARM and Typhoon so they might intergrate it still which would then be enough for us. But Im happy with running the GR4 or maybe in the future the EF3 for dedicated SEAD
We got the FGR.2 after the F-4C and before the F-4E. It was also brokenly overpowered for months after its addition; the flight performance completely outclassed every other jet in the game and AIM-9Ds (which only the FGR.2 had) were added with basically no drag and stupidly high seeker range so you could easily pick up 10 km+ kills. It basically had BVR missiles at a time when everyone else had AIM-9B or AIM-9Es.
The FGR.2 had plenty of annoying bugs over it’s lifetime. But it was far from obsolete upon addition. It was also the first jet to get a proper Pulse Doppler radar a time when everyone else only had MTI, which gave it a revival as one of the top dogs for a while.
That one i have to deny.
While there is seperate threads, we pretty much merge them.
And just discuss stuff where the most activity is at the moment.
Generaly they are used universaly
AIM-9D was also undodgeable under 1.5 km from direct rear aspect. Something that would not come until R-60 and more modern missiles, where flares were required and you couldn’t outmanouver missiles anymore.
fair enough i only got it when SARH missiles were added and by then the radar was a buggy mess that could barely lock and the gun pod was near impossible to aim with
They patched that pretty quickly and then the AIM 9D was the only top tier missile with a launch G overload.
FGR-2 was a menance when it was added and it was slowly nerfed and rebalanced so much so it was no faster on the deck than an F-4C/E and then Russia farmed them with the MiG 23
Actually for a long it was the only missile without a launch g overload. It came and went every other week, due to Gaijin’s poor version control though.
