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.
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
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.
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.
Exactly why idk if leaving the eurofighter out of aim120c-5 would be fair necessarily. Especially if F15e gets it. I’d rather have 4-6x 120c-5s v.s. 4-8 120bs.
Don’t know either. We’ll have to see how the EF will compare against Eagles on the live server. If they are close enough, neither shoould get C5 IMO since it will be faaaar too strong currently. But if theres enough ofna performance gap then I could see either jet get C5 to compensate.
Who am I even kidding. America mains are going to get clowned on by the first EFs they see and immediately call for C5s, 5 minutes after the upddate goes live
As right as i think you are, I personally hope the first plane to get c-5 is hornet. That way it gives the hornet some bite in bvr compared to the faster, more capable planes like f15 and eurofighter. It wouldn’t be untouchable in bvr as something as fast as f15e or eurofighter can probably match the range with speed and alt.
