Is there sources on the Mig-35’s empty weight?

I mean, no, thats the entire modus operandi of the munition pods which are being made for the F/A-18 series and now the F-22.

If pylons alone caused enough RCS growth to cause such issues, this concept wouldn’t have even crossed the drawing room floor.

If you can’t hold the pitch key and win every dogfight, it’s russian bias

F-15EX mains: “We want this jets full IRL capabilities in game.”
Everyone else: “But muh missile count isn’t the same! This is a game and everything should be equal, just give everyone a standard jet with identical capabilities. Who cares for for the cat-n-mouse chess match. US mains always whining.”

Except it’s flight performance

The EX is the best BVR jet in-game and if it gets to a merge and needs to be maneuverable and dogfight, something went wrong. TBH there are legitimate gripes to be made about the FM. Top speed cant reach Mach-2.5, for one. I’ve only seen it hit Mach-2.43 (small difference IK but still innacurate).

“If you can’t hold the pitch key and win every dogfight, it’s not russian”

Mfw the brick with a comical amount of thrust gets more thrust and thusly improves it’s ability to go fast in a straight line, crazy that I know.

I mean balance should be prioritized, and powercreep should be minimized as possible, though. Those are valid points.

They should add counterpart of F-15EX. It’s strange to leave it out in this patch.

like ive been saying lol, suddenly 12 missiles is “enough” and we shouldnt get any plane that can carry more, i wonder if 12 is conveniently the hard cap bc no russian plane can carry more than 12 arh missiles

You see, its cuz if 15EX gets 16, su30sm2 players wont be able to intercept every 1 and send 2 more

If you hold the pitch key in russian plane you lose all your speed and die but I don’t expect you to know that

there’s always power creep in a game where it adds increasingly more competent jets…that’s the nature of battle ratings.

we cant have the mcm cancer mobile getting beaten at its own game bro

I know, but it’s a bit strange they suddenly are against high missile counts as soon as they aren’t the top dog in that aspect.

And it you hold the pitch key in the EX you either g lock while traveling only about 30 degrees, spend the next 15 to 20 seconds meticulously maintain your AOA to turn around without bleeding speed or realize your brick with a lot of thrust cant turn below 300 knots while the funny flanker has already 180ed and has a new 60G R-73 headed your way.

Or you can just grab a F-16 and realize the F-15 is not a rate fighter at all.
