And the Esky installed post-delivery.
Would have been interesting to have a delta canard update, but Typhoon and Rafale are a fair bit better than the J10
Later J-10 variants are on par with both the Rafale and Typhoon, early variants like the J-10A aren’t however but you shouldn’t underestimate Chinese engineering (the PL-10 would be just nasty).
Same would apply to all nations however like Russia with their SU-35S or Pakistan with their later JF-17

JDAMs which are only useful against bases, not airfields nor moving targets.
ALE-40 flare buckets?
F-111F has 240 countermeasures available to it.
RWR will be similar.
F-111C never used AIM-132.
And for the purposes of WT, AGM-142s would be worse than AGM-65Gs. Though naval could see something interesting done with AGM-142s.
Oh, and AGM-84s are only useful against bases…
scharnhorst cooked
lol. lmao even. imagine gaijin adding standoff weapons of that calibre to the game that no SPAA could hope to counter. it’s extremely unlikely barring the addition of things like S-300s and Patriots.
Apparently a squadron vehicle - spotted the SD-10 on it as well (ARH missile), that thing will be played and spammed like the damn IRIAF F-14A event aircraft.
Well if Scharnhorst is brought to ~11 then it’s already cooked.
with current map sizes in non EC naval a scharnhorst might do well against a modern destroyer
That is is simply not true, heres i the full list of operational ordinance used in RAAF service. “Four Harpoon anti-ship missiles;
combinations of Mk.82 and Mk.84 bombs or
Paveway II laser-guided bombs with AIM-9
Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. Also capable of
delivering GBU-15 electro-optical glide bombs
or AGM-142 stand-off missiles.” source: https://www.airforce.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-07/F111%20A8-142.pdf
The J-10 we’re receiving is a less advanced variant compared to the Typhoon, the Typhoon would obliterate all aircraft in-game unless heavily nerfed.

I see you forgot F-15C MSIP II is in the game, which is Typhoon’s direct equivalent in BVR.
And as you can see, while F-15C is OP, it’s not obliterating everything as you imply.
The Su-24M2 has countermeasures on the topside.
This is a further evolution of the SU-24M by the looks of it, possibly a M2.
unless heavily nerfed
We don’t have the AIM-9X or the AIM-120D on the F-15C MSIP II do we? It’s a artificially nerfed F-15C to fit top tier USA.
The Su-24M2 has countermeasures on the topside
So does the regular SU-24M if I’m correct.

Typhoon uses AIM-9M/Li and AIM-120B as well.
F-15C is not artificially nerfed.
The F-15C MSIP II isnt even using the AMRAAM C-4/5s that is also used, the AMRAAM A is the only version comparable in performance so other FOX-3s so i guess they just use it for balance.

Which is irrelevant, it still has a historical loadout and has all its systems outside jamming which isn’t in-game at all yet.
F-15C is not artificially nerfed, nice lying
In the sector of secondary ordinances you lovely man, obviously the FM itself isn’t handicapped.
Typhoon uses AIM-9M/Li and AIM-120B as well
Missed the part where I said “unless heavily nerfed” (through secondary weapons)? You’re just selecting which of my sentences to argue over like a baby, a fully kitted up Typhoon would smoke the F-15C MSIP II and all other aircraft in-game with ease.
doesnt have BOL pods, but that is pretty minor

So are perfectly useful against SAMs, and area targets at extended ranges vs F&F ordnance, also a lock is much easier top establish and have much better glide performance.
Done for commonality with other CM systems in use by the RAAF, since the ALE-28 uses effectively bespoke cartridges and so cannot take advantage of advanced designs like the MJU-51 or -47, also though the use of the modular bucket (MJU-11, -12 or -17, with 1x1" (M206), 1x2"(MJU-7) and 2x2"(MJU-10) sizing options) could be tailored to the expected threat.
No, the ALR-62(V)7 is closer to a the ALR-67 (F-15C), than the ALR-45 (F-14A) in terms of in game systems.
???
Considering its counterpart is the GBU-8 / -15 & AGM-130 that isn’t really saying much, and the much larger Warhead makes it significantly more forgiving.
The point is that it has a wider selection of ordnance options that make it much more effective regardless of the target set vs the F-111F, and better defensive systems, let alone the greater thrust of the later engines.
Which it doesn’t currently use IRL.
Also @TPS_Hydra , historical weapons =/= nerfed.
And since you resorted to insults, thanks for admitting to posting incorrect information.
A “fully kitted” Typhoon means all of its AAM pylons filled, which is still just AIM-120Bs and AIM-9Li/Ms [a historical loadout].
Also for something to be a nerf, it has to go from one state to another in a negative direction.
F-15C has only been buffed since release.
That is a test unit, not a general production F-111C until proven otherwise.
No, they aren’t for SAMs move.
