if we figure both missile are fired at the same altitidue and in the same manner.
Say like this:
but achieve double the range, then surely it has to be more than just clever use of fins.
Given the increase in range is universal for ground launch, rotor launch and air launch. I just cant see how you can achieve a 200% increase in range through lofting alone
cant wait for full integration with JASSM, i think ittll be able to carry more than 5 since they tested aregular E with 5
it will be the best CAS jet ingame, ever. no one else comes close in raw firepower, not even brits with their brimstones
based upon a quick google. Its basically a storm shadow equivalent but with less range.
google the jassm-er
stealtheir too, and better terminal guidance
btw jassm-er isnt the brand new announced one, thats the jassm-xr with upwards of 1600km range
Basic armament diagram of the Eurofighter Tranche 1:
Brimstones are there, but don’t expect it for Eurofighter drop.
not only loft, also other things I mentioned
JASSM-ER and Storm Shadow have equal reported range, but that is often considered a low estimate for the Storm Shadow.
I would figure they have comprable terminal guidance performance and based upon a certain usage in a certain on-going conflict. equal “stealthiness”
So F-15E with 5x JASSM-ER vs Typhoon with 3x Storm Shadow is pretty close when it comes to max range stuff. Though 18x Spear-3 just to clear the battlefield is no idle payload either
Except as far as I am aware, again, the only change from Brimstone 1 to 2 that affected range was a new motor. Not the addition of fins or anything (that came with the spear-3)
i think you mixed up km with miles
id expect a US stealth missile to be better than a british/french low observable one considering far greater US experience and investment in that
Mud Hen & Sand Hen gonna go crazy
Missed that wiki randomly swaps unit of measurements.
but i’ve seen reports of Storm Shadow having far far higher ranges than what is publicly reported. and within the context of war thunder. we will never have maps for GRB where aircraft are launching from 550+km away.
So within the context of “F-15E will be the best CAS in game” is not really true. Both the Typhoon and Rafale easily match the F-15E in A2G payload when it comes to CAS in the context of war thunder
Bold statement and likely untrue. Given that European nations often far exceed the US when it comes to radar and IRST technology, so arent exactly ameteurs when it comes to building weapon systems. Last time I checked the US doesnt really have anything like Brimstone.
idk what either of those are but they sound israeli and pretty interesting
What about Mavericks tho
US pilots call Strike Eagle the Mud Hen, so I call Ra’am the Sand Hen
oh ok lol, thought it was just a missile name, israel has some pretty weird ones
What about them?
Eurofighter doesn’t use them I think. And idk if you referring to Eurofighter as a whole or just tranche 1
when has europe beat US in fighter radar tech? only one time, being the blue vixen that was still outperformed by stuff like the APG-70 and 63, though tbf they are different weight classes
and isnt all the integrated IRST stuff outperformed by stuff like SNIPER and LITENING pods anyways?
Expect there is no such thing as a “valid reason” not without trying to escalate to the world.
Like the US claim to Canada and the ANZACs (AKA there is none). Which you just want because they use some US tech(that everyone in the world uses), aka the US just wants claim to the world.
And before you used NORAD, it is an anti-nuclear attack organization(with no effect outside of NA(or the Air Force). So if it’s a reason then NATO must too.
