Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Its just the coin flipping from what we’ve had over the past few years.

F-4s have always been strongest in BVR fights with Mig-21/Mig-23/Viggen etc dominating them in a WVR fight

Tornado F3 / F-14 always been strongest in a BVR fight with F-16, Gripen, Mig-29 etc dominating them in a WVR fight

Now its just F-15/F-18 strongest in BVR fight with Typhoon and Rafale stronger in the WVR.

So what else do you suggest we do?

I can see the flight model being close to JF-17 but with superb AoA and maybe better energy retention. And again 10 AIM-120 would give it extra edge against EFT or F-15

That’s your team issue, consider so many players only have 1 spaa lmao

I’d say F-18 will be strongest in mid range fights because it just wont be able to get to these super high speeds required for fair BVR.

until meteor comes

Bro, my teams usually dont even have more than 1 tank, let alone spaas😭

eft comes with 12 total missles

6 wvr and 6bvr, soo ehhh

Yup, then it will be T4 Typhoon with Meteor vs F-22s with Aim-120Ds. That to me seems like a reasonably fair fight

yall think we get devblogs this week?

Its max 10 (and only with twin AIM-9 pylons) with up to six AIM-120. Rest are short range missiles

Probably

Even then, i dont think we’ve conlcusively proven to the devs it can take 6x Aim-120. Might be 6x IR and 4x BVR

its 12, we gathered multiple sources for it

Even if you gathered brochures or planned specification it doesnt make early block capable of carrying 12 missiles. You need to be specific as of which model is supposedly capable of said loadouts.

Oh, so, even though 6 of us spawned SPAA, it’s a “team issue” because we did not spawn MORE than one SPAA each…?

So “just spawning SPAA” isn’t good anymore, you also have to purchase backups and “just spawn SPAA AND Backup SPAA”… and when that’s not enough (which wouldn’t be", “just spawn fighter”…

right from tranche 1, just read trough the eft UK thread.

if you wanna believe it or not shrug, the a2a capability to carry stuff didnt change at any point of the eft development

You need to spawn an patriot site then if it doesn’t work your point MAYBE considered.

I think they need to spawn at least a full ARB match worth of fighters so it can be considered that they tried to defend themselves.

This man is shrugging
