I generally agree, but I don’t trust Gaijin to not move the F-15C GE up with the others.
I mean just look at ground.
the 29SMT has a 85° gimbal ingame because that is what it has IRL
and the J-10 has that gimbal limit because they copy pasted the radar from the 29SMT
Thats not the point, the thing is that as far as I know currently if under some circumstances horizontal scan angle becomes more than 90 your radar HUD turns into a circular one, like on SPAAs. Its kind of plane dependent, for instance N001 flankers IMO experience that a lot more than F15/16/18’s.
So they would have to fix/rework that first.
Will gaijin bother? Or will they just C&P? Both are equally possible, some would say its kinda biasd toward the latter.
Also J11B’s case might be applicable. “We dont have 100% certain info on that, so it will be a direct C&P of F15 with 10deg. better gimbals”.
with the difference that the capebilities of the EF and Gripen radar are known
same goes for the Su-35
Not even 3 times, we need maps that are at least 500km in any direction for stealth to have any sort of meaningful effect, especially with newer missiles.
Also just like any modern stuff their modelling will be difficult as hell.
I’ll be interested to see how the Felon’s radar suite is represented, given that it has AESA covering all angles
Assuming that is modeled. I would not be surprised if they came intitially without because that gimball just broke the game engine for some reason.

they surely would break it, we are talking about gaijin here
but they wont straight up not add it

and AIM-120D in testing (against subsonic target even)
we know for a fact that 120D has been tested at least twice (from f15 and f22 iirc), in shots longer than the longest AIM-54 test
Yeah idk chief, no AMRAAM is ever going to compete with Meteor, PL-15 or R37M
well that’s why aim-260 exists. longer range than r-37m while being in a form factor similar to aim 120
Right, but it’s not an amraam is it
it essentially is an amraam without the mid fins
Aim-260 ≠ Aim-120
Different missiles
and it will probably be pretty mid in WT bc not having those fins will reduce manouverabilty
It seems like nothing but a failure so far, following the rejection of Meteor, it’s seen tons of delays and cloudy info.
Currently it’s still not a real thing so i’m taking any and all claims about it being some new US wonderweapon with a handful of salt
yeah for now the US only has the Aim-174 has a really long range option
but it is only found on the super hornet which is less then ideal for BVR
idk what to tell you
when the USAF claims “longest know air to air missile shot”
you know that the shot was at least as long or longer than any other US missile tests and AIM-54 was tested to out around 200km
and later the USAF claimed to have made an even longer shot claiming it as longest amraam shot ever
