Its 1.18 with a weapons and 60% fuel iirc , Fireball has a little more fuel in that report for M1.18 Though less weapons
But with 60%/35 minutes of fuel, full weapons loadout (no tanks) and flying it a straight line for ages highest I hit in game was Mach 1.14-1.15. So its missing around Mach 0.3-0.4 mach speed at sea level. if im correct about that config ( was a while ago)
Trying out 2x 9Ls and 45 mins fuel. It just barely reaches M1.17 and it takes ages. Realistically, youd probably only be hitting M1.15 ish most matches as even the slightlest twtich would drop you down. So even going by Fireballs accepted and fixed report, its underperforming by around 0.1-0.3 mach
So like I said. Gunna poke them about it sometime next year. Maybe something further can be fixed in the future. In the meantime. BOL and Phimat can come anytime
People have been asking for a new bracket for the better part of a year.
In the meantime the number of players has basically reduced by half or greater.
If they were going to do it then I think it would have been done by now. Adding two more brackets also just further fractures an already dwindling playerbase.
…or allowing those BR’s to be playable actually draw players back that shied from the SIM mode because their favourite aircraft always were at a disadvantage…
Decemeber to March it didnt have a radar, but could just about solider through matches against the Su-27 and other Typhoons (though Typhoon vs Typhoon combat did get stale)
Then player count dropped in March. Why?
0 Typhoon bug fixes and they added the Su-34 that could easily beat the Typhoon in its current state.
Steady drop off until the next major. Barely any changes once again. Couple with the stagnant and massively outdated nature of top tier ASB and the lack of new maps. I wouldnt be surprised if every single aircraft at top tier had a similar decline bar the Rafale.
With the changes we got recently. You might see an increase again, though the Typhoon Cockpit has a LOT of issues, and I know quite a few are frustrated by those. I know I am.
Anyone looked at the longer term and correlation with major patches (where new FOTM comes fresh in…)?
Anyway, I don’t say adding additional brackets is THE solution for Sim. It’s one of many aspects, some way more important, but maybe less easily solved…
I’m not sure why your graph looks different from mine, but it still shows a drop of more than two thirds, which is the threshold you set for being “abandoned.” It follows the same overall trend as every other aircraft, so using a single statistic in isolation here is misleading.
Ahhh yes the plot doesn’t update as I change vehicles. haha/
The radar issues its been plagued with until recently rendered it practically a WVR only jet. In ASB, a gamemode were radar performance actually matters…
You were screwed. Trying to fight Su-30s were impossible. They would just intercept your AMRAAMs and rain R-77-1s down onto you.
I spent most matches just defending the AF from spawn campers.
