And even then SS will come 4 updates after G-1.

Potentially 4, depending on how Gaijin feels (though a terrain following LOAL IIR+GPS cruise missile with terminal lofting and well over 100km range might be slightly more capable than a GPS bomb with a rocket motor)

Eh, i am one step ahead thinking about typhoon capability partialy the whole time

In that case i guess it depends if this chart can be corroborated at all?

Spoiler

Plenty of stuff there is correct, but the Skyflash/ASPIDE stuff is nonsense dating back to the original requirements from the Italian air force for a CW illuminator that never materialized.

Sad that chart shows Skyflash really dont want to have to grind the Typhoon and have that as a 40k RP unlock

Thats the question just didnt see it yet at all either

Any tips for the Gr.4 and Brimstones in GRB? On the times I’m not insta-killed by a Pantsir, I try guiding a Brimstone but I’m already over the target and struggling to maintain lock by the time the missile reaches the target.

Don’t use Brimstone as your SEAD weapon, use Paveway IV in GPS mode. SPAA don’t move 90% of the time and GPS bombs are the best way of dealing with them.

Thanks!

Did the Gr.4 have a Ground Attack Radar, similar to that on the F-15E?

Same as the one on GR1 yeah, isn’t much use in game as its track range is round 6.7km. Blue Vixen and PS-05A should have TWS GMTI though. But still waiting on those modes being introduced.

How do you use the Paveway’s in GPS mode? Every time I drop one the laser automatically comes on.

you can disable automatic laser activation in the settings, and the seeker only has a range of ~4km last i checked

Ah yes, just worked it out thanks. What’s the range for lobbing a paveway on GPS? I just managed 10km in test flight

I’m not sure but the targeting pod/FLIR caps out at 20km

20km, limited by the SPI. But low altitude releases at around mach 0.9-1.0 you can easily get 12-14km of of them.

Having issues with the F.3 Late Radar just acting crazy in TWS…
In ground battles it couldn’t detect the 2 boat sized Su-34s. There PESA Radar had no issues

why is TWS so temperamental?

i feel like im having the same issues with post launch, simply cant hit anything without the aim-120b being in pitbull range because the tws constantly loses lock for some reason

Had to switch to ACM mode and even then these massive flying whales were not detected by the Radar…
