I’m quite surprised at the low comment frequency in this thread this time
we’re already in Possible devblog territory and have neither rached part 2 nor is there constant discourse about a currently controversial topics
have we actually reached discipline?
on that topic, now that both Falcon types are in game, is someone besides me expecting more Falcon carriers to be added this Major? (hopefully alongside Submarines)
I could say something along the lines of B and S to scare a particular mod : P
No. Absolutely not.
Everyone is either sleeping or at work
Or finding leaked documents to post : P
kinda been shoved into its on thread for once
Guess we’ll have to wait and see if Gzsabi gives us something else to whinge about ig
I’m doing both ill have you know. I’m just being payed for doing it atm lol
What is this magical power of sleep ?
laughs in works nights + weekends
Ill think you’ll find Im debating the merits of ice cream for breakfast and looking for another FV101 image to post in the wish listing thread
anyway speaking of work I need to get myself ready cya all later peeps
I worked in my spare time and now I have time spare at work that I can’t use to game because the master Seargent keeps walking around the hallway checking up on us
this is why I’m now looking into the J-35J which keeps looking more and more realistic as an addition for this major
This is just the purgatory stage of the update cycle, a bit of news last week but now nothing. I’m guessing we will be waiting until the end of the week for some more news.
side fact: I’d pre-order U-96 if submarines get early CBT acess this major
They still wont be competitive though and that to me is the main issue the Russian, Chinese and US mains will have.
A Typhoon and Rafale are still superior to an F-15EX in terms of flight performance alone.
But then the F-22 just destroys top tier balance, the US is in a really difficult spot.
reminder that an Early F-22 doesn’t have an HMD and can’t go Supersonic if it wants to keep it’s stealth
it also carries less missiles than the rest
it would be on par at best with late Gen 4.5+ planes like a Tranche 4 EFT with AESA and AiM-120C8 or METEOR or IRIS-T (or all of them)
Sure…
Did you took your medics?
I think it would be more likely for the F/A-18D to be foldered with the C. It would be pretty much identical except for being heavier leading to a worse flight performance.
Another option for that line would be an upgraded AV-8B+ with AIM-9X and AIM-120C and possibly HMD. (I remember seeing something about HMD being ordered for the AV-8B+ that was set to keep them in service until 2029 but not sure if that ever got finished since they are now planned to be retired in 2027).
Stealth is genuinely going to be much weaker than people expect it to be.
Unless you’re at the perfect angle compared to others most 4+ gen aircraft with modern AESA’s are still going to pick you up from 30-40+km away, and since we’ll probably see the introduction of next gen IR missiles aswell it really makes no difference.
not to mention modern IRST systems
I had my coffee yes
why do you think a cool looking American aircraft thats just as old as the EFT is so much better than it?
