Realistic drag isnt modelled in game. You wont see a real F15E do mach 1.6 at 15km alt with a full bomb loadout and all missiles.

you wont see any jet going above mach 1 with external bomb stores irl but no one cares about operational restrictions

Fair.
However that still leaves the lacking TWR and the fact that you become dead in the water as long as you turn for more than 3 seconds.
That’s basically the case for every single missile ever, incl MICA and ASRAAM so :Shrug:

No, no it cant.
Its useless loadout exept against 3rd world countries or drones. You literally cant get up to speed, you will be always outranged at high alt BVR and you cant really turn with that load as you will bleed all your energy.
You hit the nail on the head. Just bc Wikipedia says 25km or some other arbitrary number doesn’t mean it will reach that 100% of the time. But apparently some people don’t understand that here
And best believe US mains will bring 10 AMRAAMS the go on to complain about the hornet being bad, as with most of their vehicles, most problems are user related

You can be certain about it. I actually want them to add this loadout so the typical “capability coomers” will kill themselves. Its similar to people using drop tanks on F-5Es in DCS or same, 10 amraam loadouts in DCS against stuff like F-16, Strike Eagle or JF-17.

No it cant what?
Eurofighter cant carry 6x BVR missiles and 6x short range IR missiles. Not the ones we will get and i doubt even late versions could.
6x BVR 2x IR
4x BVR 4x IR
Or in case of british with double racks for asraams
4x BVR and 6x IR

it shows you have no idea about eurofighters then
we got multiple sources for 12 missle loadout and even more for the 10 missle loadout (6wvr , 4 bvr)
feel free to post them…
the Uk thread is full of them but sure
I mean even when running a more reasonable loadout, I think the 18C just isn’t in the same league as the F-15C/15E/Typhoon/Rafale in the current top tier gameplay meta.
I literally use UK thread mainly and saw nothing as such. One dubious paper without any other source. Everyone else talks about
6x bvr 2x ir
4x bvr 4x ir
4x bvr 6x ir
I’ve finally managed to get my IPA7 suggestion done, bonus; IPA3 and IPA8 as well, even though these don’t differ alot.
Whats also interesting (at least to me); @Faster_Boiiiii Regarding the Swiss evaluation document from 2008, I came across a picture on the Eurofighter website showing the IPA3 on a Swiss airfield in November 2008 - the picture taken by Eurofighter GmbH. It is very likely that the IPA3 was tested by the Swiss Air Force and not an actual production aircraft, which could explains the (more or less good) results.

Nah, it should have been added with F-15C MSIP II.
That thing is DOA. Only thing it can do really well is pointing nose at super slow speeds. It can wipe the floor with thrust vectoring flankers due to it but thats all it can do well. USN wants something fast as fleet defender because hornernets or superhornets simply CANT do this role
