I reported the Mk.106 engine limits, we will see Maximum Continuous (~90% RPM / 70-80% Throttle) raised to 1 hour, and Maximum Dry (~99% RPM / ~90% Throttle) raised from 10 minutes to 15 minutes.

It’s a tough call, AMRAAM is the greater equaliser. Though unlike all-aspects (at 10.3) everything does or should have plenty of chaff and they don’t appear to be that strong yet.
I think others are right. We are going to need to slog it out till the next BR change and then make our case then. I don’t think it would work yet
Yes，Lowering BR to 12.0 is likely to make it somewhat competitive, but it’s still hard to say.
Let’s compare it to the gr7, and it’s clear that its advantage is the excellent radar (but it’s hard to say whether this will be its advantage, because its airframe performance is so bad that it’s only about 9.7, which makes its ability to use radar to lock on to targets at this weight is very low) with the aim120. Its disadvantage lies in its extremely poor airframe performance (9.7 level)
Even with the gr7’s airframe performance (around 11.0), I admit it’s flexible, but it’s almost impossible to attack from low altitude, because it only has an advantage in the first round of hovering, but its energy will be lost rapidly in combat, so the best way for him to attack is to attack from top to bottom and then break away.
But fa2 is very difficult to accomplish even this kind of top-down attack. As I said earlier, only a maximum overload of 6G at 5000 m will make it very difficult for the target to enter the attack envelope of the missile quickly, whether it is against the target at the same altitude or the target at a low altitude. (Now even the U-turn is done very slowly.)
To sum up, a 9.7 airframe is too weak for a 12.3, and even though it has one of the best weapon systems in the game, its lack of HMD, coupled with its poor pointing ability, will make it difficult for it to take the lead。It is also difficult to avoid any missile of this weight.(It is also difficult to avoid any missile of this weight.)
As far as the aim120 is concerned, it’s hard to say what’s the difference between it and the aim54 at a long distance. Of course, it’s worth affirming that the 120a is very powerful within 16 km, but it may not be as good as the r27er at this distance.
does the radat have any upgrades over the defualt one? because a lack of pd at this br is a deal breaker lol. so i am assuming its better than what we already have.
You mean the radar on the FA.2 compared to the FRS.1?
by the way, i don’t know how to make a thread in the dev area,And I have every reason to believe that gaijin will shrug off this kind of vote, they always only believe in game data when it comes to BR tuning, and a lot of times even a bad performance of a plane won’t change its BR because it has good missiles (fire sticks-because you don’t have a chance to launch them)like the su39
yeah, whats the difference between the frs 1 and fa 2. is it huge and im making a fool of myself lol.
It’s big, the Blue Vixen is basically the same radar as on the JAS39, much more capable than the Blue Fox
oh thank god, shame about the lack of hmd tho. did the sea harriers ever get an hmd or is that something we will never see for it.
But no HMD + 9.7 airframe =……You know.
No, only HMD aircraft the UK had were;
Jaguar GR3/A
Harrier GR9/A
Tornado GR4/A
Typhoon (all)
And Harrier/Tornado actually used salvaged Jaguar GR3 kits. So not all of them had it.

shame we never saw an hmd for the F.3. was it due to limitations with tech compatibility or was it simply because we already had the thumb aiming thing (sorry but i don’t remember the name). seems strange it never saw it considering how long they were in service to.

Great) Now waiting for BOLs on amraam and twin-9M pilons)

i thought the amraams in game already had the BOLs modeled or is it just for the single 9m mount?
Not on FA.2 yet. The AMRAAMs are currently mounted on LAU-7’s as placeholders.

Blue Vixen was considered one of the best mechanical radars of its era. Went on to be developed into the ECR90 for the Typhoon.
I think it’s considered equal to the AN/APG-73 in terms of performance but in a smaller package
There was an incident in 1995 during operation deny flight in Bosnia. A squadron of FA2s were denied permission to fire on a flight of low flying hostile aircraft because the circling AWAC couldn’t see them. The air commander didn’t believe the contacts were real. Afterwards proof was given that the contacts were real and kills could have been gotten. So the air commander put out standing orders to always believe the FA2s radar contacts were real.

Typhoon was the main reason, but other than that money.
Yeah single prototype, I’m on about in service stuff.

Do you know if Italy’s AV-8B+ is going to get 4 AIM120s? I haven’t seen anyone talk about it anywhere but I know a few have tried to report it but have been declined.
