The article doesn’t list any sources, but it does match stuff that I read over on secret projects
Rb.73 seems to have been the basis for the Meteor missile

So they were 14.0 aircraft that got to stomp around at a lower BR for a while.
They made 21 functional missiles and did test fires
It would be no different than adding a prototype ground vehicle.
did dev servers get closed and if so for how long?
Maybe we are lucky and they add it like they did with the SRAAM
F-15E/I EFT rafale are 14.3 worthy so they are actually the first 14.3 planes and the first real 14.0 planes are f18cs and su30sm

5th part.
If this forum was divided into pages and each page held 50 replies we would be getting close to page 800.

soooo, Updoot Tuesday?
I wanna play harriers
Just checked over on the old forums, they divided pages into 25 replies each, so we would be at page +/-1570
The most recent (complete) RR&D on the old forums (La Royale) had 545 pages with apparently 42 of them hidden

Eurofighters MAWS can give guidance Info to IRIS-T missiles to intercept incoming missiles. It’s prolly what he means

I didn’t even know that you could take off on carriers in top tier Air RB in the first place. I really do hope that with the Hornet being added that you can take off of carriers again. It sounds super cool!
Well i can’t say i’m surprised
Firstly, the “worse RCS” that was usually shouted out is now dampened after the airshow in India where the Americans were finally able to see a version of it in person and the RCS was set to be on par with the F-35 but still worse than the F-22 which has waaaay better stealth (On par =/= same as).
Secondly, It has both HMD and Low thermal signature engines, not sure where you’re getting your information from. I do believe another response to this message has linked pictures of both of these systems integrated.
Thirdly, in game both WT and DCS, Russian planes underperform because unlike the games in which the planes are flown mostly individually, the real life doctrine of the Soviet/Russian Air Force is to always operate with ground radar controllers, datalink and SAM coverage. The manoeuvreability deal is underplayed by NATO counterparts saying it would never get to the merge, which is a gross overconfidence of their abilities. Having ground controller and datalink means, in the fog of war, the Su-57 could fly without giving the enemy any RWR warnings or notifications while flying lower (as seen with hundreds of succesful Flanker sorties in Ukraine in recent years.)

Finally, worse missiles? Are you sure? Have you forgotten about the R-77-1, R-77-M, R-37M and the R-73M?
Meanwhile the AIM-9X gets flared by an Su-22M3 from the 70’s in Syria.

I like how China’s 14.0 jet is moving to 13.7 to become the new OP 13.7 jet better than all 13.7 jets and slightly better than half of the 14.0 jets.

How is it more op than all other 13.7s and half of the 14.0s? From what I last checked it is effectively just a Su-27SM with 6x PL-12s and 4x PL-8Bs which both of those are nothing to write home about. You get 2 more AAMs than the F-15C which has netter ARH missiles and a much better radar and all of the 14.0s are way better than it.
The J-11B is an F-15 that has a higher STR, better flight performance overall, and the same time to climb as F-15C. All with 2 more missiles, and the F-15C is itself OP.
