Lol, what do you mean by “another” and “still”? This will be the first patch after 15E was added
These are not complicated words, I’m sure a smart man like you can understand that the coming update is not the current update therefore is another update.
Just remember the US got Aim-9M equipped F-16s 3 months before we got the Gripen.
It should come to both, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will
In BVR combat, typhoon and F-15E will be equally matched in terms of ability to sling AMRAAMs at each other. The typhoon will hold the advantage in radar performance (until if/when F15 gets AESA) and in ability to turn to notch/evade. F-15 will hold the advtange in missile count.
In WVR, the Typhoon will outperform the F-15 notably.
If Gaijin so truly butchers the Typhoon FM to the point where an F-15E is constantly out dogfighting it, then something is deeply and fundamentally broken with the Typhoons FM. They might be able to ignore Britain’s pleas with the tornado F3 but German mains won’t let it stand. Look at how they got the ice to 13.0
This is what I like to call “Gaijin balancing”
If you complain enough about it, they’ll eventually make a compromise.
Like what happened with F-15E engines.
You’re kidding right? Germany hasn’t been good in top tier air for a long time now. Not going to start now.
Wasn’t that the standard 29 Squadron livery?
I was unaware of this. Could you show me where they are in the code?
Oil mass is in the FM file for each aircraft:
Aircrew mass is defined as constant value (90 kg IIRC) and is added to each aircraft using the formula:
Aircrew mass * number of crew
The mass of each bullet is defined in the weapon file. Then it is added to the aircraft using the formula:
Bullet mass * current number of bullets
The mass of an aircraft actually decreases in game as you fire your ammo.
“hasFuelDumping” ?
That is an interesting line of code
In that case the mass of oils is likely incorrect. 30kg of hydraulic fluid and oil is not sufficient for a fighter aircraft like the Typhoon. Regardless, the empty mass is too high then.
It probably is a bit low. But it seems to be about 30 kg on most jets in game.
If that is the case I would not put it past them to simplify new additions by adding the corrected weights to the “empty weight”. Then they just adjust damaged engines with burning oil or overheating based on how long it takes to burn 30kg of oil.
IT’S TIME TO TURN THE F-111 INTO A BACKWARDS DRAGON
In RB the ability to DL 8 AIM120s is what makes the F-15E so good.
Typhoon will be as fast, climbs as well maybe the Radar will be as good? But you are still going to have to dodge and evade the AMRAAM wall if you want to play BVR with the F-15 and other Typhoons.
WVR is where the Typhoon should shine if you pilot isn’t constantly G-Locked …
Typhoon and F-15E climb equally well (Typhoon might even slightly outclimb the F-15E) and can at a minimum sling off 6x AMRAAM and DL them all. With a radar that is at worst, equal to it.
F-15E is gunna have to be just as careful in the early game AMRAAM Spam
Only if the aggrieved nation has met the necessary Gaijin social credit points, buying premiums. Only then are your complaints acknowledged
They will likely end up with more trades. It will be nice to have an AMRAAM slinger that isn’t a bus.
And not have to use the R Darter…
I do, okay in the FA2 and F3 Late, but man, the Typhoon is on a whole other level. Also really looking forward to the multirole payload you can run in gamemodes like Sim. 7x Paveway IVs wont have much of an impact on your FM and worse comes to worse, I just jettison them.
I would still wait for the final tuning of the Typhoon before drawing conclusions. As far as I remember, the first iteration of the dev FM of the Typhoon was just a dummy, whose thrust dropped significantly between the beginning of the dev and its end.
Yeah, but still. We have docs that state 36k ft and mach 1.6 in 2.5 minutes with full combat load.
I have no idea if there is an equivalent figure available for the F-15E, but that is still pretty insane.
