i wanna see gaijins sources on that
I launch amraams at 40km and get kills every match 1 or 2 catching high flyers off guard.
I always chalks those up to either incompetance or over confidence on the side defending. I’ve personally never been killed by such a long ranged shot
They used “geolocation” to describe F-22 ECM suite, and that one can use RWR for fire control too iirc.
And wouldnt it be redundant to use geolocation with your definition if they also say it has 360° coverage?
I have never claimed that EPAWSS was the sensor fusion suite, only that it is stated to be integrated with the F-15. It also literally says it uses tech from 5th gen stuff. Coming from the people who bought LM Sanders ECM expertise and inherited the ALR-94 production, and then went and designed the ASQ-239 on the F-35
New ADCP II computer made to use EPAWSS to it’s full extent. Said to have next generation capabilities (4th to 5th) which means F-35 level computer.
Also, seeing as the EX are new build F-15 advanced eagle series, they almost certainly were made with sensor fusion and datalink in mind vs an F-15C or even F-15E
Then just like the Tornado for Germany it should’ve been left out. I simply mentioned in the AJS’s respective BR its honestly up to preference.
AJS
F-5A(G)-40
@Morvran what are you going to take at 10.7 ground? In this case? The one trick pony CAS jet or the Multirole fighter with no CCIP or CCRP? But better at CAP
Already fixed that
I haven’t checked your post so i didn’t know if you had changed it. But at 10.7 both the AJS and F-5A(G)-40 have their respective roles and more often then not i end up playing CAP which the AJS struggles in where the F-5A(G)-40 doesn’t
If it goes nuclear, the U.S. would level france. Meanwhile the U.S., at least large portions of it, would be largely unscathed.
I agree, but what I’m getting at is that the AJS has a Strike Jet designation. This means its SP cost does not increase after spawning the JAS39C. For the F-5A(G), since it’s a Jet Fighter, the SP cost increases after spawning the JAS39C. There’s no reason to take the F-5A(G), but there’s at least SOME reason to take the AJS.
I don’t know why you continue with him.
Honestly, that’s my last one. hehe nukes isn’t really realistic.

Both would be leveled.
Eh, sp cost isn’t really a problem, like 90% of sweden at 10.0+ is light tanks so i rarely worry about CAS SP cost.
I have not heard anything like that or seen it in any sources.
No, because it applies it can jam or detect signals in 360 degree coverage, similar to Rafale and EFT in-game.
To be fair, assuming that the same people who made two different products doesn’t mean both products are the same in quality. It’s obvious that the amount of development and funding that have gone into the F-35 is different than the funding that have gone into the F-15EX.
Typically if someone is making an aircraft with sensor fusion in mind, they also build more sensors into the aircraft. They would build an IRST/TV, MAWS, LWS, and other sensors. Because if you want really good sensor fusion, you also want to have many sensors, that isn’t the case here with F-15EX which still lacks MAWS, LWS, and IRST/TV built into the aircraft.
If you look at the F-35, sensor fusion was a priority hence the inclusion of LWS, MAWS, IRST/TV, AESA antennas, and optical cameras throughout the airframe providing complete spherical coverage and greater situational awareness.
Well yeah, because EX is taking advantage of the development for all the new gen stuff already happening and making an small improvement on that, naturally it is going to cost less
In defense of EX, I have to say that the other 2 Advanced eagles had MAWS but air force didn’t get them for some odd reason
Im gunna give the pain the arse answer.
Depends on the context.
The BOZ pods could be more valuable, even just one. To help defend against SPAA/CAP. But if there was a meaningful chance of fighting an enemy fighter without friendly CAP. Id rather be in the F-5.
Though the F-5 does look to have far less compromise and the cold fusion engines would help in defending against Strelas and other IR SAMs I reckon.
But If I knew I could focus purely on ground attack, Id rather be in the Viggen I think (if that is the one with CCIP/CCRP) but both do have AGMs as well… So would also factor in which AGM I prefered using.
Eh 24 medium? Flares with the viggens engine means you need about 8-12 flares to get a ZSU-23-4 M4 missile off of you, strela is 12 or more and thats with 6km distance between and with afterburner off.
The F-5 honestly is almost the same but maybe like a few CM less to get missiles off.
Should be large.
Was more looking at it for just dumping metric tons of large calibre chaff. It works quite well in the Jaguar with the Phimat pod I find (at least it feels like it does :D )
Chaff means nothing honestly against the IR slingers for CAS. The biggest benefit of the Viggen is you can spawn and immediately search for targets sure you only have good visibility on perfect non cloudy weather and your missiles don’t work on night maps but you do at least have a TV screen to see from a distance vs using the F-5A at close range.
Use Northrop cold fusion tech on the F-5, you don’t even need flares
