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

Definitely strong at the moment
For 16v16 it’s arguably better than the aesa euro
Definitely on par

Should be 14.7

Thailand also has at least one armed helicopter. But even the others aren’t disarmed, it’s just the H145M (or EC645T2 as it was called when they bought them).

Yep.

According to people in this thread, AESA Typhoon is stronger than the F-15C GE and Rafale and that if the F-15EX was added would still be weaker than the AESA Typhoon. Meaning the Typhoon doesnt need any bug fixes or buffs to remain competitive alongside the F-15EX, Su-35, etc. let alone the current aircraft in-game

Ah, I just remembered this EMBT photomanip I did some years ago (2022, way before AI), so… here we are now!

Stronger than Rafale?
This has got to be a macaroni man take

The only time an AIM-120 carrier will be best of it’s br is if it gets a metric fuckton of AIM-120s

The AESA typhoon would still have the advantage in most flight performance areas, a considerably better radar and considerably better sensors.

The F-15EX would “only” have missile count (likely 12 missiles) and AIM-120D as advantages.

You just like to act like the AESA EFT will be instantly DOA as soon as the F-15EX gets added.

One of them

Though hed probably claim that Rafale with MICA IR and Meteor is weaker than a Tornado and thus needs buffs

Weapons kit is one of if not the most important aspects of a top tier plane nowadays (See:flankers)
If weapons kit isn’t up to par then everything else has to be perfect in order to compensate

And in 16v16, missile count does matter too

Really hope the F-102 gets AIM-26Bs.

They are selective or more like they were and most of recently made camos have tactical markings. This heli had its camo created years ago so lack of these numbers isnt surprising.

Not that I disagree, but it’s not like we are talking about PoBIT levels of kit differences. And if the F-15EX really makes the AESA EFT completely obsolete, like Morvran likes to believe, there is always the simple solution of giving those AIM-120Ds too.

what about AIM-26A
thats the one im hoping for

In terms of the meta, the f15ex will still not be better than rafale, eurofighter, and sm2. The only strength it will have is bvr, due to insane thrust and good missile count. Having Hobs capability is unmatched, and no f15 has that.

It doesn’t make euro obsolete

That kind of claim is a little delusional

Not better than rafale or SM2
But considering how close the GE is to the euro now, it’ll definitely be equal or better

even if the EX got 16 missiles it would be an SM2 sidegrade

well, IRL they could, just using datalink or possibly IRST through pods or ESM

and amraam actually turns IRL unlike in game

Hello is Poland tech tree possible?

True but I doubt they will address this for whatever reason
