so it should all just be a jumbled mess of western and eastern equipment, with countries like US and Russia only getting one? if thats how its gonna be, shouldnt US and Russia get best stuff of each respective sphere of influence since they will probably be limited to their respective ones?
maybe, but it outright cannot be better than on a PESA since an -ESA radar will always scan faster than a mechanical one
- MULTIPLE countries are already a jumble of equipment including China already, so that argument is standing on nothing
- U.S. and Russia have so much domestic unique equipment that it does not matter.
Will there be the early first made UAV for ground vehicles like Britain? It’s basically the de haviland queen bee target drone
If top tier does get bumped up to 14.0/14.3, I’d love to see the Mig29’s get R73 and a bump up to 13.0.
F-15C Baz Meshupar*, the F-15C Akef isn’t ingame yet. And the Baz Meshupar already had HMD, however it was “missing” Radar had due to the radar model gaijin gave it. It has since been corrected.
What use would an unmanned target serve?

Because they do have enough vehicles that other nations may never have, one day if Russia or US get Object 195 or F22, would you really hope they can get leopard2a8 or su30?
Kamikaze?
I can’t imagine they had the tech to control it with that kind of accuracy?
be a target
If we’re so worried about that we can just give:
- the F-16C its AN/APG-83
- the F-15C its AN/APG-63(V)2 or (V)3
- the F-15E its AN/APG-82(V)1
This should be more than enough to future-proof US top tier for a long time.
Not to mention, we don’t even know if the EF Typhoon and Rafale are coming with AESA radars. As far as I know, the EF won’t be coming with one, and the Rafale could come with a PESA radar instead. This means the US would still be fine overall, and the AESA radars aren’t 100% necessary yet.
If the EF, Rafale, and F-2 come to the game AND they all have AESA radars then we can start sounding the alarm bells. Until we get any sort of confirmation, the alarm bells can remain silent.

Typhoon wont come with AESA for a while, but CAPTOR-M is one of if not the best mechanical radar in the world. It wont struggle to compete with most AESA radars
Rafale probably will come with AESA, but their early AESA radars werent very good or something
F-2 should come with AESA radar soon.
But to be honest. AESA wont be that big of a deal and isnt suddenly going to make the matches into those with and those without. With current game limiations if you took 2 100% identical aircraft, with identical loadouts and the only difference was AESA vs decent mechanical radars. The AESA equipped aircraft isnt going to automatically win.

since US jets will be outperforming in WVR now even more, shouldnt we get something to let us truly excel in BVR? such as the jets you listed with their respective radars
eurofighter typhoon has a very good M-scan radar, compounded with rafale PESA, id say its maybe not 100% necessary but like 85-95% necesary for AESA
F-2 wont be as much of a game changer as itll only really be good because of its AESA radar
not early AESA radars, their AESA radars in general arent good lol
I wouldn’t put it that high, more like 40-50%. The F-15C, F-16C, and F-15C are all already extremely good in BVR. They have fantastic radars, very good flight models, and the best BVR missile in the game.
The Eurofighter will be the only plane that will contest that next patch, but I doubt it would surpass the F-15E in BVR - rather match it.
Edit: If they were to add AESA radars to the US planes it wouldn’t do very much either way. They’re fine with or without them.

if it matches it in BVR, and also exceeds it in WVR by a good margin, then shouldnt E get a better radar to bring back the BVR advantage but let EFT have WVR advantage?
It already will hold the advantage in having potentially double the number of AMRAAM and CMs that work.
