Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

it can be worse

AFAIK the F/A-18E is still overperforming to hell in its flight model by quite a bit. iirc its a near copy paste of F-18C when it should be quite a bit worse

Far too much Turn (10-20% or so, i didn’t calculate precisely)
incorrect Thrust

Do you know which radar IPA7 (GAF/Airbus) aircraft (98+07) was mounted with?

The ears mk2 radar is also included in the Airbus consortium, did you consider giving it to Germany for a fair balance?

it was not

Only funded by Italy and UK done be Leonardo

Also Airbus consortium?

thats what caught ur attention and not

EPW2 exists as a domestic option and is already under review. Thus no need for GNU-48.

According to the video from Indra, a Spanish defense company, the radar rendering is greater than ±90 in the promotional video of capto



r-e,m(mo0,mk1,mk2), so can this material be adopted as evidence?

ECRS Mk 2 is being completed by Leonardo and BAE systems.

ECRS MK 1 is being handled by Hensoldt/Indra.

Germany has selected ECRS MK 1 with Spain.

Its already been seen and speaking in a general sense about 0, 1 and 2. Not spesific to any individual one. When sources spesific to ECRS Mk 1 claim otherwise. Coupled with the difference in design elements and backing plate arrangements.

So sadly its nothing new.

…for a year?

All we ask is it to be there as a placeholder until EPW2 is ready as they will effectively perform the same.

if not, Will there be any news on the domestic EPW2’s addition to the British Typhoons?

Its not planned to be added as a placeholder whilst the EPW2 is under review. That is the focus for now.

If something changes, we will update the reports accordingly.

Eh, its flight performance is already dogwater so wouldnt change too much.

less thrust at speed, and more bleed will affect its performance greatly

even outside of dogfights

Take it you havent played F/A-18E yet.

Trust me you will not notice the difference…

Then, can’t you simply ask Bundeswehr or Luftwaffe hensoldt or indra directly? Because there are different data

RR&D having a normal one once again
