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

F22 has a smaller rcs than the f35.

fake

I don’t know if it’s because of the override or if it’s a dlss issue in general but commander sight with thermal is very buggy for me

Meteor would probably be equivalent in kinematics to a Fakour90. So I don’t see why meteor can’t be added alongside Aim120D when Fakour90 is existing right now

Where are you finding these Mythical US Mains and why do we have to hear about it 24/7?

You cannot be serious.

Yes

explain pls

I understand that meteor has a throttleable supersonic ramjet propulsion and has better turn rate but it will have similar energy to a Fakour90

meteor does 100km in 90s.

fakour does 100 in 105 sec.

not same.

If you think the Fakour-90 is similar to the Meteor you lot might be more lost then previously thought to be possible.

The Meteor completely lacks the acceleration the Fakour is known for. It will have almost infinite energy and 2x better pull. These aren’t minor upgrades. The Fakour-90 has the worst seeker or all ARHs. It’s big and has a 3x bigger blast radius comparatively. It’s launched from one of the worst platforms you can have in toptier, compared to the absolute best on the EFT.

They are not comparable and this cope that they can be compared because they’re both BVR weapons is ridiculous.

You must’ve missed the part where I said kinematic performance

Dude saying fakour90 has infinite energy. ???

The F-16XL was handed over to NASA by the airforce around 1988, about 20-30 years at least before AIM-120Ds even existed.

So yeah I doubt that thing is getting added with 120Ds.

As long as it isn’t added to something already stupidly powerful like an AESAphoon or Rafale, sure.

But something tells me the AESAphoon is exactly what you want them on.

I’m in favor of giving eurojets meteor, while giving us aim120d3 aim174, and Russia nothing

Typical, not too unsuprising from a German main.

And your take ?

They aren’t similar still.

The Meteor dude. The Meteor. Lets use our thinking caps; which one has more energy available: The Ramjet made to do that as it’s main purpose or the time limited rocket booster.
