you gotta remember that the F-22’s engines are optimized for supercruise not afterburning and its intake design dosnt help either.
it did exceed its maneuverability requirements which does indicate that max power is higher because it would otherwise be worse than an F-15C in TWR.
it is possible that they werent pushing the F-22 to its absolute max, since iirc F119 thrust setting go from 100 to 150% for afterburner
could also be due to the Flight computer being really good, amazing aerodynamics or all 3 combined instead of just giga thrust
I wasn’t talking about the outer stations but moreso quad racks and potentially AMBER IF the 16 missiles capacity is to be believed
people who are asking for SiAW need to actually try to play the aargm-er dubiously implemented at best, its straight up unable to hit targets 10/15km from launch because it cant turn, not to mention the speed.

It is not that terrible for something like NE, but for ground RB it is indeed terrible, you have to launch from 25km+ for it to actually turn and hit since it lofts too much

well its a standoff weapon so it has that loft profile that’s how its programmed in game at least idk about irl. When they add new better variants of old things they tend to fix some issues. Sometimes its GNSS goes to shit

its fine in nuclear escalation sure, but thats against bots and not even very consistent, its quite slow.
