Weapon overview

[Spectre11]

Been reading this thread and no mention of the eurofighter carrying SEAD weapons.

I am guessing the ALAARM weapon in DID EF2000 simulation game was a fictitious addition.

 

Are you talking about ALARM or the S-225 LRAAM? The latter was indeed a more fictional weapon, albeit it was what would become Meteor.

 

The ALARM was planned for integration, but the RAF eventually withdrew its stock of ALARMs from service.

The Wild Weasel missile for the german Eurofighter was supposed to be the Armiger, a anti radiation variant of the Meteor. Like the LD10 is the anti radiation variant of the SD10 in the JF-17.

ARMIGER was not exactly an ARM version of the Meteor. It just used a similar ramjet system and that's it. The missile never made it beyond the demonstrator phase, though and was never officially slatted for integration on the Typhoon.

I was specifically talking about the ALARM.

So the Meteor is what will be the closest weapon against SAM we could get.

 

 

Thanks

No the Meteor is pure AA. An ARM version is not in the works.

[TLTeo]

The closest anti-SAM weapon we could get is a GPS guided bomb tbh

[Eaglewings]

Okay I get it. No dedicated weapon for SAM (SEAD) mission in the Eurofighter we would get. I would be fine with a GPS weapon.

Or (L)JDAM.

Or Brimstone.

Or maybe even Storm Shadow.

[Bananabrai]

Storm Shadow would be nice, because that would mean we get a british Typhoon.

Has anyone got the last version that was released of the Eurofighter - 1.1?

Are you referencing a Typhoon mod? This module hasn't been released and probably won't be for a few years..

Hi mate.  It was the V1.7 that the Black Owls shared.  I've got it now...and it works with the latest version of DCS.

Now I need to setup the radar correctly...it doesn't show aircraft targets.

Just FYI in case it wasnt clear, this subforum (DCS: Eurofighter) is not referring to any user made mod, it refers to the full fidelity module that Heatblur is currently developing

Operating Tornado and Typhoon in “mixed pairs” was done in the 2011 air campaign against Libya because Typhoon, though a much newer aircraft, cannot carry several of the RAF’s main weapons, including the much-vaunted Brimstone precision attack missile or Storm Shadow, an air-launched cruise missile used against major targets such as command centres. Only the Tornado can fire these. 

However, Typhoon’s MSCAN Captor radar is described as “vastly superior,” allowing much easier identification of targets – or potentially hostile forces. 

“It can see further, it is more accurate and it supports missiles in flight so they are more likely to hit,” said Mr Lake. 

The aircraft’s PIRATE infrared search and tracking system and its defensive aids subsystem (DASS), including electronic jamming and deception, chaff and missile warners, are also highly capable. 

Typhoon is also better linked to the “big picture,” whole-battlefield information coming from surveillance and reconnaissance planes. 

“The Typhoon has the displays and the software and the processing power to wrap all these systems into the best quality air picture, with all the elements fused properly,” said Mr Lake. “The Typhoon pilot has much better situational awareness than a Tornado pilot. He then transfers that picture to the Tornado by secure datalink – the Tornado can’t build the picture, but it can receive it.” 

Unlike Tornado, Typhoon can also carry Amraam air-to-air missiles for medium-range self-defence. Significantly, the two Typhoons which left on Friday night’s attack mission were seen to be carrying these missiles. 

They were also armed with Paveway IV smart bombs, the standard weapon likely to be used by the British in Syria.

Interesting on the state of the Typhoon’s weapons integration in 2015 for the RAF.
