Same with the f22

2020-11-16 14:08:15 UTC  

Ah so one was cheaper to maintain technically

2020-11-16 14:08:34 UTC  

but ultimately 119 was chosen

2020-11-16 14:08:46 UTC  

Yes because it was a more capable engine

2020-11-16 14:09:23 UTC  

While 119 is more expensive, it does have the fuel efficiency benefit

2020-11-16 14:09:52 UTC  

I think the 120 was just a placeholder for the 119 because the 120 couldn't supercruise

2020-11-16 14:10:24 UTC  

I could be wrong

2020-11-16 14:11:40 UTC  

You're correct, 120 couldn't super cruise but it was more reliable since it uses the same parts as 119 without the Super cruise impeller

2020-11-16 14:12:08 UTC  

So the guys in the forums are talking about the yf23 with 120s then

2020-11-16 14:12:32 UTC  

Yep, which might be the Black painted YF23

2020-11-16 14:12:42 UTC  

I personally like the white one

2020-11-16 14:12:45 UTC  

More

2020-11-16 14:13:12 UTC  

the white one used 119 with a 3-7 degree thrust vector

2020-11-16 14:13:31 UTC  

Wait I didn't know the 23 could vector

2020-11-16 14:13:37 UTC  

barely

2020-11-16 14:14:01 UTC  

Is it enough to be useful

2020-11-16 14:14:13 UTC  

It is

2020-11-16 14:14:43 UTC  

think about it, SU-27's had thrust vector as well but it was a restricted 3-5 degrees

2020-11-16 14:15:11 UTC  

so that little bit of vector displacement goes a long ways

2020-11-16 14:16:00 UTC  

The Russians shit their pants seeing the 23 and 22 for the first time

2020-11-16 14:16:53 UTC  

Yeah, because the west, not only matched their agility, they also became Sky ninjas

2020-11-16 14:17:22 UTC  

its not until they found a way to use short wave radars to spot stealth targets

2020-11-16 14:17:45 UTC  

Isn't short wave very flawed

2020-11-16 14:18:04 UTC  

the issue is that short wave radars have a lot of clutter and to clean up that clutter it takes a lot of effort

The first time a played with a russian jet (Mig 21 at the time) I never looked back on US fighters

2020-11-16 14:20:00 UTC  

Do you still like American fighters

2020-11-16 14:20:05 UTC  

It was liberating to out maneuver a target

2020-11-16 14:20:24 UTC  

I do, mostly out of Speed and ammo capacity

2020-11-16 14:20:32 UTC  

Do you play ace combat 7

2020-11-16 14:20:55 UTC  

Yes, but my disc drive is broken, I need to buy it digital, again

2020-11-16 14:21:10 UTC  

Yea I got all of the stealthy bois

2020-11-16 14:21:18 UTC  

Including the x02s

2020-11-16 14:21:32 UTC  

I got all of the planes minus the DLC ones that came out

2020-11-16 14:21:50 UTC  

because Disc drive is broken

2020-11-16 14:22:00 UTC  

It's funny that I dont even have the f15c

2020-11-16 14:22:19 UTC  

I went with the f2a, f15j, f15e then yf23

2020-11-16 14:22:30 UTC  

F2A is my puppy
