we will have to wait for advance eagle like F-15EX for that lol
29,500lb payload… what an absolute semi truck of a fighter jet
it don’t need double the kinetic, an extreme example is the development of bombs. Early high drag bomb can’t fly much longer, maybe 5km at most? but new low drag bombs like MK84, can easily fly 10km, if added some fins to provid little lift, can reach more than 20. and finally, the glide bombs, can even reach 100.
this can even be achieved by improvement in flight control computer, by better controls in fin aoa, to get perfect balance between lift and drag
Americans try not to make everything an absolute chungosaurus challenge : impossible
hey it is very good looking jet
You ain’t gotta tell me that, Ra’am is my boo

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
