Ahh, so another Igla situation?
Kinda, not exactly though.
Fingers crossed it’s sorted in the EF’s favor
the idea is it should according to an archived version of the Eurofighter website and Eurojet (the engine manufacturers) be capable of supercruise up to Mach 1.5 (i.e. acceleration and flight to Mach 1.5 without the use of Afterburner)

they are so full of shit
1.3 should be with fuel tanks btw but nooooooooooooo GAijin is the ones who are the experts here sure
just say your engine cant properly model these FMs and itll be fine.

Legendary.
Truly living up to winning through superior documentation.

I just…
When I next bug report something or Gaijin does something based on a brochure/marketing material, can I call it a “marketing lie” and demand they go find another source?

yeah no one is happy about that wording there lmao
saw some people already getting it into a copy-pasta with random (mostly) russian equipment, was quite funny

Hey, you could have been told that physics mean the way your aircraft’s “airbrake” functioned doesn’t actually work IRL so it couldn’t possibly do that. Which is just a bit infuriating. At least “marketing lie” gives you a vague hope of proving it.

so lemme guess, they’re gonna change it to supercruise at 1.3 with min fuel and no weapons?

I am using max fuel and it supercruises 1.28-1.3 mach ish at 36k feet maximum
Top speed mach 2.14 - 2.15 or so at 34k feet
I was playing around with the Typhoon in test flight last night and noticed we get radar gun leads with IR locks when in range (1-2km). Is this a known issue with IRST in warthunder? I was also unable to turn off radar/irst, you can switch between them but can’t disable them.
That might be correct. PIRATE I think does have a ranging laser
I was under the impression Pirate can range targets without a laser? Not sure where i heard that tho and have no idea how it would work so I may well be wrong
I’ve heard both, so I really dont know these days, either way. im not surprised it can handle EEGS

has there been a suggestion for customising MAWS CM slaving/response? or making it use the player’s periodic cm release settings?
This would be nice.
Yeah, that would be such an awesome QoL improvement

The MAWS on the Typhoon. Its essentially placeholder at the moment right? Shouldnt it ignore flares and missiles not fired at the Typhoon? Like its suppose to on the Gr7

There’s no physical evidence of them ever doing so, and no evidence it has ever been cleared for use (at least to my knowlege)
There is no physical limitation as far as anyone is able to understand. The couplings are all there, the link ports should technically there. It’s just never been done IRL and the only documentation for it are from very early on in development.
Personally I think that AAMs have never been fitted there due to concerns regarding vortexes generated by the engine inlets risking the missiles hitting the body of the aircraft when released.
