Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

That is quite a big range lol? From what I see with 9 tonne per engine it should be something like 1.5-1.6 empty right? Considering the 11 tonne or so empty weight.
Rafael slightly less 7.5 per engine and 10 tonnes of weight. So around 1.4, similar to J10 and JAS39.

Yep, which is why I dont mind it coming later for Britain, but at hte same time. Typhoon vs Tornado Gr4 would suck for CAS performance if we had to wait a year+.

At a minimum though, Gr7 and Gr4 could both get some long overdue buffs to keep Britain going, especially as CAS is basically the only thing carrying Britain at top tier GRB at the moment

Yeah, some sources say 1.15 with a weapons load but i’ve also seen 1.4 mentioned I think. So im not sure, either way, it is a positive TWR and can reach supersonic on dry heat.

The important thing to note is that the 60kn or 90kn on reheat of the EJ200 is the static thrust.

Sotra? More like all nations should have tags, and not just sub-trees.

Ex: the modern UK would have(as far as I know):

  • Commonwealth
  • NATO

Or the US:

  • NATO
  • NORAD

Just what GRB needs… Another top tier with 50+ km range weapons that can’t be countered by any anti air

EDIT: In case you have doubts, this was addressed in latest CM Covert Disclosures

Q: In Ground Realistic Battles, top attack aircraft are capable of dominating ground vehicles for the most part. Are there any plans to do something about this in 2025?

A: According to our data, the balance at the top ranks of ground battles is noticeably shifted towards aviation and helicopters, and this balance has become even worse with the introduction of top aircraft this year. The situation where aircraft can attack tanks from a safe distance with impunity makes gameplay more boring for aviation and less fair for ground vehicles, a similar situation is with helicopters equipped with long-range fast ATGMs, or “fire-and-forget” ATGMs.

To counter these types of threats, more powerful systems are needed that have the ability to fire at several targets at once and a wide search sector in both azimuth and elevation. The most advanced SAM system currently presented in the game only partially meets these requirements, so we’ll move towards heavier systems for all nations, including those components of which are located on several chassis. Of course, we’ll have to solve the problem of controlling these types of SAM systems, but we’re already having thoughts on the matter.

In turn, there are plans to add new capabilities for aircraft. And while we do not consider anti-radiation missiles (ARM) a priority and necessity, more advanced capabilities of ESM from on board an aircraft, i.e. more accurate determination of the active radar position, are in our fairly close plans.

Yeah, depends on modelling, JF17 could do 110 kN in game despite stating 66 static.

Needs : properly not
Nice to have : Yes
Likelihood : Depends on gaijin mood
community : Why Britain asking the world again ?

It’s French

Doesn’t matter if it’s French

Likelihood -100%

Never say never with gaijin

I don’t want to get the hopes up though, well Gaijing can indeed add it nerfed, but yeah.

Gajin nerf Safran AASM Hammer (AASM/D & AASM/M) like Brimstone ?

But I had a hunch about this 🤔

I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a more limited version then germany and italy (like when the tornado IDS came out)

So long as it doesnt have Rb199 engines and the A2A loadouts are equal, then it will be fine.

on what line would typhoon come at?

Good point, never thought of that, after Tornado likely. (Air tornado)

For Britain. Typhoon F2 likely after the Tornado F3 Late as its an interceptor and thats the interceptor line.

Typhoon FGR4 likely after the Gripen C as its multirole and thats the multirole line

Germany, Probably after the ICE

Italy Probably after the F-16A ADF but could be the Tornado ADV

You need all of them to get the Typhoon!
