It always was like that in raw charts but the moment it has to turn R-77 starts heavily bleeding speed.
I think you’re confusing it with R-77-1. The R-77-1 had better time-to-target with non-maneuvering targets while bleeding speed with maneuvering targets.
But the AIM-120A always had better time-to-target than the R-77 with non-maneuvering targets. It’s just now the R-77 has better time-to-target than AIM-120A. The switch happened.
People always forget the aura factor. F-22 mogs the hell out of the F-35. Any advantage in technical capability is overshadowed by the fact the Raptor is beautiful to the point of art.

The most boring basic jet after the F-16 :p
If you ask me this is fairly ridiculous…

Only called basic due to the popularity it earned

F22 is literally the only 5th gen+ (so including 6th gen) fighter that I don’t find ugly
tbh I think the F22 is kinda boring, the F35 has a more defined shape instead of just smooth edges.
overall I think all 5th gens are boring to look at and 4.5gen is where its at

at least 5th gens kinda looked different 6th gens almost all look the same and are so boring
Yeah, 5th gens are still somewhat good looking, but nowhere as close as 4/4.5 gens in general.
6th gens are just flat, ugly pancaked jets.

It peaked with earlier 4th gen in 70’s and early 80’s, 4.5 don’t even look like real planes just ugly triangle.
From front they look like catfish (eft), chipmunk with mouth full of acorns (Rafale) or just plain ugly (Gripen, J-10, Lavi)
4.5gen do look good tho? and are all pretty visually distinct, 4th gens are pretty cool but I still think 4.5th gen had the most diverse looking options
Oh, they introduced the AShM RNG thing there too.
The middle aim thing was highly inaccurate for Kormorans and Penguin missile (when got introduced) and always aiming the funnels. So it got changed.
But instead of just sliding the aim to surface level + one meter in Y axis, they just added RNG.
They added that because previously they targeted centre of the model volume and would pretty much alway hit the breach/turret armour
Part 3 soon ?
Ridiculous? Yes
Surprising? No not even remotely.
If they are continuing to give it the wrong missiles that don’t actually fit in the bays then it’s expected of them to do stuff like this.
actually this was unexpected, it’s like a new low, using an entirely different type of engine on a different plane to justify wrong figures
