This is quite ironic but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.
Along with it’s stealth properties already making is hard to track it, assuming at least 116 CMs (yes I counted) that seems to be enough. Not sure if those are large or medium sized flares though.
Nobody serious argues 1 or 2.
3 is a per-pilot basis
4 and 5 has way to many factors relying on Gaijin modeling things right for there to be a definitive answer.
6 is cope. It will have HMD as it does in real life.
7 is again subjective.
8 guns only the F-22 is not losing to any other plane assuming equal skill. I don’t know what to tell you man.
Also the US main stuff is just kinda cringe… Like I’m not here advocating for the F-22 because of nationality, it’s just because it has the stats to back it up and trying to downplay that seems foolish.
Nothing, and that’s how it should have been since it’s supposed to be a technological progression, and EFT/Rafale aren’t supposed to come before the F-18s, or the slew of aircraft you’ve mentioned.
Based upon an above source ,likely small/standard as the above source states 40 flares and 20 chaff likely large. If the pattern is fairly standard for these kinds of CM launchers then it can probably double stack smaller CMs so 60 large or 120 standard or something
Multiple people seem to be constantly.
Then they can buff the Typhoon up to IRL performance and give it AMK
At the same time, there is an attitude from certain players that “made in america” = “always the best by a significant margin” and yet if you actually take away the stealth on aircraft like the F-22 and F-35 they are actually kinda mediocre.
This is debatable, there is no data on its actual performance all we have is its weight and it is a CHUNKY boy.
And comparable in size to the F-15 there is a non zero chance it will rely on thrust to be any good at ACM and will have high wing loading comparative to fighters in its class, it’s not a harrier and therefore has no way to offset its high wing loading.
Yes since progression in capabilities is the most logical step even if it means some countries would have multiple top tiers before another one would have its chance to shine. It does not make sense in any world for the raf/eft to come before F-2, F-18s, F-15s, Su-30s, Su-27s.
And as for the Germans, they were to either get Swiss F-18s or just play the F-4F ICE at an appropriate BR, nothing else to it.
Well, that is just stupid, if there was no Rafale, Typhoon or Gripen E, then there should be no F-15 or Su-30 either. Simple. The Moment they added the F-15C, the Eurodeltas were innevitable
So maybe there should be no F-22 or Su-57 until we get Tempest then?
Huh? That doesn’t make sense. F-15s and Su-27s logically came after F-16s, Tornados, Mirage, MiG-29 came. They were the logical next step. Later F-15s, Su-30SM, F-2A, Hornet, and Super Hornets were the logical next steps, not RAF/EFT
