Yep, but I dislike the accusation that (and it always feels like Britain gets blamed all the time for this) we intentionally dont report anything that is overperforming.
Plenty of times we’ve seen nerfs go through, and really painful ones at times.
Britain, Sweden, France to an extent, all get accused of this. Because apparently “Make better kit” doesn’t apply when said better kit gets added.

I mean, hiding sources really feeds those accusations. Particularly when ppl borderline parade having the sources, or reveal they have the sources others have been looking for a long time, but will not share them, or even give numbers from them.
It is entirely justified to assume foul play when someone is hiding something from you imo.
Expected based on the scaled thrust to weight ratios is 21,800 and in-game it is 28,206 or a 29.4% increase over what was expected. This was the same issue with the Gripen @Giovanex05 Gaijin over-doing it on afterburner thrust for the delta canards. They did it for F-15E too. I wonder what the issue is.
Then, of course we know it must be underperforming on dry thrust because it cannot supercruise.
Pretty much most completely new aircraft are getting into the dev server with too much thrust right now. I’d wait for later dev server versions, FM is obviously not finished
Should be usable, but I feel like we should be allowed our 604+ fit
Yeah, would be a really solid loadout. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s balancing reasons we don’t have it
Something also not mentioned yet… Thank GOD we have some unguided bombs. Gunna make stock grind WAY easier. F3 sucked because of the lack of that (and you dont need to ditch any A2A either, which is amazing for SIm as well)

Im hoping i can get GBU-31V1’s added to the EFT’s since the Kuwaiti ones use them, the EFT is sopmewhat lackluster multirole-wise for sim, the GBU-31V1’s would allow it some very limited form of long range base strike by using 2x GBU-31V1 and 2x GBU-48 with GPS guidance from high alt.
I’ve pinged Gunjob to see if thats enough to make it a suggestion.
And that’s exactly why sources are hidden only to the bug reporter and employees. Out here, there’s no reason to.
Don’t think it’s limited to Typhoon… had this radar buggering itself thing on the Foxhunter and AWG-10 (Nado F.3 and FG.1)
Agreed, but I can certainly see why people are already screeching murder, it looks so good it’s almost ridiculous.
I’d like Flame’s thoughts on this though, before committing pen to paper on whether or not it’s actually overperforming
heck, I can’t see any reason other than balance to not have a 606+ fit. God I want that.
Storm Shadow when :P
Im just looking forward to the 8x GPS guided bombs for some light CAS without having to give up anything. Gripen Id have to ditch 33% of my A2A missiles to achieve the same. But even just the ability to drop some dumb bombs on a base is a huge bonus as some games you just fly around looking for something to do (had more than 1 sorite in the F3 where I had to RTB before using a single missile)
Its hard to tell whats wrong and what looks insane because we are use to teh Tornado
I think you misunderstood me on that point, I “get” its their argument, I still think its a stupid argument. Its literally just a powerplay. If you actually intend for the bug report to be reflected in-game, it should not matter if other get to see your source or not. Deny them the ability to do so is pro-gaijin (helps them with information control and narrative forming) and is only done to satisfy a need for control on the part of the player. Its silly and childish.
Storm shadow would be nice.
Be a nice additions to the AASMs on the Rafale.
I can see 12x Missiles being too storng, but a real shame about the 4-6 fit
the 8x GPS bombs is gonna be nice for REDFOR in sim, its wholly unecessary for BLUFOR tho, you shouldnt be bothering with battlefield strikes if you have an F-15E worth half his salt in sim, since they can clear a battlefield alone in one run. You should instead be protecting them as they have limited air to air and awareness while doing their strike.
Oh man, we just kicked off big time over Grom 1, the inferno kicked off by adding that would be hideous
Pretty much it lmaoooo
In which case my apologies. I must admit I support the bit on bug reports and hiding sources on the basis that some of that may be paid material, but equally I think that provided the bug reporter has dealt with it sensibly, it shouldn’t matter. It also allows for outsiders to scrutinise bug reports fairly.
Agreed.
Dunno. While noting the need for balance, if we’re gonna go “unbalanced”, we may as well go full tilt and kick it up to 14.0/14.3, and give the Eagle a proper run for its money.
Yeah. thats true, but just running it passively will be nice and shoudlnt compromise our A2A performance too much. But also the 12x Brimstones (especially if upgraded to the correct 2s and given prox fuse) could make a decent addition to our A2A loadout ;P
Way too much range on the maps we currently have, wholly unecessary. Id love GBU-50’s (2x 2000lbs + 2x 1000lbs will kill a base) but I cant find anything about the EFT with GBU-50’s, so the next GPS guided bomb in the 2000lbs class I know it CAN run is the GBU-31V1.
This limits how far it can strike a base (GBU-48’s glide much better than GBU-31V1) but its still much better than going to dumb bomb the base, which is the only way an EFT can currently kill a base without giving up AAM’s (10x Paveway IV’s will kill a base, but requires the loss of 2 AMRAAM’s)
