you need to realize 60G’s is for the optimal launch: fast and high aspect. If you’re in a df & subsonic the R-73 doesn’t have enough PE to reach 60 G’s. Anyway go to the R-73 thread. Vympel R-73 'ARCHER' - History, Design, Performance & Discussion
hey can we report f15ex being unable to reach Mach 2.5 in clean condition as advertised on Boeing website? it only max out at 2.45 meaning either has bit drag then it should or thrust is bit weaker than it should?
F-15EX ops i use wrong link now its the right one official one
or mach 2.5 is its speed limit in general and not its top speed in a straight line

Since mrml racks report got fixed, does it carry 16 missiles like 12 AIM120 and 4 9M, or is it hard cap of 12 missiles

most likely 12 120s and 4 9ms
“Rafale fanboy”.
Their F-15EX report is sus though.
As is using WT wiki conjecture about in-game vehicles.
Can you link it please.
F-22’s wing root radar for the front 200 degree aspect along with the F-35’s sensor fusion suite providing target data in a 360 degree FOV.
No manufacturer posts a NES as the listed top speed of a aircraft, such is also commonly a ways higher than the actual attainable speed in a straight line, so it somehow only being .05 mach makes no sense.
F-22 doesn’t have an offensive radar in it’s wing roots, you’re getting confused with whatever system it uses for RWR

Such is the upgrade package along with twinned IRST pods on the wings being trialed right now.
Also another example of why wing mounted ord does not effect RCS if built properly since those pods are to be a common use system.

Please give a source for this claim

My mistake its not wing root, its side paneled.
There was prior also a internal IRST system touted, however the podded version seems to be more prevalent now.
System growth means it’s projected as a capability for future upgrade packages
I don’t that this one ever came to existence
Block 30 is a thing IRL, this is just a very old source
no the thing
Boeing subsequently clarified to The War Zone that the actual demonstrated top speed was Mach 2.497 which is Mach 2.5 Boeing test pilot Matt Giese specifically credited the engine and air induction system for reaching this speed so maybe its missing bit thrust at high altitude ?
As quartas stated, the block 30 already exists.
We also don’t largely still know the exact content of the interior of the F-22, as already brought up above a internal IRST was supposedly trialed at some point after it was shelved in the initial production blocks and there has been musings about such existing now. However, since we can’t peel away the skin there is no way to be sure of such beyond some new very small nicks on the airframe.
Funny that, one of the most secret aircraft in existence has only shards known about it’s sensor systems.
why is nobody talking about how much better 120s are pulling on the dev?
also r73s are insanely good too, they feel at least 2x better than before
Come on, I’ve never heard side arrays mentioned for the F-22 ever aside from the proposals before block 30

As with the internal IRST, the coms terminal, and any of the APG-77 changes beyond the original V1 changes, even though all of the above have had little bits here and there about their existence after the fact.
Did realize though as well, this thread is not really about the EX anymore now is it, beyond the recent mach post.
