The skin is of an early FRS.1(e). Exactly what it is.
Its weapon set doesn’t define its skin. Thats a balancing factor. The all-over Grey is already present on the later FRS.1.
Still a shame it has a terrible skin and 0 alternatives in-game. the bright blue makes you stand out like a sore thumb, and thats without the wet bonfire of smoke coming out the back of the airframe.
I missed that part, but it should be able to guide on teammates’ radar data even if you turned away, I don’t think any other IIR missiles have that currently.

I am financially stable.
That’s not two-way datalink as I understand it. Regular MICA has 3rd party targeting feature as well, but doesn’t have 3rd party datalinking the missile itself during its transit.

i mean missile talking back to the host carrier after launch is 2 way datalink no?
What you’re seeing here is that the teammate aircraft transmitted information to the host aircraft. The host aircraft then fired the missile using teammate’s initial targeting information.
You can see that the Rafale with original MICAs have this capability as well.

According to MBDA, two-way datalink is network centric enabled with two explicit features, maybe there’s more but these are the two we know for sure.
-
Being able to be guided by AWACs, fighters, and other assets (potentially ground to air surface radars and ships?)
-
Capable of in-flight retargeting.

Couldn’t Italy receive the aircraft on which they actually tested ECRS MK-0 instead?
I honestly don’t understand why such AESA representation was added for Italy at all, like is it always necessary to have absolutely identical capabilities for each Typhoon nation?
I truly don’t care. I would find it funny if Gaijin added the Senrai Lords just to add male anime characters but I doubt they would sell well. Buy there are women gamers and guys that would like them if there designed well.
I just want more tonks
Nah screw that.
We need moar lizards vs BIG BUFF MEN.
Hella memes
More stuff for Sweden is always welcome
So an AIM-174, 9X-2, and GBU-53 would all be 2-way DL for sure
Do you think they’re gonna add the VBCI Philoctète to France as well, when they’ll release the Greek tech tree ?
Looks like AIM-9X Block 2 has two way datalink, but is there anything confirming AIM-174 has it as well?
the missile was fired from a US ship.
AIM-174B is just a RIM-174B without the booster section and air launched
