Major Update "Leviathans" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

okay let be real here
the only aspect that EFT beat F-15E is dogfight
anything else F-15E is better
being faster can carry more AMRAAM and better radar.
well EFT should have better radar but nature of CAPTOR M you know how it is going (hint worse than Gripen lol)

Thought eft had better acceleration

F-15E has better climb rate, dunno about acceleration

They as in UK germany ish France Russia italy(i think they have eurofighter). (big top dogs recently).
They have had a lot of advantages over the F-15E and F-16C. Like how they carry the same aim-120 variant with more flares and 2 more IR missiles (eurofighter) Or the R-77-1 which at closer ranges is more effective than the aim-120 do to the increase in thrust.

Its been a while, i know they changed the EFT’s drag coefficient values but i haven’t tested with it or seen a performance chart since.

I do believe they carry the same amount of AMRAAMs.

Typhoons carry 6 AMRAAMs at most, the F-15E can carry 8

Both carry 8

Sure name the downsides of the NEW finnish hornet. Not the old one because the old was worse.

Seriously i thought they updated eft to 8

i have come to the conclusion that the iris isnt that hard to counter

Careful you are dangerously close to being bombarded with that view point.

No one wants to accept that the Typhoon just isn’t meta, it doesn’t excel at anything and is pretty average. It’s payload is poor, it’s Radar is broken and if you turn a couple of times it looses all energy it falls out of the sky.

Up high it feels like it’s flying on water with the mouse aim wanting to roll the bloody thing and down low you have no advantages.

Nice, no pictures was part of why strike eagle BOL report never (or at least the ones I’ve seen)went through

Sadly that was one of the Rafale buffs

never have eight amraam at the begin with

I’m usually at the front of the pack in the rush towards the enemy. its the fastest but that’s about it

yes but then it can carry 2 Aim-9m which when the F-15E does that they carry the same amount of the same missiles.

Between those nations and the US there was no real top dog.
The Typhoon trio and the French had better dogfighters.
The USSR had a longer ranged ARH, which still sucked at range and was about equal in close range, however their radar wasn’t that great.
The US had the best BVR plane.

Im talking old Finnish hornet new one is finally on par with the US model, but comparison exactly new one lacks effective CAS making it redundant but in exchange has BOL. Making it a 1:1 with the US F18 one is better at CAS while the other has added countermeasures and useless CAS. Its an actual fair off
