They are comparing a subsonic strike jet and a supersonic fighter, they gotta be a little biased
Cause it has amraams, if we look back historically, German phantoms would constantly violate Swedish airspace thinking Sweden was in NATO, and get their as kicked in dogfighting, and escorted back to NATO airspace, besides all other phantoms besides the Japanese and ICE are the same battlerating as the JA37D
They have 2 f16’s, their f16a has maws, countermeasure pods and aim 9m at 12.3 sorry but it should be 12.7 not 12.3 the 11.3 jets shouldnt have to fight a glorified better f16C
It should really be 12.7, yeah
No
Irl it’s slightly faster without load, in a dogfight they never stood a chance, even with more missiles, and giving the Viggen amraams would balance it, less missiles but better dogfighter, it becomes an even Plainfield, and possibility to add more platforms from Gen 3 that had gen 4 armaments
you think that yak-141 should be higher than f-15a just because of r-73?
Should be the same br, not a single sane person believes the f15a should be 12.3.

still, with 4 hardpoints yak-141 with a loadout of r-77s is 12.3 MAYBE 12.7 material
