You’re misunderstanding, I’m not saying SPAA should have a 100% chance to kill CAS, I’m saying CAS shouldnt be allowed to outrange SPAA. That way it requires skill on both sides to kill the other. With standoff weapons CAS can just outrange the SPAA and there’s literally nothing the SPAA can do about it.
CAS aircrafts being able to outrange SPAA in-game is a relatively recent phenomena, they never needed standoff weapons before and they should not have them now, particularly not F&F standoff weapons.
I never saw any suggestion that Dassault bribed “the hell out of it” as you say but I have seen the Austrian dissertation that they were bribed to take the Eurofighter and now they regret the decision to acquire them.
just wanna point out even this summary you use to slander typhoon shows that it supercruises at M1.4 lmfao
Now, whats your definition of sensor fusion?
"Oooooh…well - my PERSONAL definition of flight is that it must be blue, with pink spots and literally flap it’s wings like a bird. Which also flies. But doesn’t count.
The very name “supercruise” implies the aircraft is cruising at supersonic speeds. This is not the case for Eurofighter which must be using maximum mil thrust to surpass the wave drag boundary that nominally covers up to 1.3 mach or so for optimized airframes such as missiles.
The F-22 by comparison can fly up to mach 1.82 on maximum dry thrust but pulls the throttle way back to cruise at a lower 1.5 mach.
It really depends which CAS however. Because some are more capable in this regard than others. Theres a reason why russian CAS in form of Su34 and Su25SM3 are so oppressive and on one hand its ofc the fact like you said that they are able to shoot outside of the range of majority of non-russian 12km range SPAA (the only one thats got 15km range is now the HQ17 but thats a completely different bag of pain i dont want to talk about) BUT also the fact that the missiles are so much quicker (Mach 2.2) with IOG.
Mavericks while capable of being shot out at ranges that outdo SPAAs are extremely slow after few kilometers and lack IOG meaning they self destruct once they lose tracking due to smokes for example.
Brimstones are in the same boat except they arent even FnF, at most can be pre-fired using IOG but thats hardly accurate and still needs a constant laser designation lock at the end.
As for hammers, ive not used them, so im not gonna say anything about their performance from experience, but atleast from some videos they arent exactly very fast, whats saving them is the platforms they are deployed on.
dude i dont like being passive aggresive so im gonna go straight foward, there is an obvious reason of marketing lie but no reason for the eurofighter typhoon marketing lie specially considering that countries have actively used and tested the plane and confirmed that the info is not fake unlike GDLS and the abrams marketing lie
idk what are you even trying to get by saying everything they say about the EF2000 its a marketing lie even tho it has been actively tested, they got you sources and they got you data yet you cant accept it, why is that so?
Strela as well been caught out with a Strela while guiding a Brimstone…Unflarable of course as they have insane IRCCM (not sure how real)
The issue arises when you need missiles as your offensive payload the cost is barely less I think 725ish for a Typhoon with A2A and 780 for a Typhoon with A2A and A2G
