F22 or f35 should have higher thrust efficiency loss due to the s-ducts.
They had to sacrifice alot of flight performance for stealth.

Rafale also has S ducts btw. Which is why the current loss figure seems fair.
does anyone know how to use Rafale’s arrest hook ? I couldn’t get it to deploy in custom battles
Are building KAI Boramae KF-21
- They’re about 25 years behind
- They are still using slam eagles and they like them
Hey all, eurofighter pilot here.
I’d just like to mention that I struggle IMMENSELY against Rafale specifically. And that is a good thing because it keeps Eurofighters in check.
A jet with almost the same flight parameters and capabilities as mine, but with 8 MICA’s that I consider the best ARH in the game. (The only ARH that I struggle with defending, I die to it 9 out of 10 times even trying to notch it)
So nice going Frenchbros, for getting one of (possibly the ) best top tier aircraft in game!

It is not working yet
Thats why F22 has insane engines to compensate channel looses.
F22’s flight model is still one of the best, if not the best.

It’s funny to me how much a 1970s airframe modified to be basically a tactical bomber with 1990s avionics and weapons has affected top tier, to the point where a 2000s airframe in its 2018 version was considered to be justified to fight it

2010s*
It doesn’t have its AESA radar, and JHMCS is from early 2000s
Everything is 1990s except for the JHMCS, considering that iirc Rafale in game didn’t have HMD irl, it’s fine to overlook
Engines that weren’t used by F-15Es in America for quite a while too
Engine from 80’s on the F-15, , USAF F-15E had PW-229 years before the F-15I was first made
Did not equip until later, in fact many are still getting them
Thx Bro !

What do you mean “not equipped until later” I just said that they had them operationally since 1990s, upgrade program going on or not is completely irrelevant to when it reached initial service

Seems like this should be incorporated into Mudhen thread

F-15Es stuck with older engines for quite a while in US service hence the original choice to not have them with them in-game
Similar to the Rafale, where plug-and-play HMD was tested commonly as it was apart of the export package
I’m sure once other nations get their F-15E equal, it will get its AESA radar anyways
I mean in the 199X manual it is said that the production switched to the 229 engines in 1993 iirc.
