Yeah the A10C with those HMD markings is a bit wierd. If its Buddy-lasing, then AGM-114Hellfires are about to get a pretty nice buff.
Yes a Rafale F2 would be at a disadvantage against a late J10 or JF17. If we compare each contemporary variant (Rafale F2 with JF17 bock 1, F3 with Block 2, F3R - F4 with block 3, and same thing for EF), it is not the case
RBE2 has around 800 T/R modules. Little is known about its performances at this time.
AMRAAM is about to become obsolete, that’s why the US are working on the 260. I’m also not too convinced having a long range missile against a stealth jet like the 22 is that useful, since the range limitation comes from the seeker head / the mothership’s radar and not the energy the missile can give (unless it’s IR, then why not).
In any case 150km isn’t going to help against a meteor.
Isn’t PL15 supposed to be in a fork of 200-300 km instead of 150 though, unless you specifically refer to the export variant ?
5th gen and stealth applied to fighter jets didn’t exist at the time EF and rafale were developped, except for the 22 program which wasn’t in service. Stealth isn’t binary though, but linear, so it’s still undeniable it gives an advantage. To what extent though, difficult to say.
the crosses are friendly units, marked on the hud to reduce “blue on blue” incidents, but yeah if the US don’t get AGM-114Ls then they’ll need something to reduce time spent out of cover
Would be a nice way to even out the playing field for Hellfire Helis without adding the 114L.
definitely, but if you ask me… the fact that the khrizantema has a radar that goes through smoke with 14 or so missiles that can be guided through said smoke… idk, it doesn’t seem like its too far fetched and besides, there’s still hard cover to block it too. #MyOpinion
While it has a radar and 14 missiles, it cant fire all 14 at once at different targets. And unlike 9M123 , The Hellfire has a warhead that isn’t anemic.

TBH i never knew about the su-24, or just never remember hearing anything about it, but when it was put in the leaks i went down the rabbit hole and got excited. It looks to be a lot of fun depending on the armament they give it ( also Gaijin when cluster bombs? ) Its defiantly a great looking plane.
I hope something can be done. It is fun to to ground RB with the planes, and sim ground depending on the br for the time period. Would be nice to have something that would let the attack aircraft utilize theere specialties rather than its a plane go bomb a base then try to shot down planes that can fly circles around you, or its a cas plane so you want to play it in ground RB. I like playing ground rb but im not that great at it and being able to fly a fun plane for 3 min per game is just kinds eh. Game mode specifically for attackers or give it a pve mode like helies with lots of ground targets not just convoys and group spawns. Bunkers to blow up , sam sites, radar ect ect.
I suppose that’s valid.
As for the anemic warhead? I’ve had my fair share of hellfires do diddly squat to a tank, and they don’t come down from top attack either, probably a bug but idk, seen it on the bug reporting site but have yet to see anything new about it.
Cluster munitions would be sick, they’ve already added napalm so surely it’s in the works
Of course they could do this, but it would be a snowball effect, they would have to do this for all nations and they won’t do this in a single update.
anyone else notice that in the trailer when the Gripen is shot with the missile the wings denigrate but leave the controls in place? That is one precision missile lol

That is current Gripen DM. You can replicate that in game easly.
I wait since one year te ZTQ-15 for China, please in the next update can you put this awsomely beautiful ZTQ-15!😍😍
Seems like it. I also believe the X’s on the A-10C HMD are marked GPS points.
ohhh this should be fun
That is the lowest number I could find on the internet but to be fair it should be somewhere between 200-350km range. Meteor has just gone into service so I don’t have any idea about the realistic range, but the expected value is around 400.
That is true but PL15 has much larger antenna even in comparison to Meteor at 210mm so it should allow similar range even if the radar itself is worse. PL15 is huge, half a meter longer than meteor as well, if they change the radar I think it can go further.

Just a reminder that PLAAF also has PL-17 in its arsenal which has estimated range of 300-400km. Also domestic PL-15 (not PL-15E) is confirmed to have 200km+ range by its designer.
That thing is mainly against transport aircrafts or refuelling aircrafts rather than meteor and Pl15 which are supposed to take out enemy fighters. Although I do doubt with how long it took and the abrupt finish Meteor can reach it’s designated range.
