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

i feel like theres so many cockpits that have such low effort put into them, i also hate how most cockpits dont show nctr names on the radar screen, only in 3rd person tws

Its the F-15C GE all over again, but somehow its even worse.

At least the Golden Eagle introduced AESA radars to the tech tree, while still lacking the extra pylons (on day one).

The next F-16C will introduce… another missile which will be far more useful on the F/A-18E.

so nctr is completely useless in sim for most of them

Gotta love it

and at least it got some extra missiles to make it worth using over the e

from what i can tell the E we have in game 6002 is the second one sweeden have gotten as a full producion variant

Firstly r27er has much more energy than aim120c5

Secondly, the r27er seeker itself is much more resistant to notching and chaffing than avg fox 3 seeker.

And fox 3 go active on rwr at around 10 to 15km, sarh missiles are alerted by rwr as soon as they are launched, which allows people to notch early, but doing that still leaves enough energy for the missile and not make it over shoot.

Not only that but people just launch r27er and break lock and let it glide through iog, and then relock at last moments not giving enough time to notch. This simply isn’t the nature of fox 3 missile, irl they are preferred to lock on jet asap.

It’s not registered under the Flygvapnet, so I don’t believe that’s correct, it’s owned by SAAB but it’s not registered under the air force to my knowledge. Only the newer models with the correct wings are registered.

please… dev server today… i want eitan…

D3 would atleast have a better motor, tho I wish they give aim120d mica seeker stats

We shall industrialize all of Talos II whether they want it or not.

The plane in game is a serries production Gripen E, that specific tail number is one of the ones owned and flown by FMV (Swedens defence material supplier) (Edit: now i got a bit uncertain of this claim, will double check). It isn’t an in service version but it also isn’t one of the pre-production prototypes.

that may be, that also partialy links to that this one was one of the once sweeden got in 2019 proberbly to make tests and sutch to make sure it was within criterias, tho that one is still a proper production variant

Reminds me of the Sepv2 dev blog when they tried to sell us that it was an upgrade over Sepv1. Granted it only took them 2 years to actually make Sepv2 worth taking.

Again then it’s name should be changed, it’s not a service Gripen with the Flygvapnet and it’s not a current production model given it’s an older 6002 model.

i find it hilarious how they had absolutely nothing good to say about the f16 so they just made stuff up

Yeah the F-15C GE had that and at least had BOL launchers giving it a funny amount of CMs.

All the bulletpoints listed for this F-16C are just absolute basics for top tier, hell if you go down the list this F-16C is among the worst for all of the listed things.
