just because aerodymanics is same
According to what I found, the fbw allows a much more optimized attitude which increases maneuverability and reduces energy bleeding
The Fbw can’t change the aerodynamics of a plane
It is like you trying to download a better CPU if you belive the Fbw can improve aerodynamics
Ok , my point is that there are some planes yet to come. I don’t say if they are good or bad.
14D is not top tier of course. As before i’m stating what’s missing… However, at some point they will fix the missiles. They update the game as it goes.
F/A-18E Block III would be top tier and equivalent to EF2K/Rafale/Su-30/35 etc.
Yeap, this one.
Yes and no… They have other things going like Stealth , reduced IR signature etc. Sure , even 4,5 Gen are guestimations for the most part. But let’s see which planes are 5 gen currently : F-22/F-35 , Su-57 and J20. Which makes it… one multi-role/primarily strike aircraft -F-35 that most nations may have in game , a "we don’t know much and there is not many in numbers " Su-57 (i don’t say good/bad ) and a questionable J20. F-22 we know wikipedia/ what’s advertised as well…
I don’t know… doesn’t see a hint of balance. Not even as much as 4,5s.
Su-35S and PLAAF Su-35 could be added yesterday.
The fbw doesn’t change the aerodynamics themselves but the behavior of the aircraft and you can’t deny that more optimized maneuvers save energy and improve maneuverability, and the new fbw is partially meant for that
F4f ICE to EFT lol
Su-30Sm has fixed a lot of Russia’s issues at top tier, it caries a huge amount of missiles has good performance and an amazing Radar.
Su-35 would take that to another level similar kinematics to the Euro canards an even better radar and similar payloads.
I do think the major winter update we will see an F-15EX and a Su-35
Yeah, but for modern planes (2000s+) the FbW are so advanced the algorithms there predict pilot’s intention and will make for the best control surfaces orientation possible regardless of the stick/pedals not being at optimal position, and each year they become better.
IIRC Hornets will make rudder corrections even if you don’t touch the pedals at all, F22 can engage constant G-turns, TVC aircraft (Flankers, F22) can do corrections to compensate for trim drag, all of that automated.
As for the game, I know mouse aiming calculates best roll/pitch/yaw rates to get to the cursor position, but I’m not sure how they’d fit best sustained turns, constant G turns, etc., into the aiming system when you need to keep dragging your mouse around.

I mean, you can already do all of that with a hotas + trim. Trim turning is a thing. So, these FBW improvements shouldn’t make a difference.
F15ex, f16c block 70, f15c Aesa, f/a18e/f/a18c aesa upgrade. Aim120c or c5, aim9x.
We DONT need 5th gen platforms
Almost forgot f16xl

The F-14D implemented correctly (with AMRAAMS and correct Phoenix) would sit comfortabley at 14.0. Amazing Radar, Flight Performance and Speed. On par RWR and Survivability, and most importantly Situational Awareness with RIO functionality. (Yes I’m well aware the RIOs will probably never change, but I can dream, ok?)
Hawaiian F-22 Squadrons are getting JMHCS as we speak.
hell no, it would be op WITHOUT aim9x let alone with aim 9x
25g phoenixes would be menaces the fact theyre slow missiles would make them even more lethal.

- Reduced drag and options between Mk.60 motor and MK.47 motors.
Nice for them, but I specified OLDER f22 models, so 2005 to 2010
The F-22 only has the A model. Not much of anything changes besides it goes from 4x Aim-120B, 2x Aim-9M to 6x Aim-120D, 2x Aim-9X.
Did it have hmd in the early two thousands yes or no?
its a fairly recent addition, whilst usefull its not nearly as big of a deal irl as ingame, although jhmcs is quite capable irl compared to ingame
