Eurofighter Typhoon (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

is the asramm be able to?
or does it use a different launch rail from the sidewinders unlike the IRIS-T

No idea tbh

i think wherever an aam9 can fitt an asraam can.

ASRAAM works on the same rails as any AIM-9M

funny enough im pretty sure the dual rack was a liberty gaijin took because I know the dual rack was for ASRAAMs

the picture of the dual rack we have carries the IRIS-T


and the IRIS-T uses the same launch rail as the sidewinder,
it was able to be fired by the F-4F ice without modifing the launch rail

ASRAAM and IRIS-T were specifically designed to be intercompatible with Aim-9.

fair enough

considering gaijin has kinda just combined all of the EFT variants I wonder if they will all get IRIST and ASRAAM because if they do, I assume the “meta” loadout would be 4 Meteors, 4 ASRAAMs and 2 IRISTs

We’ll have to wait and see. I hope they dont, not only because thats a balancing mess, but also gives a reason to fly more than 1 Typhoon and in SB, it creates asymmetry between FGR4 and EF-2000

I think Italian would get both- trialed asraam and has iris-t. Not sure about british

Britian is pure ASRAAM. (Why you’d want to use the ASRAAM-Lite instead of the full ASRAAM is beyond me :P )

But I can see Italy just having IRIS-T because that is what it actually used. with the disclaimer of “Yes, we know there is a picture with both, but for balance, its limited to just the main weapon it used”

Imagine, an EF with AMRAAM, ASRAAM, Meteor and IRIS-T xD

Throw a few Prox fuse Brimstone 3s in there for good measure

Would literally be prepared for anything

How about an Taurus on top?

Not quite as useful for A2A combat though

Sure, but good for AF camper ))))

True, pre-fire off a few before slaughtering the enemy team :P
