they changed how all APFDDS rounds behave
they did adjustments to the drag and weight of all the APFSDS rounds and the M829A1 actually got a buff

2 whole mm of pen extra.
The M829 is getting a serious nerf, but it’s not the top round anymore on any vehicle so it doesn’t really matter.

It’s not, it has stuff like MLC modeled differently then the F-16, and the raw figures on it are different.
I do have a bug report accepted on some stuff wrong with it, but it’s just stuff that would make it better. It’s current performance is very close to expected aside from compressing way way too much.
It does have like, 1 square meter of extra wing area then it should, but that’s not going to noticably make it much worse.

Actually scratch the ‘IFV’ part, I forgot 50% of the reason its so abysmal is that its not an IFV, they didn’t make an ifv variant…
Best you get is a shoddy APC with a .50 cal. Rather than a full on IFV with a 40mm turret and 7 dismounts
Then it will need to be moved to 14.0 then.
Its literally like the third or fourth worse 13.7, it’s much closer to needing moving down to 13.3 then it is moving up.
Turn fighting should not dictate the BR of stuff alone, or else the Ki-27 would be 14.0.

For the past 6 months i’ve heard nothing but “Typhoon is the best gunfighter in the game therefore it doesnt need any buffs or bug fixes”
So its nice to finally find someone who realises that dogfight performance means bugger all at top tier
wrong 2.62mm of extra pe, which we can round up to 3mm of extra pen, which sounds like a pretty serious buff to me /s

Typhoon isn’t only “one of the best gunfighters” though, that thing is also one of the few planes that can somwhat keep up with the F-15E/I (pre update, so only AIM-120B) in bvr.
Id agree with you, if its radar wasnt a placeholder/complete buggy mess. BOL had been fixed and a few other issues.
Still awaiting the CAPTOR-M to be modeled and with the amount of things getting AESA. Its probably about time it gets AESA too.
It’s not like the F-15E/I radar is that special/solid. Everything I’ve dealt with using the EFT radar I’ve also dealt with using the F-15E/I radar to some extend (less in some aspects, but worse in others) ever since they introduced TWS+.
There is only 1 plane with an ESA radar equiped plane that can somewhat do long range BVR, the Su-30SM. So again the EFT is not alone in this aspect.

if Typhoon is denied AIm-120C5s, then CAPTOR-E would be the fair alternative
TWO WHOLE MILIMETER
like thats gonna pen anything more significant
also
ONLY the one w larger differences are below
which mean that M829 is still a nerf
u cant convince me anything buddy
Still waiting for the Gaijin to allow weapons like the Kormoran and the ASM series missiles to be launched at a location, like GPS/GNSS weapons. Their INS guidance should be able to operate similarly to GPS/GNSS guidance.

No AIM-120C-3 or 4 would be
Except the Typhoon never used any variant of the C before the C5.
Alr then fixed 120A’s
Neither one of those would differ from the A/B we already have, as Gaijin doesn’t model ECCM properly.
Then the F-15E doesnt need C5s then.
