The most I’ve ever heard about was 60 not sure if standard or large. Do you have sources for that CM count on the F-22?
IR Signatures are not modeled. I dont know why there is expectation that it will be correct on the F-22. F-117 has IR reduction code and is still hotter than an Afterburning F-5
Yes, it might gain an advantage in defeating things with reduced RCS, but so should everything else though, the Typhoon has 10x the RCS signature it should have.
And again, if the F-22 is so completely able to dominate the competition, why is there an expectation it will be at teh same BR and not a full BR or more higher and completely out of sight of the Typhoons?
Oh yeah it can carry smaller flares as well as seen by this image, basically doubling the cm count but smaller cms
48 each side so I would say 96 cms small or normal calibre
Thats pretty standard for most modern aircraft. Typhoon can do the same I think. So its down to Gaijin what they choose for it. Probably going to be 60 large. But would be good to get the option for what CM to carry. Like TERMA pods could be standard or large CMs and being an external pod, it would be trivial to just have a loadout option for both in the meantime
In fairness this is a matter of balance. If that sensor fusion were added before 5th gens it’d be game breaking (su27sm trying to comprehend the literal eye of sauron that is a fully capable aesafighter)
Because we’re not even at a point where 4th gen sensor fusion is supposed to come into the game. Rafale and EFT weren’t even supposed to get realistically added until after the Su-35 and F-15EX.
