It is basic facts, the same way the CAPTOR-E should be LPIR, PESA radars are terrible against ECM IRL and having a networked LINK-16 system is much better than a single aircraft with outstanding parameters.
we would need Nuclear Thunder sized maps at the very least
which was 256km x 256km
Hopefully that is removed with the new aerial warfare mode that they were talking about. It is literally one of the reasons i hate playing air rb and would rather play ground rb to do CAP role
Ohk, my bad then

Yeah, they need an overhaul to make ground attackers more worthwhile. But I would personally consider the F35 the next gen of Tornado IDS and not Typhoon/F16/etc. so how good it will be will largely be dependent on said PvE
That would be a dream, I really hope we get maps that are that large
we would need those maps in the regular gamemodes as well bc from what it seems the aerial warfare mode might just be another non permanent mode
also air sim could take some new maps, the last map that was added is Rocky Canyon and that was like 3 years ago
J-20? Su-57?
Su-57 will be OP because Gaijin. Not because of IRL performance.
I don’t know much about the J20
Yeah, forgot those in the heat of the moment with the J-35 ^^
i think that the J-35 might be better for WT than the J-20
one of the biggest issues i have with the J-20 (for WT) is that it dosent have a gun

yes it will be (overall not A2A wise most likely )
I don’t know how much of the capabilities are fiction but the 360 degree radar coverage is something unseen.
Shenyang J-50 as a chinese successor of the Su-34? :D
i personally cant wait for a bunch of stupid J-36 skins that make it litterally look like a dorito
its more like 270°
the rear radar is not for detecting stuff
it has 360° IRST coverage through the LDIRCM turrets tho
I think it has a PD-MAW which has multi-use as an all around radar → sensor fusion. Something which is also suspected about the EF MAW but not confirmed.
it has IR+UV MAW
the LDIRCM turrets and a bunch of other apatures are for it
there is a rear facing radar in the tail that might be part of the MAW as well but who knows
Praetorian DASS will stay like it is unless they actually publish some new and workable info
Yeah, in terms of offensive A2A at least yeah. (Technically the EFT already has that, but only really for MAWS)
but I’m on the fence how useful that actually will be for say ARB. Good in ASB though. But I would also be worried it would be a bit of sensor overload for the player and actually be more of a distraction than an asset.
But being totally immune to IR missiles is going to be really op
So it gets its radar coverage from the main and smaller side-looking radars behind the main radar. The side-looking ones are slanted down, so the up view is limited in side coverage.
