Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

wait really

The C might beat an F/A-18E in slow speed because of the bigger wings, but the A dunks on the F-16 in AoA and can beat it when both have their respective A2A loadouts

It’s the only one I’ve observed to not be there out of the modern trailers I know of, quite strange

Nah you’re not gonna add Storm Warning in there like we wouldn’t notice

From what I’ve heard its less in between the two and more like an F16 that can pull more AoA, up to 50 deg. Though these are just things i’ve heard in interviews with pilots. Nothing concrete. It does have a much better twr than the F18e though, its closer to the F16. Also the F16 only beats the F35 in a dogfight if its slick. again according to interviews with pilots. no idea how true it is.

Yeah, A/B basically has the best of both worlds; F-16’s speed and acceleration, F-18’s agility.

So not bad at all, but still a long shot from F-22; which is why I think we will be seeing F-35s before F-22.

All of this, of course, with a lower RCS! (unless carrying those external pylons, which are tempting).

yeah that one was trash to me because immediately before the update came out i was talking about it being to soon for the eurocanards and I’m pretty sure the developers did it to spite me.

A is the best by far. C is only good in low speed but it’s a carrier fighter and it’s perfectly good at that. The B is by far the worst for flight performance but at least it’s VTOL

The IR missiles ones are stealthy as well. So it’s not a huge effect on RCS

its like limited 7.g aint it how is that normally modeled in game i cant recall

thanks!
any source for that?

…and if I were to guess;

F-35A > F-16 line
F-35B > Harrier line
F-35C > F-18 line

F-15EX > F-15E line

?

the missile probably isnt to be fair

They made a low observable 9X iirc

ill add i believbe f15edx to the f15c line and e late to the f15e line rank 10 being obviously like stealth so f35’s and 22 with the pobit coming before the f35 a

F22 after the F15 and you’ve got the infinity gauntlet of stealth.

Oh! So you can use the internal bays for 120s, then have two external 9Xs on pylons without ruining it? Interesting!

I really hope they do that

And don’t forget the F22 :)), it should be place after the golden eagle

The missiles themselves would still compromise your rcs though by how much is debatable.

it makes sense unless they change the lines cause the ex is multirole and literally there to replace the f15c in air defense last i checked(pls correct me if im wrong) t just built upon the f15e airframe.
