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
Kh-38MT’s are already outranging every SPAA in game and its common now to see a SU-34 getting 4 kills not long after spawning and returning to base unoposed ( unless the very rare occation of mixed teams and they fall victum to Pansir-S1 )
Iirc, it can either climb or accelerate as quick as an F-15C without using afterburners
Itll gap a eurofighter or Rafale anyways. 35,000lb is a conservative estimate, could even be installed thrust
Oh its gonna be hell in the forums since most matches aren’t BVR fights that the F22 would favour. 90% if not higher are flying tree top hight until contact is made and missiles are launched within 10-15 miles.

Itll be a hard opponent in a dogfight, but tbh it’s the players fault for allowing them to get that close
Typhoon has a higher thrust-to-weight ratio. You have to remember how light the Typhoon’s are compaired to the F22
Wiki says 1.15 for EFT in interceptor config, 1.26 for F-22 50% fuel and loaded weight
Empty weight twr is 1.66 for EFT, 1.61 fr F-22
Wiki isn’t a good source sorry
Fair enough, but flight specifics for F-22 are still classified while EFT is advertised
Yeah they arent going to handle anyone flying above the shrubs as mach jesus. they wont even realise they are in a onc circle fight until its too late.
if they havent learned from the F14 meta they wont stand a chance
With TVC, could win a one circle with a good burst. If they fail it’s over though
Taken from BAE.
Powered by two Eurojet EJ200 engines, providing an excellent combat
thrust-to-weight ratio in excess of 1.2:1 with 30% thrust growth
available
catching them off guard, no hope. losing energy against delta wings, just J out
Couldn’t find a TWR on Lockheed page on it, but it did say you could perform maintenance on the F119 engines with just six commercially available tools
Actually USAF page states weight as 43340lb and each engine 35k lbf (though that’s very likely less than the actual output) so the 1.61 TWR applies to it
Also turns out the M61A2 has 480 rounds so it’ll have enough ammo for dogfights
Is it really that much worse than delta wings? If any jet has good supersonic agility it would be the F-22, that’s where it would be sitting on a combat mission in its intended role
