Sigh. Let’s not talk about that.
Although I’d say French air is generally blessed above 10.3, while 8.3-9.7 is far from meta. Aside from the 7.7 Ouragan/barougan, not a single MB/mystere airframe is up to par compared to, say a mig15 or other jets at their BR, and while the Alpha Jet is good, but not as good as the German one at the same BR in Air RB (since no flares, despite a slightly better kit overall for CAS I’d say). The etendard is ok, but the BR range is very difficult for flare less jets. The F8U (fn) is pretty abysmal imo as well, and the Mirage IIIC is playable. Starting from the IIIE things get dramatically better (although I haven’t played it in a long while).
I also don’t mention the BENELUX line since I basically have not played it at all aside from a bit of the F16A (which I don’t like, being at 13.0 against 14.0 most of the time)
I put a graph up earlier, with the change it gets very close to the eurofighter but its still slightly worse in every metric. However now it should handily beat the gripen.
Some reports needed to be completely revised. Disregard earlier report posts from today. Thanks to @Mulatu_Astatke and @vizender some reports were revised and new ones were also created.
Welle that’s for recent stuff I remember back then when a lot of player tried to fix the mystère 2a, 2c and Super mystère when they were top tier plane.
They we’rent modified since then in fact the 2C model and 2 A model should be swapped, appart from the gun section.
Yes, this is how ESA radars work.
“Beam splitting” requires multiplication of many radar components (exciter, receiver, signal processor …), which makes the system “beam” times more complex and expensive.
AESA have better reliability and lower energy loses than PESA.
ESA radars in the game are not in their final state and some important features are not implemented yet.
This is true that there is no problem for ESA radars to track detected targets outside the scan zone while searching new contacts there. They can theoretically work simultaneously in BVR and ACM modes or search targets in two zones e.t.c. Reasonable assumption about this may turn to improvements of ESA radars in the game in next updates.
