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

If you say so chief, however if it was indeed the best then it wouldn’t be the Rafale deciding matches
The Eurofighter is very much the best FM but lacks in the missile department given the nature of Air RB currently, the radar still has barely been touched since the patch and is still very much underperforming and finally it lacks any form of far off-boresight capability so your HMD is functionally useless outsight of an easy of use while slaving the radar

I googeled it and its a American vs British english thing but both are correct

It’s an inherently british term to say ‘spilt’ over spilled, and often doesn’t come across when learning english as a second language

I haven’t played EFT, but from videos and data mine, I think it’s not so bad? or at least, it’s data is not bad, the main problems are datalink pulled away by missiles and lock switched to IR. Datalink is a commin problem for any radar with high detection capability, we can only wait gaijin fix this with extra game logic.
switched to IR problem, I’m not so sure, but seems a problem in lock ability, and recently gaijin buffed this, not sure if it’s improved.

When will people learn to ignore Alvis

The insane thrust of the Typhoon alone makes it amazing. I’ve sometimes accidentally reached 1800km/h and even once breached 2000 without noticing.

It’s better than everything else by a relatively large margin, however the Rafale just has a more META kit (for air rb anyways) and this isn’t changing until they add the actually decent Fox-2s to the Eurofighters

what’s this

Back to my originial point, I see no point giving China a mediocre jet when they could instead receive an amazing one (all due to the radar)

ASRAAM when?

The J-11B would not be mediocre.

MICAs, 180* HMD, AESA radar all make it more usable in every sense besides BVR

it’s an F-15C equivalent, not a Eurofighter one

So the F-15C is mediocre now?

Also, PL-8Bs.

well, it can be good. since 1493 is one of the best non-esa radar, but another “one of the best non-esa radar”, as I know, is Captor

It is bad compared to the RBE2

MICA fits better for the current meta, as the AIM-120 is effective only in medium and long range engagements, where anyone can notch and simply evade your missiles

Personally can’t stand BVR jets, super boring to play but when played correctly it’s above average at top tier, not amazing

35gs allows it to be quite effective in closer range engagements, actually. Not being able to pull 180 degree turns doesn’t mean it’s bad at those ranges.

which is why i’m not confident that gaijin won’t just C&P the J-10A’s radar with a higher range stat and call it a day, forcing them to model a new radar is the only way to avoid the myriad of bugs and headache that comes with the bug reporting process

the worst in ARH, but still better than almost every SARH.
