Theres a mode called SAM mode for the ADF
To quote the guy on F-16.net:
But by then the C-model was coming out in big numbers and the A-model’s days were numbered. 15S brought us Situational Awareness Mode (SAM) to the radar… SAM is a Track while search mode that only tracks one target and then searches in between
It seems if they decide to add the SAM mode it could act as a psuedo TWS
it’s 12.7, fym
The ADFs and MLU are at 12.7 currently, not 13.0. The F-16 ADF and MLU w/ AMRAAMs wouldn’t be overpowered. We see this with the F-16A OCU at 13.7, where it is one of the worser 13.7s because it’s a F-16A Blk 15 with fictional AMRAAMs. There’s no way the F-16 ADF/MLU will go to 13.7.
Very cool!
As for how it’d change its BR- not at all. Its still a sucky radar at 13.3.
True but it would make it less sucky :D
If that clip existed I promise you I would’ve seen it, I’ve been looki hm for evidence myself for a long time now. So far the only evidence to suggest the R-73 could be used by a tomcat is the fact it was at some point planned for integration on the F-14AM testbed. It seems nothing came of it however, and the Fakours and their export variants were the only missiles successfully tested on tomcats, even the R-27s couldnt be used.
r-73s would be more real on that tomacat than the r-27 tho
didnt Iran manage to integrate the r-73 on their Phantoms?
All I could find was a deleted youtube video, link doesn’t work anymore. Whether it actually had it or not in the video I’m not even sure. Not something I’m super interested in though, I’ll take my loss
Technically no, because that missile was at least tested and proven to be. Although it was incompatible, it’s a much more real addition than the R-73 on it which would be completely fictional. It can’t even use the proper rails for it.
Yes, they also integrated it onto their F-5s. They’re not F-14s though.
my point is that the interface of the F-4 and F-5 is probably pretty similar to the one in the F-14
so if they managed to do it on the F-4, they could have done it for the F-14 as well
there was probably some other reason to why it didnt happen in the end
but it is just speculation
Type 90 and TKX get better apfds?
What about old planes? They often isn’t playable now… More of them have wrong statistic of flight. For example: FJ-4B have 39m/s climb not 35m…
mbt on higher br isn’t good too, good gun with terrible handling…
What about errors like Sho’t Kal Dalet have 76mm of upper armor… (Gimmel have 130mm). Why slow Israel paper centurions are on 8.7 - 9.0…
And it also has no smoke against CAS.
The reason why Im guessing they are 13.3, is that ontop of a weaker radar, less CMs and no HMD. They dont get Aim-9Ms/Aim-9Li. Meaning no IRCCM.
Good:
Finally, Ayit gets uptiered. I have more than 1000 vehicles and that one might be the most OP thing I played.
Bad:
14.0 to 14.3? That’s too little decompression.
Most of the ground BR changes are complete nonsense.
This document: https://invenio.bundesarchiv.de/invenio/direktlink/735639fb-9668-4528-bf49-24de47a5dfc1/ states in attachment A (starting page 32) that the Tiger E has 700 HP at 3000 RPM and the Tiger B (Tiger 2) has 750 HP at 3000 RPM (dated 09.02.44 and 18.09.44), therefor the engine power of the tigers should at least stay the same
Bug report it when the patch releases. The only way unfortunately.
In your other thread, you mentioned the Tiger II (H) sla 16. However, it does not have the Maybach petrol engine that they want to nerf here, but a diesel engine. So there is no danger for you, just a completely nonsensical and unnecessary action that is directed against all users of the Maybach HL 230.
Basically, this would then also affect all Panthers, the Tiger H1, the Jagdpanther, the Jagdtiger, the Sturmtiger and even the ARL 44, because they all used the same engine…
Nope, not while Britain has it
I mean of course, your using as reference the F-15J(M), an F-15C counterpart, not the F-15E. However, even if you were using the F-15E as comparison, your anecdotal experience is not under any circumstance valid for a raw performance comparison, given that skill and playstyle is involved aswell.
R-77-1s are not better than AIM-120 at anything other than straight line range. It loses energy way faster upon maneouvering and is more draggy. in general the AIM-120 it is a better missile for mid range fights just by the sheer speed bleed of the 77-1.
So, while 30SM has more missiles, it should be easier to score hits with the F-15E by mantaining speed and altitude to lob them at the fire ball. And thus, both fighters are comparable, and with them, their BRs.
likely yes, even tough the information is newer than the dirver manual used for the nerf (driver manual is from 01.09.44 while this document has tiger b parts from 18.09.44)
