Yeah it makes a beautiful hangar princess for me.
**F-18 Premium **
In my opinion the F-18 shouldn’t be a premium/ squadron plane. Which means people who have not experience could be playing in Fox 3 “Meta” which isn’t Friendly for lower level players. For example Look at the Su-33 many people who have no experience are playing in the fox 3 “Meta” and are free kills since they don’t know how to use the plane or play at a tier that high. It should be placed in the Tech tree wherever it’s placed.

What does the J-10B even offer over the J-10A to allow it to be the most competitive on this list?
Better flight performance (new Airframe and bettter Engine), PESA Radar and IRST.

Oooo, I’m very intrigued then! (But I take it the countermeasure count is still low?)
They’ll fix it when they add the Challenger 3.
But you don’t need to constantly lock the target for the entire time unlike SARH missiles.
First picture shows a J-10C but yes, more A2G options - I didn’t mention it as it wasn’t relevant in the context of A2A performance.
That’s an outright lie.
Even IF the drag changes buff the Rafale’s TTC, it’s not going to suddenly become F-15C/E and Typhoon equivalent in speed.
And do realize the JM 120 test is not done, and isn’t done on the 5 minute and 9 minute tests which matter more than FIF test.
But you do need it to launch a missile, quite often it switches during one engagement and then when I see another target, I’m in IRST for some reason, and by the time I’ve realised and switched, it’s too late and whatever I was trying to kill has shot me down, or something else has that I didn’t notice because I was too busy fighting with my radar

they have added the Challenger 3 lol, unless you mean the P and not the TD
and what does any of that actually mean.
and the fact is, the difference in speed doesnt suddenly double the effective range of the Aim-120 fired from a Typhoon compared to if it was fired from a Rafale.
There is a greater difference in max speed between the Typhoon (2,149 km/h) and the F-15E (2,718 km/h) or Su-27SM (2,498 km/h) than there is to the Rafale (1,908 km/h)
The excuse that the “Typhoon is faster therefore the Typhoon is vastly superior in BVR combat to the Rafale” is a misleading statement at best. Especially given how much better the radar is.

It is a production version - even has the 1200hp engine lol
The F-15E cannot go 2700kph, and the Typhoon goes over 2300kph.
Im going purely by the wiki
its a weird combination of the 2, but it is not a production model
Yeah I was referring to production.
Yeah, don’t go off wiki data in the future.
Test drives give the data you need.
