Can’t shoot at what you can’t see on radar, what happens when 6 aim 120c and 2 aim9x coming at u from nowhere
You do know that Typhoon radar can actually pick up an F-22 right? Not too mention its IRST.
Even then, Typhoon has 360 MAWS and an ECM suite that even F-22 pilots admitted was amazing during an exercise a few years ago.
If the fight then goes WVR. the F-22 looses

IRST mate
It all depends on distance
Yeah. But if I recall correctly. F-22s piltos admitted that they couldn’t even lock onto a Tyhpoon due to its ECM until they were within about 50km. Which is within range for the Typhoon to start finding the F-22
and that was 10 years ago

F22 does have ir reduction, and the f22 could see the typhoon from farther out,
Ok but how big are warthunder maps
Maybe with the irst yeah, radar I’m pretty sure it’d still be invisible to it at that range
Yeah, euro fighter will probably be better in air rb, but the f22 will own sim. Can’t forget about Supermaneuverability tho, in a duel the f22 would probably win. Luckily for the typhoon I think wt maps are just right for the typhoon to work against the f22
The new radars being fitted currently are designed specifically to counter stealth aircraft iirc. The Gen 5 stealth advantage is being heavily mitigated. And then of course, you have the tempest in development that will make the F-22 look outdated

That is of course ,assuming Gen 5s even get added for exactly that reason, they’d be impossible to actually balance outside of gen 5 vs gen 5 . More than likely the best aircraft you will have is something like the latest versions of the F-15 and F-16

NGAD tho
And both of these we don’t know which one will be better
I’m sure the tempest will be an amazing aircraft but the NGAD simply has way more funding and data from more tests, intelligence about enemy aircraft, and more combat experience.
and will probably end being partially built by BAE. Like the F-35 was
So more money immediately means better
You have no clue how either one will go
No but project funding has a significant effect on the results
Ngl, I think they’d add them without stealth mechanics or artificial stealth (can’t pick them up until x arbitrary km). Stuff like this wasn’t made for video games so they can’t fully simulate stuff like that.
Correct me if I’m wrong but the design was almost all American and they outsourced production to companies from allied countries for mostly political reasons
Not necessarily
