Doesn’t seem like Relict is considered an issue. -A3’s IOC milestone was reached in 2003, Relict entered service ~2006, -A4 turns up in 2014, its introduction wasn’t rushed.
So, doesn’t mean they don’t have sensors, Kinematic ranging and Kalman filters most certainly exist and Angle only contacts have been able to be shot at for neigh on 6 decades at this point.
Do you remember what happened with the TOW-2B? The wholesale removal of the S-13DF, Stingers being “similar” to the Igla, Su-25 surviving 21 Stingers.
I’d always rather take 6x AIM-9s than the waste of space that was the Darters on the inner pylons - simply due to the Gripen’s ability to beat up anything at shorter ranges.
Reserve is race cars with autocannons, the bulk of the tech tree is high pen APHE from stock unlike US, their captured premiums all work better by not having to face said ammunition and Leopards have never not been excellent vehicles
The funny thing is, the F-16s were already the better performing jets against their mig-29 counterparts
Whilst the Su-27s lost to the F-15A/C/Es for the longest. Shall we remind you of the fox 3 meta release for how dominant F-15C/E were respectively before the rafale and Eurofighters came and started dominating both russia n america?
Only recently did the su30s arrive in april and still can not beat the nato jets such as eurofighters or rafales.
Lack of decent fm is the main issue; but im fine with how the Su-30 has been implemented, i also do not mind if they take away 2 missiles from it. I think it was unnecessary to give it that many missiles.
But no way is it beating a eurofighter or Rafale. In 1v1s or 4v4s or 16v16s of full one jet sided match ups
Yep at the time F-15As were 13.0 while su27s went upto 13.3s(when Fox3 jets came out) . And before that being 12.7 while russian su-27s were 13.0 before the first br compression for that time i think
Always being a step lower favoritism to American jets
Mig 29 12.7 vs F16A 12.3, f16A wins in every regard bar SARH as it doesn’t have one.
.Mig29 smt vs the objectively better block F16ADF is it ? Sitting at 13.3 with aim120s, as well as far as im aware a better radar.
Su27 got dogged on until very recently, the su27sm was too fat and R77s weren’t comparable with the range of 120s.
The su30 actually brought it back a bit and im working towards it to see how it actually is.
