Still Nosferatu is the best waifu and without her there is not Ace Combat :D
Yeah, so it was really sad that they hid it behind a paid DLC in Ace Combat 7…
Could be, though could also be IIR. Depending on how they model stealth, they could be more useful
Also interesting to see that F-35 counts for countries with them in active service, could leave out someone.
Who wouldnt get it?
Germany?
I think so, unless I missed them actually getting at least one.
France has benelux, at least one of the three nations have them right?
Yeah, I could have sworn I saw a luftwaffe F-35 last year (2024) at RIAT, but I must have been mistaken.
And yeah, they can get Belgium or Dutch F-35s
Don’t think France will count as they themselves do not have it
Its subtree does
But Belgium and Netherlands do. And they are Sub-TTs
Now that I think about it if the Swiss manage to get their hands on one before the Germans, the tree could still get one I guess.
Yeah, that would have to be their only hope
Would be nice if we could get a proper implementation of PIRATE and use that to counter stealth.
Stealth is probably useless for radar up to 30km or something like that so it won’t make too much of a Difference in grb
Stealth spotted by AIR RB marker xD

Look forward to meteor though. Would perform like a fakour 90 with aim120c manueverability and mica seeker?
Valid, especially since most people will either fly with their payload exposed or taking extra unstealthed munitions 99% of the time.
But eurofirst are pretty bullish about pirate’s capabilities even out to the ranges of most BVR matchups we get in air rb and sim. It was also quite fun early on with the f14/ harrier gr7 Flir camera being able to see players out to 50km+ before they changed the rendering to stop that.
Which is basically what PIRATE does iirc but is capable of being more than just a fun “heh” system.
I have no idea about the maneuverability, but I hope it’s better than amraams at least, seeker should at least be the MICA one as a starting point yeah.
I think I have an idea how Gaijin will model the manueverability. They will see that the missile only has aft control surfaces, and then conclude that it means less manueverability.
