No HMD (like the GR4 has with ASRAAM), limited missile count, very poor FM even at 12.3 let alone 13.0+. I think it would be okay at around 13.0/13.3. especially given IRIS-T is pretty massively nerfed and not that hard to defeat at the moment.
GR4 with ASRAAM and HMD would be trickier but 13.3 would probably be okay.
The better question though is whether or not it actually benefits the airframe. Both the SLE and GR4 need a BR reduction to 12.0, for most ground attackers a lower BR is usually always more beneficial than a better loadout which innevetiably increases the BR, even if they are largely unchanged in their primary role and so just end up weaker most of the time.
Though if you want a full list of possible missing loadouts including those not in-game yet or those that wouldn’t be beneficial to the airframe, just a full possible list.
It seems like the Comet missile is a France only design due to a recent clarification by the French Senate thanks to oceanfish for finding the source. The French Senate says that the Comete is a missile designed for Rafale F4 for 2030 and is different than the planned France-British Meteor successor which is planned for the next decade.
Yes, we were aware that Comet and Meteor MLU were 2 entirely different missiles.
and yes, why would the French Government reference an aircraft they dont operate. I doubt the MoD/British parliment would mention the Rafale in any documents regarding the Typhoon getting Meteor MLU. That doesnt mean that Meteor MLU isnt coming to the Rafale.
We shall have to see what happens in the future. At the moment ,almsot nothing is known about the comet
Turret often locked in forward position on A models due to adverse effects on controllability
Turret sometimes removed on A models for the same reason
Turret frequently removed on B models, and sometimes B models built without turret due to the above issue as well as greater need for common parts on B-29s
The only ones where it was shown directly next to the airframe however is the Sea Vixen FAW1 and the Jaguar
Spoiler
So it basically goes entirely into gaijin court as to what if anything gets them.
Im personally of the opinion that they should be added to the odd extra aircraft where its not a balance concern just for fun. Like the Jaguars or a Hawk. Stuff like the Phantom could get them too.
i see, so what aircraft would those be that you would like to see it come too? i would like to see it on more than 2 aircraft, i mean if the sea vixen can get it that would make it more usable in close combat even at 9.3 if it was to go up a br due to the missile
Dont forget the swiss f18C hornet aswell those also carried the AIM-9P/5 and its missing the AIM-120C-7 and AIM-9X too. idk if switzerland ever used the aim 9L/M.
if the f-5C gets 9j then the US event version of the f-5A should get it too as the 5c is just a limited number of 5A’s that been modified and tested by the US in the Vietnam war.
