Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

On AB sure, but in Dry Thrust EFT will be significantly better than F15E.

Agreed. Hopefully we will see Gripen NG soon

Pretty much the same story with F-2. Will be a monster in 1 circle and somewhat capable in low speed dogfighting but will get out rated by a few already existing airframes (thankfully nobody rates in rb and most full pull with instructor)

I do wonder if Gaijin will ever experiment with Gripen Cs 120 degrees of instantaneous AOA

NGL it’s hard to rate with mouse aim

What is the possibility of Mitsubishi f2 being added in 2025? Is it high or rather low?

Still holding out for the BMD-4M being both a premium and a TT vehicle like the JA37DI was this patch. (Let me cope ok)

T/W is one thing but drag is another and Gripen is simply a lot less draggy than EFT. Not saying it would be better than EFT but T/W just shouldnt be taken as the only factor that matters.

True though I think most don’t even know what rating actually is lol

Thats another large aspect of Gripen people often forget about, its dragless design makes up for its TWR so much that it is by technicality 1:1 TWR

It would be fine… if they fixed Mica… its FM and generally range, it should be on level of amraam… not god damn super temp. But given it will be its main weapon for tons of patches, it will always be BFM jet instead of what it was meant to be.

2025? Very high

This next update? Maybe 50/50, not sure

High, honestly it would be on par if not worse than the leaked vehicles, for example only carriers 4 fox 3s (and 4 fox 2s at the same time) so its bvr will be limited

The VBCI T40 wouldve been hype. It would’ve finally caught france up for IFVs after 5 years of being behind everyone else. But nope they gave us the 25mm variant. So now france is finally at the level of IFV power that most nations were at 2.5 years ago

With how IR signatures are modeled. A high TWR might screw it more than benefit it

I also believe The EF and the Rafale are going to have Flanker syndrome and DUMP speed very quickly due to not being G limited

But unlike them can gain speed quickly through raw power

There is also no real info of it having an HMD. It’s only the radar thats really better but then again, looking at how Gaijin models PESAs I dont thing an AESA would be a problem right now. And the Kfir with the AESA is leaked as an event so they are coming anyways.

If Gajin doesn’t do the funny with modeling and instructor, it should be probably fine.
