It has CMs and it is a bully at its BR
You have me check DMs just to say you aren’t gonna share, hilarious
In Air battles? Not ground battles 2 bombs no AGM-65 and rear aspect missiles.
In ground
For the BR, TIALD + PHIMAT is a pretty decent combo for GRB. You are a little vulnerable to air attack, but that is the balance it should be for that BR.
Though there are a few buffs the GR1A could do with like Gen 2 TIALD and the GR1Bs Digital RWR.
I havent used it for a while to be fair
Except I did share them 😂😂 you can’t be serious.
Me when the guy makes fakes documents for reports (Mig_23M) lies
I said that before we discussed realistic AoA limits, glad you’ve come around on that now.
The radar being trash and the HMD being bugged in VR, along with the still missing GBU-31’s is tragic. Flying the plane in test flight really is making me look forward to this plane being fixed, particularly with how nice the MFD displays are. I hope they fix the EFT’s soon.
On the flip side, everyone and their grandma (including myself) seem to be grinding the Rafale at the moment, with it being the best plane in-game, particularly in sim, thats to be expected unfortunately.
i was always of the mind that the AoA limit is roughly 30 degrees ahaha

Fingers crossed the fixes start rolling again this week or next. ,They should be back from holiday soon.
and yeah, AESA, + 8x MICA is a rather insane combo. Only hope in the Typhoon is to stay at range
Orthadox Christmas is January 7th. So I doubt we’ll see much happening before W/C 13th Jan.

AESA (which btw, the french players all seem to be complaining about despite being one of if not the best radars ingame), 8x MICA, full coverage MAWS and RWR, large caliber countermeasures, HMD IFF (only fighter ingame to have it despite being bug reported for others), fantastic gun, fantastic FM, built in targeting cam.
The only thing it doesnt do well is kill bases, and the french players are still whining its not good enough for them. I cant think of a better air to air jet in sim right now. If you’re only doing air to air, theres effectively nothing its bad to a point it can be counted as a “weakness”.
“Well it cant BVR very well cuz of the MICA’s gimped range” doesnt matter cuz it can just sit near a notch and let you waste missiles until you’re in range for a garanteed kill MICA shot, or until you run out of ordinance and have to RTB, at which point itll chase you down and kill you.

I knew it extended a bit into jan, but forgot it was that far, so yeah, week afte rnext fingers crossed
Besides the missing full 140° scan mode and 1-2 other minor issues with it, RBE2-AA is def the best Airborne Radar in-game atm and makes a lot of fun. Personally can’t wait for EFT (and other) with AESA.

Yeah, and even then, 6x AASM fired at a base using CCRP from moderate range is not a half bad way of generating some passive income in Sim as well.
I really need to dust off my Mirage F1C-200 and contine grinding the French tree. With the current state of the Typhoon, having an alternative might be nice
I really hope we arent waiting years for CAPTOR-E on the Typhoon

Realistically, i sorta hope we do have to wait a bit, this insane powercreep does not bode well for the game imo. They skipped effectively every Rafale model to add what is basicly just a renamed F4.1, so france doesnt really have anything else to add but a rafale with meteor. The only thing left “missing” from the EFT’s is CAPTOR-E, improved missiles, and potentially the AMK kit. Most future US additions were made largely obsolete by the F-15E, barring the F-15EX/F-22/F-35, China has some fleshing out it can get, Japan only has 1-3 more jets to add, Sweden only has 1-2, Russia has a lot of other flankers, but like the Su-33, its likely theyll continue to disapoint, etc…
All the top jets of the last 2 patches were too early to the game, and the only stuff left to add is stuff thats much too high performance for it to even make sense ingame. Why add meteor with a NEZ the size of the largest air maps ingame, owhy add new munitions when the current ones already outrange any AA systems the ground forces players could get barring strategic level GBAD like Patriot and S-300, etc…
Ive said this a billion times at this point, but gameplay is supposed to lead implementations, not the other way around, and its not even being done the other way around realistically, as gaijin is adding gamebreaking thing after gamebreaking thing and NOT adjusting the game for them, just hoping the complaints die off.
If gaijin continues to treat the game as they have for the last year, WT could legitimately die within the next year or 2 at most. They have almost nothing left to add to “draw in” more players, and theyve been adding entire techtrees of copy pastes instead of adding unique indigenous vehicles (BeNeLux for example). As for gameplay, we havent gotten a new sim map in 2-3 years now, and the GFRB maps keep getting shrunk and dumbed down for the pre-teen premium playerbase. With the recent cost of new premiums, I wouldnt be suprised if gaijin already knows the games death is emminent and is just squeezing the community for all thats left before they jump ship.
The CAPTOR-E is not needed. With the current map sizes and mission sets we have in-game, a properly modelled CAPTOR-M is more than enough. CAPTOR-E would just be miserable to fight against, not that we have anything on CAPTOR-E beyond its gimbal limits and scan speed iirc.
