Don’t see the logic behind thinking that heavier plane = more compression? F-16 is a very light fighter and compresses like a brick at high speeds.
good point
Y’all are just gonna complain about having too few missiles lmao
Pretty much because the Flankers overperform at high speed
nah im completely fine with 8 missiles if the stealth is modeled well
There’s also the fact that current stealth modeling is EXTREMELY basic and unfinished in the game.
i know it can even take 4 missiles on the wings but idc too much about that
yea which is why i expect something big to change by the time the f22 and f35 come
F-22A can carry 10 AIM-120’s (6 internal 4 external) with 2 9M/X. That’s enough IMO
The external ones should wreck the stealth, if Gaijin is actually gonna put any effort into modeling stealth properly
yea thatll be the tradeoff, get more missiles but youll have worse stealth
Unless ARB changes from 16v16 and small maps, stealth will have like no meaning. I’d personally much rather have the extra 4 missiles and be more effective in the match to help my team win.
and im fine with that, sometimes ill wanna be a missile bus, sometimes ill wanna play it stealthy
i enjoy bvr so id likely prefer stealth most of the time, fire all your missiles before anyone can shoot back, land and rearm with 12 missiles
I did also noticed that but isn’t it the WM-23 cockpit unless it’s something else for like the Hawk 1 ?
12 irl, 16 with mrml, 22 with hypothetical ambers
Based on what??? The F-15EX has additional pylons over previous F-15s, it gets 4 more amraams. If the GE gets the mrml, why in the world would the EX not get them?
Stealth isn’t gonna be that big of a deal either way
Like you’ve said, the current state of ARB makes stealth ia nothing-burger
ive been wondering if those outside wing pylons can also take mrml, if so that would be awesome
i think youre forgetting that even in shorter ranges, not being able to hmd lock can be life or death
