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

I’d be fine with weapons being disabled after counting as severely damaged, but that’s it

If ARB had respawns, I’d see no issues with the mechanic at all, but as it stands, only Sim should have it

That is all id ask for.

I got totally screwed yesterday, after killing an Su-30 in a vertical fight. I was left relatively slow, which wouldnt have been an issue, if I didnt need to defend against 3x R-77-1s that got fired at me from an awkard direction, which meant I had no energy to deal with the Typhoon that then dived on me.

It was deeply frustrating

The problem with that is the missiles are real, and they go closer to Mach 3 with active terminal seekers

Not only are those missiles 100% real, mach 2 also isn’t even unusual for anti radiation missiles

The way ground battles work and the tiny maps with very little to no proper cover (plus a general lack of room to maneuver a lot of the time) turns (H)ARMs into a hard counter against anti air

Anti air already is at a huge disadvantage against CAS, there is absolutely no need to give CAS the ability to basically stun-lock anti air

What does it say about rear aspect jamming capability?

Per the slides all of the electronic attack is using the AN/APG-81 fixed plate AESA for ingress jamming.

(that’s a No)

Gotcha, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything, but that does line up.

Yeah the reason being is emitters aren’t great for stealth. You can get away with construction angles such as AN/APG-81 and 79 are mounted at +30° to help with that but for the distributed jammers found on planes like Rafale, Typhoon and other 4++ jets would comprise the stealth somewhat.

“The meeting focused on discussing general defence cooperation relations, including strategic dialogue, strengthening communication between defence institutions, and opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields in the long term,” defence ministry spokesperson Brigadier General Rico Ricardo Sirait told Reuters, adding the talks had not yet led to concrete decisions.

One source said the talks revolved around the sale of JF-17 jets, a multi-role combat aircraft jointly developed by Pakistan and China, and killer drones designed for surveillance and striking targets. The other two sources said the talks were in an advanced stage and involved more than 40 JF-17 jets. One of them said Indonesia was also interested in Pakistan’s Shahpar drones."
