Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

actually most CCs I follow always praised the MICA + HMD combo

who wants to make a report for the missing energy cue

The HUD SEP marker? Already done.

nice

Dont let the french mains hear you. The MICA is the most unreliable missile there is, and its the single worst missile at top tier. The only way they’ve been able to make them work is due to their vastly superior skills and intellect obviously.

Is it in the HMD as well?

Nation mains in general are unbearable imho, especially those that don’t have a single other top tier tech tree so can’t actually compare the stuff.
I can see their point about unreliability since TVC missiles are quite unstable, but against skilled players there are many situations I prefer the R-77 over the aim210s, so I would likely prefer the MICA even more. If it wasn’t 16v16 anyone with half a brain would not die to 40km amraams.

maybe it is, maybe it isnt
there really isnt enough data on the HMD imo

I meant ingame. Itd be incredibly useful to have in the HMD, borderline pointless in the HUD.

The HMD is usually what you’d be tracking an enemy through the rate with. The HUD is what you’d be using in thr final moments before a gun/missile shot, so Id love it if my HMD told me my SEP when I’m playing sim. Having to look down at my HUD to figure out my SEP would be pretty pointless, since at that point I can just check if my speed is rising or dropping…

I’m wondering if that might be what the top right number on this HMD display in the DCS EFT trailer was:

thats the altitude

but imo that HMD in the trailer wasn’t done or fully accurate. Or there’s reject modes like in the hornet…

Ah ty, makes sense now that you point it out.

Do you know the current state of the HMD?
if its done or still WIP?

I do not know that but what i know is that it should be better than the tornado

Mirage is one of the things that you fear in cqc when flying the Gripen those Micas are nasty!

My radar just loves picking a standing still ghosts and just watching them. It’s like they added my german typhoon with PTST and it sees ghosts of B-17’s

So i guess, not to expect anymore buffs to captor right??? Even though its supposed to rival early pesa radars and be significantly better than 80s APG-63v1. But in WT, its just Harrier radar with maybe a bit better detection ranges.

+1 here, i’d like to know if we’re going to get HMD IFF or not

Nah, only the french are allowed to have IFF in their HMD they arent even supposed to have.

yh, i don’t mind them getting the HMD at all it just seems a bit of a piss take that its the only one (other than the a-10) that gets IFF lol

does the eft hud and hmd have a queue symbol for IR missiles? don’t remember seeing one ingame.
If it does is there any status on a report (if there is a report)
