British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

Against what? The waves of Pantsir SVs that just shoot down every missile you lob at them.

Perhaps they have forgotten about the Sea Harrier. Hopefully they can add it in this test server, instead of continuing to selectively ignore it. They already have copy‑paste‑ready data, so why keep dragging their feet
They are being somewhat double‑standard when it comes to their so‑called weapon‑trading balance, and their previous “technical feasibility” arguments demonstrate this point.

There’s nothing you can do if Gaijin doesn’t want to give it to you. What’s more, the Pantsir‑SV might just shoot you down as well while it’s at it.

What is EEGS? Sorry if it’s something obvious lol

at least you have 13 reloads before youre losing a reload race to FV4005

Radar gunsight, you know on something like the Tornado GR1/GR4/F3s, FA2, Typhoon, F-18, etc when you lock onto an aircraft with radar, it gives you lead for the target. That is EEGS.

FRS1s should have the same. Perticuarly annoying given the FA2 has the same guns, and has EEGS but the FRS1 dont

Oh that’s stupid it doesn’t have it

Yup… Its especially annoying in ASB where they stated that a gunsight would be added to the HUD when EEGS was added… 2 years ago

the EF dosent have EEGS to this day inside the Cockpit

It seems that the LMM in the test server lacks a laser proximity fuze, and the missile’s g‑load capability is rather poor.(While attempting to intercept the MiG‑15 on the test range)

True, but its more notable for the FRS1, especially the FRS1e where I find myself actually gunfighting quite often.

In the Typhoon, I rarely am. Heck, I rarely even fire the gun in the EFT.

let alone the 27mm is a doddle to aim compared to the 30mm ADENs, with the Harrier also being notably harder than most due to the slightly upward angle of the guns and low position.

Wondering if bloodhound and thunderbird missile could be added to nuclear escalation?

Not in the million years my dude

Also no, cus “We believed SMSV and BUK are underperformed against NATO CAS” while NATO CAS barely have LOS due to the current under-performed-no-fly-zone.

Dealing with the S1 used to be quite a hassle, but now taking on the SMSV is more than twice as difficult — and that’s assuming you’re up against a competent player, not some quick‑grind user with poor mechanical skill.

As long as I was playing , The sweating lobbies are “no fly zone” while the premium lobbies tend to one-death-leave

NATO SPAA can’t defend themselves nor protecting the team from getting LMURED, KH38MTED

Its kinda cringe when the enemy CAS can do top down AOA while my team get blown up one by one.

the drawing data of Arjun Mk1A from Chinese Weibo:
maybe the production factory drawings have leaked, and the contents are very detailed.

Just curious what peoples thoughts are of the new Hawks for the UK? After a short test as I didnt really have much time, I am still on an “unsure” point for GRB BR rating given its extremely limited weapons set and what feels very floaty for its gun and rocket attacks. I am still unsure if I would remove my Strikemaster which carries a massively superior ground strike capability even with a pair of LMGs too (which I personally usually have no issues using to knock out enemy planes even up to 8.0/3 in GRB, also ofc using the SURA as air to air rockets is very easy)

Is its speed and capacity to carry 2/3 bombs really making it a 7.7 BR plane which is the same as the MB 326k which has in my view better handling, especially when taking cannons and rockets?

Im still waiting for them to fix the Hawk low STR issue before I really commit to it. But I also think that compression at that BR is still going to be problematic.

So fixing both would make it a far more interesting aircraft for me in A2A

If it can get a 25mm ADEN pod too, that would be awesome
