Fair enough, I was under the impression the US actually ran their double/triple/quad racks on old platforms, but apparently not?
Hornets only use double pylons, super hornet adds one pylon with only a single missile
the rest just uses single pylons iirc
unless you count the f-15 wing pylons as “double”
Yeah muh bad, Typhoon should be fine. Russia and china will still have the edge, but thats about it I think, atleast until later US jets with other rack systems.
Rafale will likely be the king though if it can run the 10x missiles. Itll also be the best ground attack aircraft with the ASSM Hammer, unless russia/china has some other weird thing idk about.
nah, the 10x stuff is the same speculation as EF with 14.
Flankers is also a tough situation because they might not carry 10 aa-12 at least until the su-35s…
they often carry a few aa-12s and then some aa-10s
Good chance thats true, cant find any pics of one actually running more than 6 AAM’s, and only 2/4 are meteors it seems.
Not like the AA-10’s are bad in WT… effectively the single best missile in-game for ~1.5 years now? Could argue the new IR missiles give it a run for its money due to MP, but realistically, everyone stays low because there is literally no competing with the ER in-game… Even the AIM-54 loses to it in BVR (and loses BAD)
Where did you get this?
That’s modern modern rafale, F.4 iirc can carry that many missiles…
Solid question… I don’t remember
Rafale F4 can do 4 meteor + 2 Mica or 2 Meteor + 6 Mica. No more, no less

Maybe it was F.5 then, will have to check, either way most rafales will be using 8 missiles.
that includes MICA-IR, yeah?
yup

sidenote, not all of those loadouts are possible.
the cruise missiles on the inner pylons would hit the landing gear
even in the illustration lmao
Yes I wouldn’t trust those tbh.
nvm it’s 8 with F.4, 6 before that lol - its worse than i remembered lmao
so ig thats like the hornet then where the super hornet adds that additional wing pylon
nah hornet gets dual racks for amraam which will make it a potent boat.
no i what i mean is that the rafale f4, just like the super hornet, adds another wing pylon
ahhh right yes, same thing
