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

what else is he supposed to do theres not much he can do he gets 6 missiles thats it

at some point its running out of fuel. i dont think those engines are particularly efficient

there from icbms

no, they arent. where could you have possibly gotten that from?

The missiles aren’t the problem. This is the same case as the F-104 at 9.3, just tenfold worse.

People are just gonna use the speed to prolong matches for an eternity because they literally do not have a choice. They cannot turn around and fight, so they are only left with the options to J out or to run and most of them won’t J out.

not anytime soon with the 5,300 liter drop tank

nope my bad there cruise missle engines
The R-15-300 was designed at the OKB-300 design bureau led by Sergei Tumansky in the late 1950s. The engine was originally intended for the Tupolev Tu-121 high-altitude high-speed cruise missile.

now i really want the MiG-25 for the party-size drop tank

wheres it gonna be for br wise most likely

what about MiG-31 with Gsh-6-23 or R-73

You are asking that as if we had planes that can just go Mach 2 snap like that

i dont think MiG-25 can do mach 2 snap like that

would be even cooler if it did though

f15E

How does that change the fact that the thing has a turning radius almost as big as the map?

it can turn max 5G X the 1.5 multiplier it can pull a max of 7.5 g turn

A whole 7.5G, oh boy

it’s okay that’s the max G an aced pilot can sustain without blacking out in wt
