Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Do we even have any documented Stinger launches against a Ka-52, or DIRCM equipt airframes?

I know they have been used but most of them tended to be Mi-8 / Mi-24 or assorted other airframes.

Multiple Ka-52s down, especially in first weeks
But idk about documentation, outside of fact that heli is down

Hint hint, those were Iglas

Igla buff?

The subreddit CombatFootage should have what you’re looking for, but many allege these Ka-52s were not equipped with the DIRCM.

Well, theres both missiles present

Many ka52 DIRCM just doesnt have time to react

It shouldn’t impact later FIM-92 variants due to its use of a dual bandwidth seeker, and it not containing a UV TWT.

Hard to believe really that they don’t have it
What kind of logic to fight in actives warzone without protection system? It just doesn’t make sense at all
or maybe because it just doesn’t work.

There are tons of footage about Ka-52 that shows they didnt equipped with DIRCM nor HRSS system on active combat zones.

The capabilities of the Ka-52’s irl MAWS system is also dubious at best, as there is a very large amount of footage of Ka-52’s barely reacting split seconds before impact (or occasionally just before the missile rips by the heli in near misses), and multiple video-taped instances of the helicopter not reacting at all, such as the multiple famous instances of Ka-52 shot down by Stugna-P ATGM’s. If the MAWS system isnt reacting until the very last second, its very likely even if it had DIRCM installed, the DIRCM system likely isnt being provided a target to blind until its much too late.

leave it, but in game F-15A has 102% engine trim

what about the almost 40° of ITR

Buddy, almost every single top tier jet overperforms due to game engine.

This is not something special to F-15 or any other jet.

What is going on with this video

No idea, very strange. But so is the users loadout, just 2x120B? isn’t the default 2x9M 2x120B?

Waitt… they have a full CM load without BOL even on the wing. Loadout is bugged, they need to delete the full loadout and remake it.

thats not a default loadout lol
3 wing tanks are without weapons as default

Listen, i know it is a magical and nearly universal method, but i dont think this is going to help with this one

List here you, last time someone told me “I already did that” and I made them do it again. What happened? It fixed it. Believe it or not but stores impact weight and therefore where you rip at what load. So if the loadout is completely bugged out its possible that’s why it randomly broke.
