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

Most TVC and Lifting body missiles do iirc

Thats also likely a big factor then if I had to guess

yeah, but it’s not going to make up for a .6 twr difference. It’s just too massive of a difference.

We’ll have to wait and see until DEV but there is no scenario where the gripen should be outperforming a typhoon

The FCS lets the Eurofighter pull at least 12G, and the airframe should be able to survive more than that. It is stressed for 9G at 100% internal fuel; so that 13.5 g once multiplied by 1.5, and even more if you take less fuel.

TFW when Russia’s highest tier TT IFV is 9.0 (lowest of any nation)

Which means it will bleed more speed the harder it pulls

And also one of the best in game

It does more then you think

The post is about a comparison with the Gripen, which will probably lose more speed than Eurofighter (it has much less thrust and a worse TWR).

The BMP-3 is definitely good but doesn’t make up for the lack of IFVs higher than 9.0 in the tech tree.

While ofc this is true the Gripen also doesnt pull as hard (even though it could but Gaijin and their unnecessary Gripen nerfs) and not to mention again the drag is significantly less on Gripen

The issue with Gripen vs typhoon, is that any engine short of the one in the F-35A will lead to having an inferior TWR to the typhoon

I wanted a BMD-4M after sprut tbh but gaijin has other plans it seems

Another thing that seems to be being forgotten is we’re likely getting the earliest Typhoon possible which has the “weakest” Eurojets no?

I don’t think there is a single person in the world who wanted it as a premium.

I really hope the premium pzh2000 is for italy or preferably benelux. Not giving germany its most iconic modern vehicle in the tech tree would be criminal.

The gripen will take the role that the block 10 f-16A has, which is a capable light fighter but with worse AoA and energy than the typhoon (as the f-16a is to the current gripen)

To be honest, I do not believe that China will be given both J-10B and J-11B at once. Judging by the subject of the update (canards), it is more likely to add J-10B . Of course, I want to believe in the J-11B, and to be honest, it seems to me a little more interesting (I’ve just never flown on good Flankers), but it’s unlikely that it will be added in this update. It is more likely that it will be in the first update 2025, along with some su30sm.

I’m saying J-11B tonkeep up with the BVR Meta since itnhas more PL-12s and a better radar (if type 1493 is added and not a PESA)
