Su-35S, F-15EX, Gripen E, J-10C, J-16, Typhoon (Captor-E),… Then rename the Rafale F3 to F4 (because it has almost all the features of the F4) and add a real F3 with lower BR. We need things that can compete with each other, not just one that dominates. I was disappointed when the Rafale dominated every ARB match, and it was even more absurd when the Rafale didn’t even have to compete with itself.

The F16V, F/A18E/F, F2B, J16 and mig35 they would also be good additions
Well I can’t list them all. However, I’m really confused about which tech tree the F-16V will be in. If I remember correctly the US doesn’t use it, it’s for export. If so then the F-16V will likely be in China via Taiwan.
we also need new missiles for other planes like ASRAAM, R-74 AIM-9X PL-10. and also buff PL-12 and AAM-4 and aim-120c-5 to their realistic values. R-27 and R-27E series are also underperforming alot
I believe the US operates the F16V, but I don’t have any info about that.
The Rafale in-game is the F3R, and is “accurate”.
F4 is a new cockpit, more air to ground weapons, a newer AESA radar, and so forth.
Su-35 and J-10C, while they’d be good additions, will be chronically in-line with 14.3.
F-15EX will be better than Rafale, but on-par with Typhoon Tranche 3. Both would be powercreep above that of Rafale.
@JZRD F-18E is not an upgrade over the F-18C, especially when F-18C Blocks 25 and 30 exist.
Yes Su-35 will be at 14.3. But I am talking Su-35S do you know those are 2 different things? A lighter plane with more powerful engines, better radar will have the same br as SU-30SM?. J-10C actually shot down Rafale.
We need more new planes in game in general. I don’t really care that the Rafale specifically is the meta right now. There is always going to be the best one. I just want a change. It’s been almost a year.

There are no confirmation on J-10C actually shooting down anything, with distance of engagement Indians likely shot it down themselves in typical blue on blue
My post was talking about the same Su-35, I just didn’t type the sub-variant as your post already did that.
Su-35S is going to have worse flight performance than Su-27SM, which itself is notably worse than Rafale.
The Su-35 will be neat, but it’s purely playing catch-up.
Soviets might not ever get a jet as peak in flight performance as Su-27SM.
Su-57 will likely be 2nd though.
Also this topic is supposed to be machinery of war.
Yes, we need more planes at the same time. Everyone will have a fair chance to compete, that’s what I mean.
Idk where you taking it from but 35S is in fact better flight perfomance wise than Su-27SM3 or any other flanker really
The Su-35 weighs significantly more with a marginal improvement to thrust.
In every situation thus far, that has decreased performance.
It weighs roughly 2.5 t more with about 40 kN more thrust, it is more or less the difference between F-15C and E and Strike Eagle is incomparably faster. it would have worse sustained turn rate but it literally doesn’t matter
40? lol it’s 10kn, not 40.
The F-18E’s engines produce 18kn more thrust than the GE-404s and the F-18E performs worse than the F-18C due to the weight gain.
US can still get it regardless. They never operated the Stingray or many prototypes but still have them. The RCV + ICV weren’t even in service when they were added, same with 2S38.
How much heavier is the F-18E over F-18C /gen

I think Russia has the T-80 variant that was proposed for Sweden, while Sweden has the T-80 they tested or something too
