| Name | 140+ Large | 139- Small |
Missile Vsmall | Detect Chance | Function | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RBE2 | 84 | 5 | 15 | 80% | AI, SS | Provides simultaneous air and surface modes, Terrain-following. Low Probability of Intercept. ESM chance is 10% per tactical turn radiating. |
SENSORS
RWR (5.7). Notifies aircraft if it is under attack by a radar-guided weapon.
Advanced Bombsight (6.2.3). These first-line systems use laser rangefinders and advanced computers to accurately deliver unguided ordnance. There is a +30% modifier to unguided weapon attacks for aircraft using this system.

ENDURANCE
Inflight Refuel?: Yes
Cruise Range: 1000 nm
Internal Fuel: 4252 kg
Payload: 6000 kg
REMARKS
Multiple launch vs. 8 targets at once (not in dogfight). Internal ECCM suite equivalent to 10% radar jamming pod. Uses sophisticated helmet mounted sight: Add +10% to chance of gaining position IR missile launch in dogfight. Stealth mods reduce RCS (treat as .1 m2 target). Payload will be halved to 3000 kg and MTOW limited to 16500 kg because of steam catapult limitations of Foch class.
