it can still use its 9X effectively at close range with radar slaving. itll do fine, and they will probably have to add spectral flares to deal with IIR missiles
i dont think IIR missiles are guaranteed
Gr4 already gets tons of BOL countermeasures to help survive
waiting on them modelling the IRCCM like they did on the Mi-28NM where its just immune to IR missiles (even if this type of jamming is useless on IIR missiles)
In a headon, they wont help much, that is kinda the point of ASRAAMs design philopshy.
But they havent even buffed BOL to help against the IIR SAMs being added.
Why don’t you understand that they think it’s realistic?
Still an 11.3 aircraft at 12.3.
If the argument that the F-15E, a 14.0 aircraft, needs BOL. because its a “bomber” and struggles against fighters. Then the Tornado Gr4 needs more than just BOL.

Back to the start adding more biplanes :)
I get the CMs amount worries, but J-15T is probly lighter than J-16 (and definetily lighter than Su-33 thanks to composite materials), while also having Canards and good engines.

Please tell me you weren’t one of those people who thought AESA is unnotchable lol, because I’m seriously getting the vibes of people assuming IRL data will translate to WT 1 to 1 instead of realizing that Gaijin tweaks things to make it balanced in some way
then F-15E is a 13.0 aircraft at 14.0 lol. and the tornado does get more than just bol, it gets the 1200 large chaff pods and 9M on a supersonic jet at 12.3
if I remember right the point of the ASRAAM is like that of the R27ER where the goal is to not only be able to launch before other planes can but also even if you are late to the launch that its so much faster it will reach the enemy before their AAM hits you.
Yeah,
Want to use AMRAAM or Meteor? Nope its stealth
Want to use ASRAAM or IRIS-T? Nope its IRCCM
Want to use Guns? Nope its made out of Stalinium.
But its not top tier material so will be a lower BR than everyoen else
You really believe that the F-15E is only a 13.0 worthy aircraft?
Then the Sea Harrier FA2 must need to be 9.7 then

you really believe the Gr4 is 11.3 worthy?
I do hope BOL will be buffed up once IIR is properly implemented.
There’s reports that were accepted already:

I’m not a developer and I’m not particularly bothered about BOL underperforming. I think it should perform however is realistic, but there are probably bigger fish to fry.
Yep, exactly that. The idea being that no one will survive equal range launches. So kill the target before it can launch
Hmm maybe, I just love the two seater Sino Flankers they look soooo goood.
J-15D in a EW update maybe…
