Gonna be real with you, the EFT has leagues better flight performance, speed, systems, and only loses on the radar. So yes its a minimal buff for a .7 increase essentially imo, its a late addition

I sitll dont understand the arguement, the Typhoon is already artificially nerfed in pretty much every singel respect. Why does it need to be fighting F-22s and co just to get AESA? Something its direct equivalent has had for 12 months?

Its gonna be fighting F22’s just like the Finnish F-18C which is the worst 14.0 lol, thats just compression at its finest but to ignore every other advantage the EFT has over the GE is silly
Where did I say that?
The F-15C GE is mediocre because it’s a 13.7 plane that is only 14.3 for a radar that is barely functional only with todays update.
The EFT has the F-15C GE beat in every way besides radar, so yeah a AESA EFT would be unbalanced at the same BR as the F-15C GE. Hell it would be unbalanced at the same BR as almost all the planes I meantioned before except for the Rafale.
Sorry that this doesn’t suit the Britain suffers agenda, but the EFT is the last plane at top tier to need a buff currently.

Then I guess no Gripen E and delete the Rafale.
Would be unfair on the F-15C GE that others get AESA
We know, Still trying to get hte correct ammo in the gun,. But alas, that would be too OP.
Or our HUD unsquished
or UV coating

Gripen E will likely not even be close to the AESA EFT lmao.
But I guess Britain does truely suffer.

AESA + Gimball.
Its about as close as you can get.
Yeah, we know. Its against the TOS to get anything at the same time as anyone else. Well hopefully we’ll get the HUD fixed around the time of the 6th gens

I mean Britain will get the AESA EFT at the same time as everyone else except France (for some reason) also gets a somewhat close counterpart to it.
I guess it’s only balance when your nation gets to be on top.
Idk you just got the hawks all to yourself so isnt that not true? Also its not a britain specific issue lol, even sweden and italy have more times where they lacked a top tier fighter than britain lol
and the soviets, and japan, and the US, and by the sounds of it Sweden and China and maybe Israel (if you dont count the Kfir C10)
If we have to wait another year for AESA, we had better get AMK
And which of these nations have AESA EFT counterparts?

Which are basically DOA unfortunately. Niche and cool, but hardly a gotcha
There only real saving grace was GRB, but they are substantially weaker than their direct equivalents in terms of CAS and A2A.
Su-34/Su-30SM, F-2, F-15C GE. All have ESA?
I dont really get why exclusively the Typhoon is being balanced via artifically nerfed M-Scan.

Ah so it’s fine that these nations will have way worse aircraft because they have a similar radar??
Ah there is the nation main Morvran_ I used to know. Like I said:
Yes because its been fun not having a 14.3 fighter for a year. Yay, by the time sweden gets one this will be the third time they finally catch up for top tier air
J35D (10.7) vs FGR2, F4E and Mig21 (11.0)
JA37D (12.0) vs F16A and Mig 29 (12.7)
Gripen C (13.7) F-18C (14.0) vs EFT/Rafale (14.3)
Poor britain they never get to have top tier air…
Yes they had a moment but lets not pretend like they are the worst air tree lmao

so hyped for firing fox3s while notching thanks to the swashplate+AESA
Look dude, I get it, you are biased against the Typhoon. But the devs said AESA is coming to all. So unless you can come up with AESA alternatives for Germany, Italy AND Britain, the Typhoon WILL be getting AESA.
I Know you’ll also be against Typhoon getting ASRAAM and IRIS-T when they are added, but I hate to break it to you, Aim-9M vs P5, Aim-9X, Iris-t etc etc is not balanced and the so the Typhoon would get those too.
I get it, you want to artifcially nerf the Typhoon, but its underperforming in every single respect at the moment, heck the German one doesnt even have the right name currently. So give up dude, AESA is coming to the Typhoon sooner rather than later whether you like it or not. Hopefully with some other buffs too, like FM fixes, CM fixes, loadout buffs, etc etc

@Morvran Gripen E without Arexis EW will only be a current EFT counterpart. A worse Gripen in dogfighting but better acceleration and speed (compared to a gripen C) are the only flight model benefits.
With EW it should be on par with later jets but its a glorified bus as it stands without Arexis.
