Major Update "Seek & Destroy" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

The J-8F has poor energy retention, making it very difficult to engage in combat with many fourth-generation fighters. And 12.3 with just two additional PL-12s. the rest is PL-5B and PL-8? don’t make me laugh. a PL-8 with flare resistance inferior to even a 9L will have difficulty fighting even its own class. 12.3 is an excessive rating. 12.0 is more appropriate.

It is strange that they havent released an A-10C along with the su25’s, and its not like US helis are even relevant in their own competition

A-4M is also very very very delayed

its dev server so what you expecting

true, so true

How is it that the AAM-4, which is significantly different in size from the AIM-120, has the same warhead weight? Could this number be a placeholder? Considering its diameter, it should have a warhead weight similar to that of the AIM-7.

“balance”

Big report time

(It’s all classified lmao)

every single DERBY fanboy is writing 50 page reports as we speak rn

Unless they do it like they did the F-15C and limit how many it can carry. It’s so weird that the 15C can only carry 4 when others are carrying 6…

What’s with the Belgian F-16A getting AIM-9M’s at 12.0 lmao? I just noticed that.

the funny

because it has no aim-7

F-16C carrying 6 is laughable, considering its arguably a “better” pick to the F-15C (which should have a weaker FM to the F-15A)

But we’ll see

It currently seems to be a AIM-120A C&P, while its supposed to be close to AIM-120C-5 in e.g. kinetic performance (100km launch range, dual-stage motor…).

9.3 is where the 35 should be and the 30 should be 8.3 maybe 8.7

Does not justify it at all honestly. I’d much, much rather have the AIM-9M’s than the Sparrows.

Germany moment
