More images of Italian EFT carrying ASRAAM’s (I assume it’s the same one as displayed on the original post carrying ASRAAM)

On the internet probably, but you will be ignored/ banned if you try to use it for a bug report or anything like that

I’m not well-educated on Typhoon subject, so sorry for such question, but was AESA radar actually tested on Italian Typhoons or maybe even put in service? Can’t find the information.

Eurofighter Typhoon ISPA6 (MM55169) Aside from this one there could also be CSX7305, but I’m not sure if it actually received ECRS MK0

Not that gajin cares much.
They will just play the compatibility card

Could be, Indeed I’m expecting something like a generic single seat efa with the same radar for all four nations

They’ll use their plausable deniability card to give everyone the worst possible option. Hence - wait for Mk.1 on every EF in the game.
At least I think it’s the worst one, tell me if I’m wrong.

That would be MK.0

I thought MK.0 has bigger possible gimball angle?

Mk.0 uses the same antenna front end as the Mk.2, Mk.0 would only lack the combined A2A, A2G and ECM modes.

That’s good to hear, I didn’t know it shared some components with the MK2

Yeah its a CAPTOR-M with the antenna and repositioner from the ECRS Mk.2;

Spoiler

It’ll be interesting to see if they’ll pick different radars for each nation (even if in my opinion, that’s probably unlikely).

Does it?

Appears to yes, they don’t swap it out in the marketing.

Unless Leonardo is in the business of making different antenna for each Mk. Wasting time and effort. Its the same design.
