I feel like most people are underestimating the asraam… that things aoa launch limits are only slightly worse than that of the r-73 (45 vs 50 aoa)… And it will likely pull just as hard or harder as a magic 2 which we all know is insane for close off bore shots even without tvc.
I don’t really think people are underestimating it, it’s just a tad more reliant on how Gaijin implements the seeker. If it’s good the longer range shots will be nasty and the close range performance will be great. But in the furball meta the IRIS Ts maneuverability will always be great even if gaijin screws up the seeker
It’s entirely possible we could get both at the same time, but…
-
that’s a bit of a balancing nightmare imo
-
not having both creates some asymmetry meaning typhoon Vs typhoon fights could be interesting
-
it gives a reason to grind more than 1 TT
I mean they just made every typhoon practically the same now
Play style preference imo.
ASRAAM is a lot better if you prefer more defensive gameplay. BVR, etc etc
IRIS-T if you prefer closing the distance and dogfighting / gunfighting
Which sucks imo
wonder how the gripen E will perform compared with the FGR 4 Late
Probably not that great since it’s a downgrade in every category I think
AESA version’s camo has a tail flash marking that is shorter on the port side than it is on the starboard side

Unplayable now I’ve noticed this 😄
Quietly waits for a Darth skin with Squadron Leader Gunjob markings, I’ll let you decide which would be best on the new AESA.
Spoiler
Please oh great Da12thMonkey of the lake share your skinning skills.
they should add the Halloween skin that airfix posted
@Gunjob @Flame2512 didnt the mk 2 radar need a new eurofighter cone, cause its bigger?
If so isnt the model currently faulty?
Qute sure it needed new nose cone in order to allow for EW usage, not because of the size.
There was some website explaining it, but i cant find it.
Quitly waits for any skin for the new EFs which have all the markings which snail doesnt want to model for the Base skin because reason xy
The model is faulty anyways, it looks nothing like ECRS lol

METEOR with canards?
Its an IRIS-T (but I think with a protective nose cone?)
It’s also not conventionally known for its intakes.
