Oh I agree, but the EFT’s good performance and incredible ease of doing well in it also means we’ll likely have to wait a good while for an AESA EFT.
well yeah that’s the only reasonable way it could be implemented because afaik the F-22 can get over mach 2 easily
why? gaijin JUST said they’re planning on adding E-Scan aircraft to all trees that don’t have one before 5th gen planes show up
probably wont be the best dogfighter either
imagine tghe current f-15e but with TVC
the F-22 still weighs around 19 tons
Also I’d like to see a reliable source for that because my quick research has led me to very heterogenous results

Im thinking it will be good, maybe the increased thrust will counter it out.
Also, I forgot where I found it but it takes 10 seconds to do a 180 at favorable speeds (I think it was .6 mach)
Just keep in mind I have no clue about really any of this and I’m just reading.
it will not, it has a worse TWR than the leagacy hornet
Well afaik the Superhornet is less agile than the hornet, its whole point is more payload and bring back capability as well as greater range and altitude, so it really will be worse in a turn fight
It’s just heavier, and the engines don’t make up for that

Yeah and they gave nearly a year, maybe even longer, as the timeframe.
And the EFT nations would be pretty low on the list of trees that need an AESA fighter.
Still, I hope I can dogfight decently in it
uhm this is what the US had to say about the super hornet

it’s essentially an interdictor like the Tornado or MiG-27 , just 20 years newer

It will likely still pull decently, but it will just fall out of the sky after a couple turns.

but that’s what he said?
and to top all that up, the super horny does not even achieve it’s goal of extending the hornet ranges because a legacy hornet can do the same as a super hornet with a larger droptank

That’s worse than I thought lmao, the superhornet really is a disappointment to everyone it seems
So it only gets range and a bit more payload
Yeah that thing will only be fine for strike
the worlds best sold disappointment

Then how about the f15ex (is it even coming?) and how could of a dogfighter would it be
