You wont have a ping on your RWR or a return on your Radar though.
As we dont have an EAWACS aircraft providing DL we are dependant on Gen 4+ Radars reliably detecting Stealth airframes. That Su-35 is going to look like a whale on the Radar return for the F-22
Then consider the missiles Aim120D vs R-77M has a range of 120Km that F-22 will detect you and fire on you before you even know they are there.
Smart countermeasures exist combined with an RCS reduction the Gen 5 airframes have you just die to BVR. So you switch to IR missiles (if you can get close enough)
It’s going to a tough ridiculously unbalanced fight if they implement stealth correctly.
You would have a ping on RWR if its compatible with the band being used.
And a return on radar doesn’t really mean anything, you just use IR missiles.
And in air arcade & realistic, you don’t need to detect stealth airframes, you just need to wait for them to arrive to the battlefield.
AIM-120D wouldn’t be used, neither would R-77M. Those would be exclusive to aircraft added years after the first F-35 is added to WT.
Alright mr expert engineer that knows better that the developers of the typhoon which outright say it’s super cruise capable from subsonic to super sonic speeds.
Right here as @Flame2512 said.
Dry power acceleration from sub to greater than supersonic. From the Eurofighter website. Which lines up with the EJ200 data both of which are primary sources. So you’re wrong, how you cope with this new reality is up to you but I would choose to accept the new information and adjust my positions accordingly.
Ah I see that a lot of moderators is here. Some info if there are some plans to increase number of countermeasures by adding S-8PM for Su-27/34? And practically for almost all Soviet planes/helicopters from tier V which have access to S-5/S-8.
Its not, bein effectively fully stealth gives edge against your opponents, if you think you will be able to spot F-22 as you can spot F-15 then you’re living in dreams.
Your radar and IRST will most likely become useless until you reach visiual conformation range which means F-22 would’ve already fired amraams on your way and it s already too late for you.
You think Gaijin actually cares that? My F-20 is constantly fighting against Fox-3 slingers with butchered radar and Aim-7F only, what makes you think it will be different when they introduce 5Th Gen Fighters?
