MICA EM is getting a rather massive buff, but other than that, no changes for either aircraft currently as far as I am aware
Hm being faster able to carry more amraam (8) and better radar
the only thing EFT better than F-15E dogfights
Seem to me it clearly better plane (gonna be even more better with C-5 if it just left EFT with 120B)
What MICA buff
do you know what a crank is
if you got a radar lock, it will shoot via datalink even if its off the boresite
you can launch outside gimbal limits, like I do here in the Su-30

Probably give it to the 120C and AAM 4 maybe the PL-12 (PL-12 needs a buff) leaving the 120 A and B in the cold.
… Why would they give it to those missiles? From what I remember aim-120c still has 60 degree lemit, not sure about pl-12 and aam4. Why should they get no gimbal limits?
I’ve been able to utilize this in a match with the Su-30, pretty neat, especially since given the FM of the Su-30 you always wanna start cranking a bit earlier than usual (to effectively turn cold or notch in closer ranges).
Got some nice kills out of missiles lauched almost while notching.
its not the gimble limit though it’s data link. The Radar is saying the target is there and the missiles are pulling sufficient G to hit the target. AAM 4 pulls more G than a 120B and PL-12 should be an Aim120C equivalent.
Which is something Typhoon can’t do, it can’t sit in the notch and send missiles :(
Big fan of the unbelievably bad pixelated numbers
The Su-30 can’t sit in a notch either, but you have a small window of launch opportunity while turning cold, then radar loses the target and no more launch.
Don’t worry you’re not alone
Gripen can’t too yay we stuck with Garbage jet thank to gaijin

You are pretty much in the notch like the Rafale the missile and Radar are far more capable.
So while you may leave the notch to fire a missile you leave it by a small amount compared to an AMRAAM.
The R-Darter ones can…Just a shame those missiles have a 5km range ha ha
Still cant believe they didnt add a Gripen NG…Yes the cockpit would have taken time to change but for gameplay purposes more power, more hardpoints and a better Radar would have been a massive boon
