Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

At this point I have NO clue!..the only missiles I can think of that may be close would be AIM120D vs R-77M? I guess…but these will need HUGE maps, 160km range on these missiles!

No, but I have watched a U-2 fly around lol.

But yeah, from a distance id say the concorde looks sleek and brutal at same time, it’s way more aggressive than other airliners but not as mean looking as an F-15 or tomcat.

The brutalist look is honestly really nice, I like seeing all the slightly exposed bits and warning labels whenever I go to an airshow or plane museum.

Where is this from?

Oh no. this is gonna be a clusterf*** in air matches

where is this from?

I assume a user mission

One step closer to the F-22 though

im gonna laugh if the F22 is incredibly mid

It’s never going to happen exactly (at this point [AV-8B(DA), A-4M, F/A-18A, F-4S (Late) ]), but one can dream.

Also the fact that the Walleye II ER/DL, is being added without the AN/AWW-13 Secure Datalink pod is criminal, I really wish Post-Release control mechanisms wasn’t such an issue, we already have GPS/INS + SALH which effectively do the same thing already.

Supercruise at M1.8-1.9
Very powerful AESA radar
Possibly the best supersonic manueverability in the world (sorry typhoon guys)
TVC for low speed
Solid missiles armament of 6 amraam 2 sidewinder

Its gonna be so funny if the F22 ends up being mid AF as there’s no aim 9x

F-22 got 9X in 2014 or 2015

again you say all of this but I would laugh so hard if it again came to the game and was just kinda meh and barely better then the top end 4.5 gen jets, because im gonna be honest at least in Air RB I doubt stealth will play that much of a role at the ranges we are fighting

The bare minimum supercruise requirement was 1.5+

It was meant to spend a lot of time supersonic, it has to have excellent supersonic manueverability, even Eurofighter GMBH admitted it

Everything I said had nothing to do with stealth. I specifically avoided putting that there

Continuing the discussion from Major Update "Hornet Sting" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3):

Does it mean Italy will finally get its first squadron vehicle this update?
