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

ah ok, understood

I’d prefer one of those because they are notably different or better than what we’ve got currently.

R-Class is just a sidegrade HMS Repulse.

Thanks for explaining that to me, bro

For a moment, I was like, Has F-15 been able to carry 12 AMRAAM’s this entire time, and I’ve only been taking 8 like an idiot ?? 😂

tbh the way I see it this is how the jets SHOULD ideally stack up based on what they EXCEL at (not to say they cant do both, this is just their best category)

BVR
1 - Eurofighter Typhoon
2 - J-11B

WVR
1 - Rafale C
2 - J-10B

UK/GER/ITA Typhoons should all be relatively identical in ability this update right?

It’s not going to be a one better / worse than others kind of situation?

For all intents and purposes AESA and PESA are going to be modeled similarly in WT so having PESA itself is akin to having AESA.

Not necessarily.

Same radar, engine, airframe, A2A loadout (though maybe Aim-9M for Britain and Aim-9Li for Italy and Germany)

(well hopefully the same engine and they dont pull a “Britain gets the weaker engine for balancing reasons” like they did with the Tornado IDS)

Italy and Britain will likely have PIRATE (how good that is will remain to be seen). Germany never used it

The big question is A2G. Britain if its the F2, wont have much more than maybe a few BL755 (or placeholder equivalents) but Germany might have GBUs, Italy not sure

fair enough, I just figure AESA is a little more dynamic but that more than likely can’t be represented in game lol

UK Eurofighter has brimstones, just don’t remember what tranche.

Tranche 2 Block 15 would have Brimstone compatibilities according to Wikipedia

Wont be the first one, that will come with the Typhoon FGR4

Some German double seater eurofighters had it, but idk about single seater

we could also have the FRG4 since we still dont know which one we will get yet, which I feel is the better choice

Isn’t this the best one and make the others come DOA later tho?

(DOA wrong word, more like obsolete)

Maybe? But given the F2 was only in service for 5 years (and is the more limited of the 2) and the FGR4 has been in service for the past 16 years and still in service. It makes sense the F2 comes first.
