Wheres AMRAAM?
open the game, look out for Aim-120, I am sure you will find a lot :)

He probably meant an 8th amraam for the eurofighter but i think we should be more worried about the radar that is claimed of being “fixed”

Will the typhoon get the AOA on/off button ?

SidewaysCube946 · March 1, 2025, 8:30pm

No, Smin said none of the Eurocanards will unfortunately

ION_GR · March 1, 2025, 8:31pm

is that realistic ? like don’t they have that ?

SidewaysCube946 · March 1, 2025, 8:32pm

I don’t have a clue, you’ll have to PM a tech mod or something.

Apparently the Typhoons have something called MPO which overrides it’s AoA limiter. So I’d imagine there will need to be a bug report for this to try and get it added. It should function pretty much the same as it does with the F-18’s and Su-30SM

It was planned together with a panic button that would automatically recover the plane as well but idk if it got implemented, maybe there’s a button in the cockpit for it.

There’s an on-stick override to pull 20% more for “additional emergency pitch control authority” - source is secret

Is the manual restricted?

Metaltank1990 · March 2, 2025, 1:50am

Literally got it off a public .gov.ru site so if it were restricted I’d be seriously concerned about their information security lol

Oh, damn, got eepy. ASRAAM*

Bro just ask him in the PMs instead of trying to start another pointless argument here

In the datamine it has 20 km range against 1 m^2, while Wikipedia says 20 km range against 0.1 m^2. It is also not modeled as Ka-Band in game. At any rate testing in this thread and discord has shown typical detection range in battles to be only a few km (not 20 km). So the data-mined value is likely just a coincidence because the actual performance of the MAWS in game does not reflect the Wikipedia article at all.

Also fun fact: despite supposedly being modelled as radar MAWS now it is still triggered by flares currently…

DevilO6 · March 2, 2025, 7:50am

It looks still very much wip, and I wonder if the 10km ranging is correct. After all it needs to provide the warning, and calculate a correct maneuver early enough, so the pilot can react and preform it. Considering how fast modern missiles are, 10km is a very small window.

It has no radar band defined at all:

Likely not finished then. Or who knows, maybe I end up eating my words…

Dontkev · March 2, 2025, 8:08am

Do you have the link to the Russian mod anwser?

Mulatu_Astatke · March 2, 2025, 8:20am

No. I actually thought it was already modelled else I wouldn’t have brought it up. Oops. I probably shouldn’t have said anything.

If it turns out I’m wrong, feel free to say “I told you so”.

WereCat888 · March 2, 2025, 9:44am

Anyone that has the pantsir and some time please message me so we can do a video to fix the EF not identifying the track radar and not seeing launch warning. Pleas.
