Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

ITR is better , STR is slightly worse but i don’t think it will be noticeable.

It’s worse by around 1.2 degrees clean, and considering how bad the normal fa18c is already the e is doa

AIM-174 might be its only hope. but i doubt those will come

where do u see the 1 degree difference in STR ?.

There’s other charts, I posted a ton of them in another thread, I’ll link them

Check this post and the post I posted after this one

I wonder how well an AiM-174 fired from an Essentially Sub sonic platform will accelerate Compared to even an AMRAAM fired from a Eurofighter going Mach 1.4

lets make it short: I doubt that missile will be fast enough to survive that Standoff

The one we have in game is already considered a T3 even though gaijin calls it a T2 but it’s already up to the highest standards, when it comes to A2A and A2G.

T1, T2 and T3 don’t have Captor-E as of now (T1 can’t be updated to refit AESA iirc), Captor-E is standard requirement in T4, so most nations already replacing T1 with T4 and some like Germany are moving with replacing the Captor-M with Captor-E on their T2 and T3.

Not very close what we have is up to the highest standards for an EF at the moment we have a T3 sanders with all currently available phase enchantments available at the time.

I’m actually looking forward to the Attempt at replacing Captor E on our Tranche 2/3 aircraft

everyone in the Avionics team is interested in how tf they want to pull that off

Why would an AIM-174 equipped super hornet fire at the same time as a AMRAAM plane?

I’m sure when they add aim 174 they’re gonna add other nations equivalents, so they won’t be firing AMRAAMs. It will be meteors for eu and r37m for Russia and china. Although really the r37m is the only equivalent of it, meteor pales in comparison

Context, that guy is in a Liftwaffle

Its a really powerful surface-to-air missile being launched from an airplane.
I think it’d be just as good as an AMRAAM launched from the Typhoon.

Wouldn’t China’s thing be the PL-17?

Germany Spain can do that bc ECRS MK1 doesn’t need a changes in T2/3 since it doesn’t use the same a mount of power that’s needed for the MK2, so they can refit it without changing the wiring or the power systems in the aircrafts like Mk2 so iirc Mk1 will most likely be a little bit weaker than Mk2 but can do most if not all things an Mk2 can do

because a Missile fired from further away is easier to avoid

and just reading the little info I can find from it suggests that it’s Terminal guidance range isn’t that large after all

being an 800kg missile will surely mean it’ll drain speed quick in tight turns

i think gaijin will add the mig31 with the normal r37 before adding r37m/aim174/pl17 etc.
