The typhoon still is the absolute king of top tier air even with a gimped radar, only how nuts MICA is keeps it at bay, once the radar is fixed (and maybe meteor and ASRAAM one day) nothings keeping up in game, even F22s are going to have a struggle as soon as it gets spotted.
We will have to see how this year goes as gaijin cant add much more bleeding edge stuff before modern FnF stuff is added, the books will get balanced
only if we get storm shadows, and top tier air spawns are comically far away from the ground battle
JASSM is part of why I like F-15E. It can carry 5 of them with amraams to boot
They can at least make Brimstone FnF by IR i know they don’t have it irl neither Brimstone SAL but it didn’t stop gaijin.
Maybe AGM-158A JASSM with an upgraded strike eagle (worse range than storm shadow and Taurus, but likely better stealth and IIR terminal guidance) and AGM-158B JASSM-ER with F-35/F-15EX?
would be really cool, but would make top tier ground really really bad
Either limit to air sim, or add it with stuff like S-400 and Patriot
I do think Air battle only loadouts need to become a thing as its going to become really bad really quick with what little modern equipment is left for gaijin to use
Imagine JASSM-XR for if they add the B-52H (They probably won’t but, it’s always a possibility.) Spawn, fire JASSM-XRs, land, repeat.
Ok so because were ahead of Russia irl shouldn’t mean we get destroyed because they have a 2024 aircraft dropping missles on us lol
Any CAS destroys tanks easily.
Tbh I could see it getting put on F-15E and EX, in fact that’s probably what they will do on top of B-52
Btw, it should be the new B-52J instead of an H
Maybe the GER / ITA Typhoons, but when the meta in ARB is missile use the UK Typhoon not been able to rely on its missiles when TWS isn’t working and your radar is switching to TRACK IR. I can’t even count how many times I’ve had 100% advantage over an opponent only to loose it and die because my radar is now in TRACK IR and I can’t switch it.
F22 isn’t a knife fighting aircraft, it will be so heavily reliant on missiles and maybe ( we will see what they come up with ) stealth ability, where as the Typhoon was built to be quick, unstable to improve its mobility and a fast climber.
Yeah, it gets real bad once they enter cruise missile territory, not even the best SPAA can outrange it, but they may be able to shoot them down
this isnt an issue that can be fixed by adding storm shadows.
F-22 is one hell of a climber too
Mach 1.7+ supercruise is pretty quick as well
It has radar, RWR, ECM on the typhoon
150 rounds isn’t much but it’s something. I think they can reduce fire rate on Vulcan too to stretch the ammo but idk for sure
Typhoon out climbs it. Typhoon has a higher thrust-to-weight ratio and is just a beast in a knife fight.
It might be too long for the EX, but it could be possiable.
I fell behind with the B-52 upgrades.
Yea a lot of America mains are going to have a shock when its not an unbeatable aircraft. One lost to a mock dogfight with a rafale, and the typhoon has a slight edge on them. its gonna be messy on the forum after that
