If Gaijin goes full yak141 treatment with the M4K (not gonna happen) and give it 14 magics2/530D, it could slap hard too :p
It had all ten in the teaser, so there’s no reason to think it won’t.
I do think people underestimating the Eagle though.
I’m hoping for at least ten so it can be kinda comparable to the Su-27, but I’m not holding my breath.
It’s an asymmetrical equivalent to the Su-27, yes.
Hmm, i’ve seen only 6, in what part it had 10? Looks like I missed it
how so? r27ers will be defeated by current meta, hugging the ground
He will take the F-15 for 2 mins, take off fire 2 missiles, miss with 2 of them, show unfinished cockpit, then crash and leave test drive.
me goes back to bed because i am tired
gaijin proceeds to release 2 dev blogs in under 4 hours one being the challenger 3
what does this mean
When it showed the underside soon after it was first shown.
I agree.
If there is really going to be a very clear meta with no alternatives I won’t be touching the top tier this update
Like I said, I would be pefectly happy with an F-15A with AIM-9M and AIM-7M (I don’t think AIM-9L cut it for the direct counterpart of an Su-27 with ER, ET and R-73).
However I also like to theorize.
I wonder between Su27 and M4K wich is gonna be the best at dogfight.
I guess Su27 but i think the M4K can still give it hard time.
TwR > 1.23 (i’ve read 1.4 sometime, but not sure at all), big delta, slats, canards…
Perhaps like the actual meta, Mirage 2000 win on the first turn, but lost if we enter more turns fights.
Merkava 4 armor done right lmao
as long as the they give the gripen an a historical loadout so it can keep up if AMRAAMs arent coming then sure
It seems like the new meta will be in number of missiles, which isn’t too unmanageable, however things like the MiG-29 and F-16 will be overshadowed somewhat.
Same meta as now. Hug the ground until merge, the aircraft with the best maneuvering (f-16) wins. As long as one of the pilots dont lose visual and get reversed in a cloud or something.
as seen here, russian tank crews would rather turn around and drive away, exposing the weak rear armor than use the shitty reverse speed, which is 4 kmh
The Mirage 4000 is a Euro-canard lite, so it will win in my mind.
