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

i dont think so
but most if not all modern fighters still have a FCS to icrease safty and to reduce maintainence

and some of them are able to turn it off
pretty well know example is the Flanker with the “Cobra button”

I’m 99% sure it’s unstable in pitch. Idk about yaw though.

You can’t really turn off FCS for unstable jets or FBW jets all you can do is loosen the limits I think

i know

i just said that there are modern jets, that are able to turn off the FCS
not that unstable designes are able to

Have you seen the leaks on the newer jets, how do you think they gonna deal with it ?

Any news on planned technical works?

Not this late.

Are we getting the updated tomorrow? This has been a lot longer wait time than other updates since the dev server opened.

Apparently not- there was no planned technical works announcement.

its joever

One Rafale did reach 11G during a demonstration
not exactly a life or death situation

The issue is that the pilot are taking Gs like it’s nothing in game, but that’s mostly true for every plane

Fairly certain Gripens have a “hard limit” of 12Gs

Is the Aspide 1A missile the only Fox 1 missile that can be directed to a jamming zone?

I mainly play the Chinese and a lot the J8B in sim I noticed for a very long time that the Aspide 1A missile manages to hit the targets even when the radar of the J8B was in distress because of the chaff, I tested other missiles of the AIM 7 family (except the P version) and having tested them all I find that the Aspide 1A is the best AIM 7 of the game, it may not have the range of the AIM 7M but in a situation where the enemy plane chaffs enormously with evasive maneuvers I find that the Aspide 1A has more chance of hitting

while doing research I learned that the Aspide 1A was probably equipped with a “HOJ” (home-on-jam) and one of the only other missiles identified with a HOJ in the sparrow family is the AIM 7M and P, difficult at my level to make real comparisons or to find all the information I turned to an AI which confirmed to me that the Aspide 1A was technologically more advanced than the latest version of the AIM 7 and which also confirms my feeling

but with all the parts that I was able to do I notice that the Aspide 1A is the only Sparrow that will cross chaff to hit its target if the missile is close enough

(I would like to point out that the Aspide 1A can guide itself alone in the terminal approach phase without radar detection from the firing aircraft and in a chaff environment.)


and a good part of my 1212 kills I owe to the Aspide 1A (many F14As suffered playing the albatross) X)

How old is this datamine?

Do not know if this carries over to later versions, but yes, A was limit to 12.

Gripen is capable of 12g, airframe is capable of further (demonstrated by tragedy) but the pilot generally should not, from what remember of investigations when A was announce. Which if Gaijin were consistent would translate to 16-18 in game, if they followed the conventions they’ve applied to virtually every other platform which is just slightly annoying that they have not.

Out of curiosity, how long do most vehicles take from the start of planning to their introduction? I have heard people say ~1 year on average, though I imagine there is a fair amount of variance.

If possible, could you share some of the vehicles that had unusually long or short development cycles?

The gripen is AoA limited ingame and not G-limited
