What would be the best 4.5 gen in the future?

As far as I can see this radar seems to have 60 degrees in azimuth to each side, like many other fixed AESA’s, maybe you misunderstood the total coverage for it’s side-to-side look capability? Because 120° would amount to a total of 240° in coverage.

I don’t get it.

100% a fixed plate not gimbled;

it always depends, as loadouts seems to be one way for Gaijin to balance aircrafts against each other, and they don’t seem super consistant on those, but i think it’s safe to say EFT will have a bit more missiles compared to Rafale, by how much remains to be seen.

Meteor + MICA NG IR will still be a solid combo though, because the first one will give something to think about at long ranges while the second one…

Well the second one will silently sprint towards you last minute like you owe him money, i don’t really see how else to put it X)

Won’t the MAWS already start going crazy once any of the next gen IR missile will be launched?

yep, but MAWS does not give a very clear indication like a RWR ping imo

Besides it bugs half the time, indicating missiles not going for correct aircraft. Maybe they’ll improve it (hopefully)

You’ll be immune to APKWS 😜

I doubt MICA NG IR will ever be added simply because there isn’t really equivalents for other nations at the moment.

Modernized Ukrainian r-27et with imaging seekerhead maybe but other than that…

Yeah, exactly, long ranged IIRs just arent really that common.

Not anytime soon that’s for sure.

But when there’s 5th gen, it could be used for assymetrical balance i suppose.

Besides i’m ready to bet IIR will be nerfed so its bearable to the avg player

Oh yeah, it will be what the current IRCCM should be like at most

In my experience it does? MAW tends to go off before the actual RWR does (I’m assuming it’s because MAW range > ARH seeker track range?). Of course, most of the time it goes off due to nearby friendly aircraft launching so other than that it’s working as intended (mostly…)

Oh it triggers all right.

But you know it’s a bit like an alarm that rings even when not necessary. With enough time you end up not paying too much attention to it, especially early game.

Skill issue on my part, but it got me killed a couple of times, where i incorrectly assumed it was triggered by a friendly flare while a R27ET was, in fact, about to brutally end my game.

Sips cup of tea whilst enjoying the Typhoons PD MAWS

I see what you did there

thats insane, where does it mount all that?

Most I’ve seen is 6, at least visually confirmed.

Until LaGS pull up

Would be 8 with second innermost hard point but it’s not visually confirmed.

(R-37m is rvv-bd)
