you assume we wont get an R-class (they only chose this because none of them have any significant AA)
I don’t think so, because the f15 has unlimited countermeasures, better gun, more aamrams, it’s pretty good. Eurofighter is probably more evenly rounded for both BVR and WVR. Therefore I think that’s balanced
F-15E could get four more AMRAAMs?
Edit - Ohhh, never mind, completely misinterpreted. You meant two more, not twice as many
That diagram completely ignores the outer pylon. NVM was looking at ground options
Yeah, I’m sure King George V will be included in the patch, 1911 KGV that is.

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
