Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

So its probably just the sidelobes then. either that or it is reducing the range from 120km to down to 60km or something which is still big enough for most maps

I wanted to check that theory, but my RWR seems to not work for some reason


(Streal has a RWR IRL)

I thought you might have been loosing it for a moment then. Spawning in an SPAA to test RWR ranges :D

I tried a few different SPAA, but i failed to turn on radar passive operation, so i guess ill have to do it in planes :(

Yeah, to date not a single figure with greater than or more than wording has ever had more than the stated figure without additional evidence.

Apologies, I meant, did devs state they will not use “previous” iterations of missiles values to substitute for situations where it is not clear what the exact values are?

For example, MICA EM’s gimbal limits is unknown but devs used the Super 530D’s gimbal limits of 55± even if they’re not direct evolutions. Other examples exist in-game.

If you check most ARH missiles have 55 gimbal limit, dunno if correctly or not.

I should find better examples, but it isn’t the first time where Gaijin has re-used values not known from an earlier missile.

Where there is a total lack of evidence placeholders can be used, to my knowledge most ARH share the 55 degree limit. But MICA IR isn’t lacking in evidence. We have the seeker brochure.

Sure, but if devs give MICA IR the Magic 2’s placeholder of 60 deg a second track rate, it still fulfills what the brochure says.

I’ve never managed to convince them to use anything past the stated figure. And believe me I’ve tried with the greater than and more than stuff. It doesn’t fly.

Devs do always what they want first, I would’t take a word from non-devs. F-5 uses wrong documents to model its FM for example.

Thrust vectoring for EF is still more real than kh-38mt. Can’t wait to see it in the game.

Not that it will make much of a difference in the game, but a 90 deg/s slewing rate doesn’t necessarily mean a 90 deg/s tracking rate …

This is how fast the seeker can be turned by driving the motors at max speed and doesn’t involve any tracking …

Starstreak still sat at mach 3 all these years later…

Any reason why the Eurofigther cannot use the LJDAM on the dual bomb racks?

Iirc, they probably could IRL, but only the Paveway IV is explicity marketed for them

I wonder if they ever tested an air launched starstreak from a fixed wing jet
