It would mean a restructuring of rewards for the mode and a server improvement to handle larger lobbies and maps, but something needs to improve because air rb is getting stale for missile combat

Thats not how gaijin balances their game, you might just have to bite the bullet and accept that you won’t have the peak of the meta for a patch or two
if they degimped the C itd be much fairer though EFT is still gonna be very good
They are already comparable, plus I dont doubt gaijin will cripple the typhoon like they have the gripen, the F-15E/C are already 14.0 material, typhoon or not
ok so ppl are talking about how it can pull 9g until its fuel runs out, can carry same amount of ARH, and can supercruise, has a better mechanical radar, but also say its comparable to the C and E ingame
at the very least let us have the realistic radar advantage over early typhoons
Su-57 has that capability with side arrays
Because it will serve the same role in the game, and a majority will play it exactly the same as the E, in which an early typhoon is practially identical, given it has 4 AMRAAMs and 4-6x IR missiles but on addition likely aim-9Ms
so now expected playstyle is the defining factor for whether an aircraft is equal or not? and i know its able to carry more than 4 amraams you are severly downplaying its capacity for ARH. once they come in close the typhoon has every advantage
It can carry 6 AMRAAM its actual flight performance aswell eclipses the F15-E in terms of manoeuvres and acceleration only place it don’t is top speed. Doesnt matter if it can play the same it will do it far better not to mention its also having better countermeasures suite and IRST
not realy, you can see that on 3 different aeasa radars being developed
We haven’t proven that to the devs yet
Hasnt prevented additions in the past
Yes, because it’s a 4.5 gen and the F-15s are 4th gen, and thus there is a fairly obvious disparity in their capabilities, however it won’t be able to outperform the F-15s in BVR until the addition of the Meteor because they will both share similar fox-3 firing envelopes, so in the meta they will function the same as long as the best missile in game is the AIM-120
6 is possible, its just not proven that it can carry AMRAAM on the inner wing pylon, but AMRAAM/Meteor can be carried on the 2nd outer pylon, but then you’d sacrifice a TMC pylon, which if you have ASRAAM possibly is not worth it.
You can see the position for the 5th and 6th BVRAAM here.

Alright that clears things up then, the weaponry loading charts are very inconsistent

Ah, to be fair, not that important given current wt meta in RB and mainly in Sim is BVR. I dont even carry 9Ms on eagle anymore.
Something they have proven reluctant to add for AMRAAM carriers
I just wish they would reduce multipath of top tier ARHs to 40m, ground hugging is still too rewarding / common. (Something that caused an increase of airfield camping lately from my experience.)
