The early C are exact same as B but with clipped wings
AFAIK, it should also be able to pull 40Gs instead of just 35, right?
I may be mistaken, since I am not as well versed on air as I am on ground xD
And I proposed C-5 vs C-1 amraam to give this
APG77 is better than J10 for sure but at least comparable, cause after all J10C’s one is a 700mm radar, slightly smaller than that of late F18s even, but roughly they have same T/R modules. IDK though way too confidential.
Well it is pretty much an underestimation especially of China after gifting them the radar tech. I think it is at least known to be pretty much as good as other nations’ radar in the past 2 decades. But I guess US let off a bit as a result of funds.
No, early C is the EXACT SAME as 120B, it JUST has clipped wings
what good is a longer ranged radar missile against an aircraft I can’t lock anyway, the F-22 would still outrange, we need better IR missiles more than better ARH ones, so if you’re ok with 9X/ASRAAM/IRIS-T armed Typhoons against 9M armed F-22s then thats fine but we need better IR missiles first, then the C-5 vs C-1 would be fine
Like I said, the ideal is ASRAAM/IRIS-T/Meteor Typhoon, vs 120C-5/9X F-22, then we’re equal in close range and even then, you outrange us, but at least we’re better against other things at longer ranges
If they add IRST cueing then C-1 v C-5, both 9M will be fine. And if eft gets asraam, F-22 should get 9X since it’s worse apparently
Not even then, cause we know the ARH missiles are limited to 16km seeker turn on, but maybe that will be lifted with AMRAAM-C. As a result F22 will be even harder to kill if high as it can dump and run. We will need equal fire off range first for similar BR aircrafts, so F22 only has big advantage in down tier.
yeah, I do want IRST ARH launces, they’ve put the feature on the shelf for now, like they’ve said they’re aware of it and they just don’t want to add it yet
I think most estimates put modern radar detection range about 36km.

Then F-22 is perfect for justifying it’s addition. Win win
the 16km limit should be gone by the time we get the really long-range ARH missiles, or at least you’d like to think
With the radar reflectors on :P
Like I said, I have nothing against its eventual addition, just not within the next year and a half at least
honestly, f22 should not come at all for now as no weapon nor means of detecting it like irst are either in game or well modelled, from my understanding both eurofighter and rafale irst are made to detect such aircraft and i don’t think the point was to detect them at max 20km like in war thunder, first eurofighter and rafale need to be fixed after we can talk about adding plane with that level of stealth.

Then you should be fine with F-15C getting APG-63v3 and BOL to better compete with EFT for the time being?
Fair take tbh
Presumably that’s with AESA, so we’d need a Typhoon with Captor E before we can get that good
Yeah, I would suggest that a better version of the F-15C is fair, did it ever get upgraded engines the C or were they just for the E and EX?
Just strike and advanced eagles unfortunately
