Major Update “Air Superiority” - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 3)

waiting for teaser

I still remember when I literally started the whole “Enhance” meme cult when there was a single frame of a trailer where there was a shade merely resembling a Viggen and I tried to use advanced upscaling AI to try to figure out if it was actually a Viggen lmao

What’s the deal with the F-15? If we assume it will be an early version with some flares and without AMRAAM, what would it offer over the presently existing planes? How much power creep in terms of flight performance or radar or whatever?

I’m also curious about Su-27 if anyone knows the deal with these planes.

it would be faster

More missiles

that too

better radar too? idk not my speciality

Also, friendly reminder that, if 2A7V is to come for Germany, Italy-Hungary WILL be getting this, sooner or later:

Leopard 2A7HU

For me, it’s literally just because it’s my favorite plane. Not for any advantage or progress in the game, literally just because I love the look of it. Main reason I play DCS honestly.

Italy-Hungary

when did Austria leave that?

One thing I’m excited to see is how an eventual F-14D with AIM-7M and AIM-9M compares to F-15 (with the same missiles)

That camo is sexy

Without ARH / early variants:

The Flanker would carry up to 10 missiles with 4 being R-73 and 6 being some flavor of 27s. Plus it would have the Flanker aerobatic coolness.

The Eagle would be a fixed 4 Winder, 4 Sparrow loadout. It would be quick, have good TWR, and good maneuverability. Radar would probably not be significantly better than the competition given WT limitations. Probably not anything game breaking in terms of capabilities.

as long as it is at least 2 patches later and most of the italian options are finished ,i dont mind. Germany can get the VT-EBT II or otherwise known as leo 2a7a1 at that point

That pic goes so hard

My favourite Leopard armor configuration, too!

Leopards without the add-on turret roof armor (like 2A7HU, 2E or 122s) feel weird to me at this point hahahah

One of the few things I dislike about 2A7V.
