A big question is how big the gap in HMD capability will be.
Right now America gets 19km HMD at 12.0 lol, Russia only has a handful of planes and even the ones at 13.7 only have 10km.
From a gameplay perspective HMD is like the thermals/LRF of air battles, and right now soviet/russia stuff is awful in that regard.
Valid although I did hear that Russians did develop a lot of systems to counter the electronic warfare but it’s untested we don’t really know much about it however I would still disagree because typhoon would still need to get much closer to a felon to achieve a lock with its inferior radar than the felon needs to achieve lock on typhoon even if we include both sides EW
Bro it depends on what kind of Air battle takes place. the F-22 would have absolutely no change in BVR fights because the F-35 simply has better stealth as well as better radar systems and electronics which will detect the F-22 before it detects the F-35.
When talking about WVR battles the F-22 will definitely win because of its high manuverability due to its thrust-vectoring capabilities and overall shape. The F-22 is so unstable when it flies that you can actually see the on board computer making corrections as you fly. You can see this especially when the F-22 is flying at slow speeds.
Since the F-35 is designed as a multi role fighter it can engage both ground and air targets. Now a days most of the Air battles taking place are BVR. This gives the F-35 an advantage over the F-22. Another aspect is the electronic warfare system the F-35 has. Its AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar is so advanced that it has hundreds of radar signals shooting in all directions to gather as much information as possible in the shortest amount of time possible. This allows the F-35 to interfere with the guiding systems of enemy aircrafts.
So to sum everything up the F-35 will win a modern day fight which is very often BVR but when it comes to dog fighting the F-22 is clearly superior.
Not really sure what gaijins justification was for that. We have bug reports for aircraft like the SHar FA2 which should have a 37km ACM but they have stated that 19km is the standard and there is no plan on increasing it further than that. So assuming that the ACM mode for the Su27 is equal to or greater than 19km. It’s strange if doesn’t have a 19km ACM mode.
Ive also just assumed HMD range = ACM range. So same answer there.
We may never know. But I’d not dismiss the Typhoon In that fight either
but it’s untested
Adaptability matters more than tested, go look at the “battle tested” Abrams and what happened to it in the Saudi led intervention in Yemen. Leclercs on average performed significantly better than the thoroughly battle tested Abrams.
Same should and would realistically apply the SU-57, the battle field is ever changing and figures stated by one nation doesn’t really matter anymore.
Yeah you’re right typhoon can win but the odds are in su 57 favour
Yeah I understand but that’s why I said we don’t really know
Ya and its a real shame, because our radars are, and will be always worse than american, so the HMD is something we really need.
With radars like the Captor-E in the Typhoon
The Captor-E was just a technology demonstrator like the Challenger 2 Black Night, it was never put in service with any British Typhoons.
British Typhoons are still stuck with regular but more advanced than normal PD radars but new radars are being tested as of right now.
The coverage and range of the radar found on the SU-57 should still far exceed the one found on nearly all Typhoon variants, this also includes more advanced missiles (allegedly) and that being the R-37M.
I’m actually making a new suggestion of your gamer tag rn😂
literally no one on this forum knows the capababilities of the radars mounted to either the F22 or the Su57. And if they did, and were ralking about it on here, they would have either the CIA or the KGB on their doorstep in about 5 minutea
I mean yeah of course we don’t know that’s the whole point of speculation trying to come with something that sounds plausible
The current Radar on the EF is the best non AESA Radar there is. Able to lock targets at ranges of up to 300km.
You’re NONSTOP posting garbage on the internet, you have made it far more than clear you care too much.
In fact, the only thing you couldn’t care about is how wrong or uninformed your opinions are on a daily basis. Your entire presence on this forum is to be a muppet for American propaganda.
We have no way of truly knowing their full capabilities nor their real RCS, or even the tactics that they would use in actual combat, so all arguments pro or against are moot points.
(I do think the Su-57 looks better tho)
In that sense, my bet is that the US and European made radars of the modern day.
F35, F22, Eurofigher, Rafale, etc will have the edge over Russian made equipment.
Best radar among them will be whats mounted on the F35
That’s easy. The SU57 is a beautiful jet, despite it being the same surface area as a tenniscourt
More surface area, more lift 😎
Hey I mean that’s completely valid point of view I mean America did produce radars for a long time and they did pump more money into radar development than Russians did in past 20 years
