Yeah it’s weird, I’m not sure if it affects the F-2000A or not as I don’t have it but it definitely affects the FGR.4.
If it does affect the F-2000A too then I think it might be having PIRATE which causes it.
Unironically true, if the aircraft has a maximum speed of mach 1.5 in supercruise he will be unable to pull back the throttle and efficiently (cruise) at supersonic speeds. He has to stay at maximum mil thrust especially with a true full air to air load.
Likewise, the “sensor fusion” is just using the terminology loosely to match competitors in that regard. The Gripen-E and the Rafale (all variants) have considerably better “sensor fusion” than the Eurofighter. If they can’t prove any actual comparable capabilities to the Rafale… why claim it is equal? So far the only definitive advantage over the Rafale (and not really one - at that) is the enhanced flight performance of a larger fighter more optimized for wave drag.
The downside to that is that it uses a TON of legacy hardware on the inside and simply isn’t optimized to reduce RCS in a modern air to air scenario. Very few hard features of the design reflect RCS reduction efforts. Slap some paint on the leading edges and call it a day will ya?

i mean the 27mm has decent pen and velocity as well as firerate. laser brimstones wouldnt be half bad either
This must be awkward for you

Again, this is Mirage 2000 levels of information “fusion”. The DASS uses legacy hardware like radar based MAWS.
watch how he’ll argue that its not “real fusion” and is just “overlaying data”

I wish the DASS would be as effectiv as written in game
Why do you think radar maws are a legacy system?

The only people that use them are Harrier and Eurofighter - both of which are scrambling to replace these systems with modern “passive” ones in upgrade programs.
The amount of sensor fusion wont really matter for the question if it has it or not. Even if it theoretically only has a tenth of the capability of sensor fusion compared to what other have it still technically has it.

You know memes are against the rules, and your position demands a more professional demeanor. You’re setting a great example for the same group that got the German Eurofighter thread closed on their own.
I wonder about this, since I assume this is a british document. The IRIS-T is pretty commonly stated to be fully capable of missile interception, with my assumption being that the DASS being able to task the IRIS-T could theoretically be used for self defense in a quasi-hardkill APS kind of way. Its possible I’m just reading into this too much, but maybe that suggests that for whatever reason, the ASRAAM does not have that capability?

Hey now, no need to start throwing accusations and personal blame around, it accomplishes nothing.
I hope to stop this before it becomes an entire ordeal…
Some times the real solution is just removing the cause not the symptoms.
The guy claiming half knowledge the whole time might be the problem

The only thing I saw wth EF was adding 2 IR (I think, they might be UV, not sure at this point) to the side of wingtip pods.
I don’t think that the fact harrier and EF use them is a indicator they are legacy. After all EF is still the one of the top dogs of current air.
