F-2

F-15 was qualified to carry the AIM-7P but I didn’t think the Air Force ever bought it.

Didn’t they only build three Su-25T that we have? Seems fine, the airframe was mass produced and the later versions had similar radar capabilities.

Paralay has a partially complete CAD model of the production Mig 1.42. He said he would let me know if he gets the rest. I would like to make an AI asset and make a campaign for the Eurofighter when it releases.

I think they or someone visited the surviving peace pearl aircraft a few years back. I would take it this that getting info on retired Chinese avonics is difficult and they went with PP because of that.

Both it’s kinda a mix

I think it should be taken domestic Chinese avonics are unlikely. very exciting! Pl-11 is what I need. Deka would you like some public documentation on APG-66 that I have? https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA142075.pdf https://www.scribd.com/document/429057021/F-16-Pulse-Doppler-Radar-AN-APG-66-Performance-1983 this is perfect for my 90s early 2000s East Asian scenarios!

Something like that. Most Rafale kills on Typhoons seem to have been at low altitude, the Typhoon seems very competent down low but not that different then other fourth gen, once they get higher the Typhoon is a beast and even the F-15C is out matched.

That’s a good point, I’d be a shame if my pilot wasn’t super fit like me.:p

According to the Italian air for e it’s about equal to the F-16 ADF under 10000 feet. So it should be very good low just not ultra extraordinary like it is at higher altitude. I’ve read against the F-18 and Su-30mki the Typhoon is vulnerable in the first pass and then they can’t touch it.

ASM-2 is still a beast of an antiship missile though for a phantom while AAM-3 is supposedly a big step up from AIM-9L.

I have the demo version of the desktop simulator for the Su-30mki. The demo excludes avonics but perhaps could be of use? I think it used a modified flanker engine

JASDF allowed recording for ace combat 04 too. Is there a Japanese dcs community? I’m mean I’m sure there are Japanese dcs players but is there a place they gather online? I’m interested in their plight.

One think I love about JASDF airplanes is they look factory fresh all the time.

I’ll add DA1 as well because it was THE scheme for many years before it entered service. EAP as well since it’s the proto typhoon

Still maybe someday

I don’t really care much for red but I love J-10. Would also just be generally great for east Asia. Though failing that I at least hope the AI J-10 comes out sometime.

AMK kit on the EK mock up. Is it coming?

https://www.servicehistorique.sga.defense.gouv.fr/resultats-recherche?cles=Rafale&search=Rechercher is this Rafale wind tunnel data? Or just a general use of the word Rafale as gust or burst? Numéro de dossier : 2098/53. Essais d'aérodynamiques dans la soufflerie supersonique à rafale

I believe the F-4E could only go up to F. Some modernized E like the F-4EJ and Turkish Terminator 2000 can mount Aim-7m. I believe other modernized versions like the Greek F-4E ice actually eliminated it. The British F-4 could use Sky Flash which had a similar guidance to AIM-7M. AWG-10 is pulse Doppler so it might be possible for the F-4J and F-4S to fire AIM-7M. Note some platforms that are supposedly unable to support Inverse monopulse missiles can actually fire they, just they are fired like a conical scanning missile. So if you fired an AIM-7M it fires like an AIM-7F.

Ha I was just gunna post this lol, anyone remember that show seconds from disaster?

I saw some mention of it in Janes as well. you seem very knowledgeable, have you worked on the Eurofighter in someway?

Hey so apparently the Eurofighter has a AoA/G override. Does that me we should be able to get AMK performance when Load permits?

Yes your right but the claim was 10% better ITR vs 15% on the AMK, so at least a good chunk of the benefit was possible early on if not the full thing.
