I’ve read better things on the F-16AM, specially with the bonus for the MAWS more usable than on other F-16s.
the F-16AM has a better FM than the Cs at the cost of
MAWS is only usable if you sacrifice 2 AIM-120s, and you dont get a radar HMD. Which are BIG advantages to lose out on.
Strange i remember reading than using the MAWS on the F16AM need less sacrifice than on the others but ok.
Su-33 is a redesignation of the Su-27K, the Su-27KUB is the twin seat (side-by-side) naval trainer that was developed for training pilots on carrier take-offs and landings.
The Soviets immediately saw value in a strike-bomber variant of the flanker with a cockpit arrangement similar to the Su-27KUB and it was initially designated the Su-32 before being slightly changed and renamed to the Su-34.
the MAWS is tied to the CM pods (which for some reason) cannot mount AIM-120s like it can IRL.
The Su-33UB is a trainer. Its weaponry is the same as that of the base Su-33.
So… You agree with me. Typhoon with certain limitaitons, could be added in December at the same BR as the F-15C MSIP II and it wouldnt totally and completely break the game like people usually claim whenever you mention adding the Typhoon.
Imagine EFT, F2 and F/A-18 December

the Tranche 1 Block 5 (the first one I expect to see at this rate) would in the current game have the strongest Radar easily, as well as the best FM, on top of matching the F-15C in missile quality and only losing on missile Quantity…
While not struggling to reach meaningful BVR speeds like the F/A-18C and J-10A do. you heavily undersell this plane.

To me, that would be a really good update.
F-18 (with Aim-120Cs) for Sweden and US
Typhoon (With Aim-120Bs) For Italy, Britain and Germany
Rafale for france
Thai Gripen C for Japan or maybe F-2?
etc etc
would be a really solid update

No
Why no?
Few aircraft get added with their actual radars. The Gripen’s radar takes months and months to be added and no gurantee that AESA/PESA wont be added at the same time
Maybe, but strong enough BVR against it like the F-15C or F-18C would mitigate that. Dogfight vs BVR truck just like the F3 vs F-16/Mig-29 but now in reverse.
The F-2.
And the Rafale ofc:p

Only problem is adding non european canard plane.
Because the update would not be named “European Canards”’ in that case :p
Also i wonder if we gonna start with all 3 main member of the Rafale family or just one.
Yeah, I forgot about the F-2, Though the Thai Gripen might be a good addition for them anyway
Atp id take either or tbh id prefer the F2 but id take a Gripen

F18c isn’t really comparable to Rafales and eurofighters. Super hornet is more comparable to those
