This is unbelievable on gaijin’s behalf, why should we have to ‘earn’ the right to a competitive amount of fox-3s while russian aircraft are allowed dual pylons from the Su-35, allowing them to carry double the amount of current typhoon while remaining as feasible irl as MRPL pylon AMRAAMs.
Hopefully we get them at some point soon, since the only time I reckon we could see 8 fox-3s on a Eurofighter is when we have an F-15ex with 20
(Not a jab at gunjob, just a little rant about the balancing devs)
Don’t forget that MICA has a guidance delay of only 0.15 seconds before it starts turning whereas most other missiles are between 0.35 seconds and 0.5 seconds, the sooner you can start pulling, the tighter the turn radius. I will be interested in seeing the guidance delay of the ASRAAM once it comes into the game as that can determine its turning radius as well.
If they give it AIM-9M’s guidance delay, that would be 0.4 seconds.
Well. This part is actually very funny.
Gaijin say that if they can’t find the data, they take the data from the direct predecessor. Like in the case of Blue Vixen → Captor.
And the direct predecessor is SRAAM. With a control activation delay time of 0 seconds.
double pylon aim-120.
but for su-30sm their added double pylon, although there are no photos with them on the su-30cm (not the su-35s).
Gaijin double standart
Just showcasing some proposed modifications and it was probably just an animation mistake as well, as its not even one of the listed modifications, those being:
SPEAR-3
CAPTOR-E
DASS upgrades
Striker II HMD
New Cockpit avionics
New CPUs / networking
Datalink improvements for Drone intergration
I cant comment on the Su-30, probably suspect, but would be easier proving the Su-30 couldnt have that loadout rather than the Typhoon could. Besides. Its not a hill worth dying on at the moment, given we are still waiting on CAPTOR-M even being modeled
