For me the worst is when you have a soft lock with TWS and the locks starts drifting, then you reset it and sometimes the target you had literally on screen 2 seconds before disappears.
I use the extra narrow scan box all the time, and it does have the issue I just expained, I don’t even bother with the wider ones, I just know they are like a multiplier for that issue.
Yeah, this is kinda what I mean. You have to spend more time just fighting with the radar to maintain the lock than you do actually setting up a shot.
I think its time for CAPTOR-M buggy report #4
but all the issues would probably go away with P-Track
It is a point that doesn’t need to be said or acknowledged, because there isn’t any frenchie/Rafale players here arguing against EFT AESA while simultaneously arguing for keeping 8x MICAs and HMD.
I’d much rather see the Captor E and the various outstanding flight performance reports implemented for the Typhoon, instead of nerfing the Rafale (a plane that I very much like)
Plus it’s funnier to establish total eurocanard supremacy over every other airframe in the game. Watching F-15E players stare at me in disbelief as I outrun them with ease is just an unbeatable experience.
Everyone else can get whatever they’d like but the good old delta/canard will never fail to pull absurd performance out of nowhere.
For this to be a fair comparison shouldn’t they both carry the same amount of fuel? Just saying
I too personally prefer this option where we buff other aircraft up to the level of Rafale and EFT first or add equivalents and then tune those aircraft heavily in the process.
I will say, the whole HMD thing is more so reflective of the state of MICA as the best ARH in the game and should have been expected given its just under a decade after the 120A/B (whilst underperforming).
Removal of the HMD is to temper the effectiveness of the MICA because then you’d have more limited possibilities for HOB’s shots particularly close in where one jet has to recommit much harder than the other. Unfortunately for the EFT our close in HOBS is provided through the same ridiculous IR missiles that we all acknowledge would ruin the game (particularly the long range ones).
All of that to say I think people are detracting from what is probably more relevant in that AIM-120C-5 needs a HOBS buff as MICA’s direct year-by-year equivalent. But this still won’t fix the issue, but again that’s neither the fault of French reporters and simply a fact of the games setup.
Thing is the way the game is organised the MICA is just objectively at an advantage. With every engagement starting so close I can map out the entire enemy force 2 seconds in, and with ECCM being literally nonexistent (making missiles hilariously easy to dodge) there is little utility for a long range launch and little opportunity to properly set up for one. While the MICA benefits from being an agile HOBS missile with incredibly strong delta v, so closing the distance is viable, the AMRAAM struggles heavily in the same conditions (particularly the C).
Bigger maps would improve balance, shockingly enough, but we would also need missiles to not be so absurdly easy to evade considering you can currently 1 chaff anything.
It not even one chaffing missiles that’s the main issue. It’s multipath. At least with chaffing you can force a rafale to go somewhat defensive (even with the absurd HOBS of current MICA + DL limits), but with multipath this help create fur alls and other close range quarters
Multipath is the worst offender but even in high altitude exclusive fights it is very easy to close the distance if you want to by literally just 1 chaffing everything and then once you’re within about 10km accelerating to mach fuck to get into knife fight conditions.
They already have AESA
Allergic to making a good fighter.
frankenstein eurofighter vs frankenstein rafale good enough to me.
…so does that mean german eurofighter gets the tvc engines
AMK + TVC would be the most insane combo ever
Sorta, the JAPG-2 is a copy paste of the russian V004 PESA from the Su-34 in terms of scan rates and scan zones. Its more of a PESA in-game
Fair, every ESA has varying degrees of inaccuracy though. Also, I think you replied to the wrong thing
Yes I did
Would probably win f22 dogfight
Typhoon already can do that just about. AMK Typhoon probably would beat a F-22. So TVC+AMK Typhoon… The F-22 wouldnt stand a chance
just lmao.
I think you’re very heavily underestimating the f-22, theres plenty of public information that points towards the f22 being infinitely better in every way. at least air to air wise, gl contending with it considering it carries more missiles than the euro, while having better fm in terms of AOA (-40 to +60 degrees, I think it can be even more but im forgetting). numbers amk eurofighter will never dream of having. also having the strongest engines other than the al51 on the su57m/75 and ws15 on j20.(plus thrust vectoring)
only things euro has on it are ir missiles and cms
