Why?
Typhoon with an AESA still won’t be better than su-35/f-15ex just due to missile kit

What does f-22 have to do with aesa typhoon, a better equivalent would be f-15ex
He is implying an AESA Typhoon would be a step to high, so it means the game would be closer to 5th gens being a decent idea. (Decent, not great.)
US 4.5 gens exist
I think a proper comparison (and the way it will happen in the game) would be a separate higher BR Typhoon with AESA and better missiles vs later Rafale with better missiles
Su-35, J-16 and F-15EX would also be in the same league

who is “he”?
you sent the message
“,” are things in English that split ideas in the same sentence.
Yeah, no not really. If CAPTOR-M cannot be properly added, then CAPTOR-E just brings the Typhoon inline with the Rafale and Su-30SM we already have.
Let alone suspected additions like the F-2 for Japan this major and we have no idea if a AESA equipped fighter for the US, Sweden or China is planned for this major.
The Typhoon, which is already struggling in temrs of radar modeling, could be about to be left completely behind for no other reason than Gaijin hating the Typhoon
On that I agree, having a newer and more reliable missile kit for the jets you mentioned would definitely make for a better comparison, guess only time will tell when we see those added.
But if I’m not mistaken not as much (kinematic) range as IR MICA, let alone IR MICA NG
Plus, as good as ASRAAM’s maneuverability might be, I doubt it will beat MICA (et al.)'s thrust vectoring at close ranges …
Not far off and ASRAAM maintain better time to target iirc
We can assume that wont be added for a while and by the time it is, we should have better AMRAAMs as well
Ultra close range, no. ASRAAMs biggest strength being its speed of its rails does limit its ultra close range performance, but if you are playing a Typhoon with ASRAAM in ultra close range WVR combat, then you are playing it wrong. IRIS-T equipped Typhoons though will outperform MICA IR in WVR combat by quite a bit and as we have seen with teh Typhoons A2G payload, we have no idea if ASRAAM and IRIS-T will be nation specific or if everyone will be able to take a mix
normaly you dont refeer to yourself in 2nd or 3rd person in the english language
i dont think its that deep gonna be honest
Looks at all the buffs the Rafale and Su-30 has gotten
Looks at the last bug report fixed for the Typhoon 4 months ago
F-15EX will depend on how many missiles and what kind of missiles it will get
But AFAIK the radar antenna is fixed which is somewhat of a disadvantage
And the US variant apparently does not have MAW (no money I suppose)
Flight model same or worse than F-15E
Su-35 has a really good radar (±120 deg limit in azimuth), but it can carry a limited amount of very long range missiles (R-37M)
It has MAW, but flight model is gonna be “not great” …
An “F-22 (Early)” around the same BR as AESA Typhoon is plausible …

if you think gaijin has some grand conspiracy to artificially nerf the ef/britian in general/anything else really i can guarantee you that its actually just laziness.
To be fair, I do find it weird when they removed most of the lighting in the cockpit after the dev server has ended, and not being “bothered” to add the HUD tint yet. Yes these are minor things but I don’t see why it shouldn’t be fixed considering they’re accepted I’m pretty sure

If Gaijin was lazy, all 8 Tornados would have the exact same engine. They dont. Britain and Britain alone has a much much weaker engine in the Tornado Gr1 and the reason given is actually total nonsense
Even just things like the HUD tint, lots of aircraft got that fixed super quickly
