Typhoon being faster gives you more range and lethality…but it is a double edged sword.
Flying at mach 1.6-7 gives you the Typhoon player less time to defend and makes any missiles fired at you more dangerous.
R-27ER is great and they catch many players out.
Typhoon also only has 6 120s so you cant waste them and need to be closer putting you into R-77-1 and MICA engagement ranges.
R-37 and Meteor arent needed. The biggest gripes are going to come when Gaijin add the Su-35 at the end of the year. Insane performance incredible Radar and a massive payload
i mean, f15ex will match it. both will got 12 arh missiles, altho the su35s will be better at short range, and will also get 6 of the longest range fox 3s in the game
120s/260s by then will be 40ish gs, with .3 seconds delay compared to there .6 right now. And they’ll be the longest range medium range arh missiles. I think they’ll be fine.
I dont know i see it sooner US needs a new F-15
AESA Radars are in game and Russian mains will expect a Su-35 after flying the slow Su-30.
F-15EX and Su-35 are pretty good counterparts.
Sadly the rest will suffer (not France)
Typhoons Radar is so bad and another nation having AESA and comparable flight performance just pushes it down.
By the way, when will we see electronic warfare? I don’t think it’s necessary to introduce the 5th generation, since even all 4rd gen have it or 3rd generation can use it via pods.
