Regarding the name of the German Eurofighter:
On a side note, we are now at 40 reports.
and thats not even counting those for PIRATE or those due when we see the new FM/Radar
Carrying the same amount of Fox3’s as some other top tier jets, with the addition of 4 more Fox2’s and a better radar, right?
So effectively this thing is leagues better than its competitors(as it currently stands), or no?
4-6 ARH and 2-6 IR missiles. So less ARH than the F-15C or F-15E, and less missiles overall than the Su-27s. Optimal config will probably be 2+6 or 4+5 at which pont its reasonably average.
We’ll have to wait and see how they model CAPTOR-M, but should be the best Mechanical radar in the game.
F-15E (US and Israel) will be able to fight it just fine
F-15C (US, Israel and Japan) will have a little harder time, but should do just fine
Rafale (France) will do fine (if the FM get fixed)
J-10A (China) will do fine against it
Su-27SM (Soviets) will struggle against it
Gripen C (Sweden) will be okay, but its gunna be a bit of an uphill fight for them.

For BVR, Typhoon is equal to F-15C/E, and Rafale.
All of the things listed are slightly superior in BVR to the single-engined 13.7 fighters
Su-27SM is marginally worse than the twin engined meta, but better than single engine’d 13.7 fighters.
And WVR Typhoon will bet the best.
Thanks for the responses.
That comparison is disingenuous, as you do not know the loadout, fuel, etc of the Airbus number. All known sources roughly corroborate these
Oh yeah I want to see the sources that says there is an F-15C with 229s. There is nothing disingenuous about not trusting a source that puts in false information. Hell I would say it is disingenuous to say they are accurate.
Note how the source specifically says which engine they ran the numbers with, to ensure that no matter what the result is one can tell where they got it from? The F-15Cs numbers are reference figures, not the actual plane.
Having to point to a completely different Aircraft to find what you believed to be a flaw in the data does indicate you have no actual sources that contradict the current claims. Minding that the current claims are very consistent across sources
so what you are saying that these are speculative numbers then?
Thats if they don’t give us the dual 120 wing pylon as well. we might get 10 missiles period with 8 bvr 2 wvr or 6 wvr and 4 bvr.
I thought someone said it was in files. Somewhere in one of these threads I saw it. Not sure how true it is.
Which frankly would be utter BS.
It is in the files. it takes the same place as the 2xli pylon.
So then it’s probably coming, I would assume.
Best wvr fighter, best bvr fighter lol. As a GRB main, this doesn’t bode well for me… yay.
Well, plenty of things hit the files and never hit the live game. It could also just be preparations for a future update. Where instead of giving it better missiles, it gets the double 120b pylon instead. Like the MICA ng pylon thats not coming this update.
Fair play, I don’t really pay attention to dev server stuff in the sense of how pre release works out to live. Just to watch what’s coming. So I’ll take your word.
Though, I would say that would be fair. If the plan is the future for other jets to get upgraded aims like 120c-5 + and yall just get 2 more aim120b instead.
Idk if it would be fair per se, but it definitely seems like something the snail would do. Especially if f15c/e gets 120c-5 or better, it would just stomp again.
As opposed to what? You having the better WVR fighter, best bvr fighter, and the 2nd best loadout of missiles? For which the fighter that beats you in missile truck capabilities utterly pales against EF in every other capacity?
Nah, sounds about right to me, but that’s just me.
By that I mean aim120’s are already good. So getting better but fewer seems about close to more but slightly less good.
Again, my opinion. Which a lot of which is based on performance in GRB, not purely ARB. That’s not my wheelhouse.
Well the block 10 does have AMRAAM C5 integration
The F15e should already be faster in a straight line than the eurofighter, though the eurofighter is far more nimbal and the f15e needs to drink fuel to do it. The aim120 c-5 increases the range substantially. So anything without it is going to be at a massive range disadvantage unless its on something slower like a hornet. Put it on the F16 or the F15 and it’ll be the best bvr missile in the game bar none. It’s not really about the Eurofighter per se, but more about how would the rest of the game manage to cope with that. Even Rafale only has 32 flares and 6 missiles at 14.0, mica is already shorter ranged than it should be too.
