Well then, we have to see how good that’s gonna be

the A has better seeker and range iirc

If it carries 8 PL-12’s I’d say 14.3 at best, few countermeasures and an AESA, it gets maws but I think it might be rear hemisphere only.

If it gets PL-12A’s then likely higher.

so just better range in game unless gaijin graces us with aim120d and pl12a seeker buffs

It’s confirmed by Gaijin to have increased range and GPS. I would go further to say it will have a heavier weight for the missiles as well, but this is unconfirmed.

MiG-29UPG?

Nah bro, it’d clearly be in the trailer, we’re talking about the backbone of a big air force that has yet to be actually implemented in the game, it would be a major addition

this is probably a dumb question but will the gps help its target guidance at all especially for multipathing target?

I dont exactly understand the benefit of thew gps

POBIT is mostly internal changes, taken from the proposed F-16V to India. HAVE GLASS isn’t implemented yet ingame so it doesn’t do anything until we get 5th gen aircraft then maybe they will do it but the paint is only applied to F-16s but can prove me wrong aight.

halfglass doesnt seem to even be modeled as a cockpit glass change the pobit in the trailer still has the gold canopy lol. i do wonder how they will implement rcs features on 4.5 gens.

Yeah not now but at some point i would love to see it

Gold canopy is due to HAVE GLASS I being applied to it to reflect radar waves.

plot twist: ingame it makes you a priority radar target
