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

Well but that’s a technology demonstrator, so it would actually be a stretch, is like giving Typhoon EAP loadouts.

I mean if they accept the double pylon for asraam/irst and the ability to carry amraams on the inner wing pylon i would say it is not an stretch.

Typhoon =/= EAP

Well, then it’s still okay. In terms of the number of missiles, the j-10b will be similar to the EF-2000. It’s just a pity that the EF-2000 has strong aim 120, and the j-10b have weak pl-12

You mean twin EFT pylons?

Equally on that note Rafale A =/= any production Rafale.

There were also massive changes from Rafale A to the production standards.

SAAF Gripen C never carried AGM-65G or R-Darter or AIM-9M

French Mirage 2000-5F never used HMD or 8 missile loadout or any AG2 munitions…

There are many examples of such so the fact that only Spain used these pylons doesnt rule them out for other operators in game

From my experience of using PL-12 they seem like very good missiles, similar to AMRAAM but higher G and shorter range, they work very well with the J-10A radar which is weak at range but has 85 degree side to side view angle

In radar missiles, the launch range is crucial. I directly feel my helplessness when aim 120 from 30 kilometers are flying at me, and I need to fly at least 20 to launch

Its only been photographed on a spanish eft but all nations selected it so all will get it.

This would work if the Rafale A wasn’t (like the EAP) primarily a proof of concept aircraft with an almost completely different airframe.

Tbf that may just be a matter of play style, I only launch from further than about 10km if I’m using the missile to make someone defend and for that it still works fine. The J-10A fit’s my playstyle much better than the F-15E does though so for me it is the better aircraft even if consensus is that the F-15 is better

If Pzh 2000 gets added before this to WT it’d just be hilarious

Wespe would be lovely too

What’s the difference between gbu54 and gbu54v1/b ?

Not to say. I enjoy playing the Mirage 2000, I like it better than the j-10a. Mica are wonderful rockets, what kind of overloads they give out, some kind of magic. And there are a lot of CM
