Best answer

i think the Meteor also deserves its own post as the primary long range weaponry of the 3 Eurocanards but I haven't really looked into that too much yet so I'm lacking sources.

@MBDA_Meteor  do you have any to share?

Typhoon demo with AMK.

 

it does not have the AMK.

the AMK was only ever installed on the IPA7(reg. 98+07). the closest thing to it was the DA5(reg. 98+30) which had the wing root extensions but not the flaperon or fuselage strake modifications.

Guys, is there any information about the range of capture and identification of ground targets such as a tank, IFV and other types of equipment?

i dont have any and its most likely a very closely guarded secret

No. It's lacking the wingroot extensions, the larger fuselage strakes and the extended flaperons.

And it's not the IPA7 so it cannot have the AMK.

 

The production Eurofighter has fuselage strakes. The AMK just has different ones.

How soon do you guys think we will see an early typhoon?

I'd say earliest is Q4 of 2023 with how little UK GER and Italy get in terms of top air, but i'd like to hear what you guys think

I think you right, probably Da1, or somethink like tranch 1 Block 5 or 20.

Q4 2023 makes sense imo but not with the DA1 - no countermeasures and presumably no rwr either. its either a DA5 or a Tranche 1 Block 5. or who knows maybe gaijin will make the DA1 an even vehicle and give it ahistorical Flares and RWR...

We'd prolly get an early block tranche 1 so all 3 nations that actually use the EF can get it at the same time, kinda like what they did with the F16 recently

So the Eurofighter has this neat 'Energy Cue'

you can see it in action here on the HUD. Its that bar on the left side of the HUD, here's a little explanatory graphic that i made:

Spoiler

all of the "values"(or position on the scale) are made up, i just put them somewhere to explain what they do.

 

So you could in theory fly it to its max performance by just looking at the HUD(no need to remember exact turn speeds, AoA, etc)

Some interesting moments on 4:50
It seems to me that this is just an amazing turn rate, even with no AMK

yeah, its a rate fighter lol.

might be surprising, given that its a delta wing, but its primarily a rate fighter.

it can sustain 9Gs until either the pilot passes out or until the jet runs out of fuel.

also the only plane that is alowed by handbook to turn 9G at mach

I don't know whether I should be looking forward to the Eurofighter or not...

 

Gaijin will probably just end up restricting it to AIM-9 variants, because otherwise it would have the best IR missile available without being Russian or American...

Even with just 9Ls its going to be hilariously powerful just because the flight performance is ridiculous

Wow, can you give me your source?(Handbook)
I will be grateful to you. 

Well i cant give u a Hanbook as that would be restricted though

 

here from the Magazine TRUPPENDIENST Folge 303 Ausgabe 3/2008

https://www.bundesheer.at/truppendienst/ausgaben/artikel.php?id=752

 

Derzeit einzigartig ist die Fähigkeit dieses Flugzeuges, 9-g-Manöver auch im Überschallbereich (bis Mach 1,2) fliegen zu können.

 

Atm uniqe is the ability of the plane to fly and pull 9g maneuver up to Mach 1.2
