So 98 Kn of force = 22031 lbs of force
3.5 tonnes + the empty weight = 24077 lbs
Translating in to a TWR of 0.91 for M2K, it doesn't really have anything to do with the versions of the aircraft like you believe, just the weight being loaded differs in each consideration ...
The JFT still beats the M2k over the TWR comparison, even with this claim of yours ... but like I've previously stated the comparison in such conditions wouldn't hold any ground, because the two jets belong to different weight classes, and carry different loads -- and the type of load would dictate the ultimate TWR but for the sake of comparison, I assumed loaded weights --
however if I were to compute TWR's on
Empty weight - Jf-17 would have 1.30, M2k has a TWR of 1.34 at empty weight
Loaded weight - JF-17 has a TWR of 0.94/0.95, M2k on the other hand has 0.72
Max take off weight - JF-17 has a TWR of 0.68, M2K on the other hand has 0.59
With these jets being of 2 different weight classes the load types on each would be different, but generally speaking JFT would be at an advantage in most cases --
That's usually the case with relatively heavier fighters, unless you have an engine like GE F110, or F100 giving you thrust ranging from 110 KN all the way to 144 KN if one is talking desert falcon, then you have Mig-29's with RD-33's providing along the lines of 80 KN each --
So while the M2K is a good platform, TWR isn't exactly its strong suite -- so bottom line, even with your "source" the M2k would still be at a disadvantage in the TWR category ...
I think you Right on this One Due to its Light Weight JF-17 Up in Twr I Studied Mig-21 in its Emergency thrust Mode can generate (T/W - 1.12 in emergency thrust mode)
Reason Mig-21 bison outperformed in f-16 in Cope india during Mock battles Not once but twice
I think One should not underestimate any Aircraft With Good Strategy any fighter Can be lethal
On the subject of HoJ,The problem is I've already stated a number of times that MICA is a good missile, but does it give M2K the ultimate advantage --- not really -- since the opposition -- I stress again -- is fielding BVR missiles that just happen to be very capable as well --- with continuous reference to the HOJ capability that both (AMRAAM C5's and SD-10's have)
- As far as your criticism of the AMRAAM is concerned, I'd love for you to read your post again -- aloud-- because all it's saying is that --- AMRAAM hit the drones, the Mig's over Iraq, the Serbian Migs --- and the "could be's" of why the jets were destroyed ... and if they had such and such and such would they have been able to survive -- all an "analysis" -- while the fact remains -- amongst all the incidents you mentioned --- the result were : kills achieved by the AMRAAMs ---
It is a huge misconception that missiles will home on a jamming signal. It may be possible with certain types of jammers, like barrage jammers which continuously emit a signal towards their target.
The jammers represented in the game are barrage jammers, which is incorrect. This type of jammer broadcasts noise at high power on a lot of frequencies/channels in an attempt to lower than SNR of the target radars, in other words, to blind them so they cannot see other incoming aircraft. This is the sort of jamming done by dedicated EW aircraft like the EA-6 or EF-18G.
ECM onboard fighters is normally an SPJ (Self Protection Jammer) whose job is to break lock if you're locked onto. It ONLY activates when you are locked on to, and only jams the threat signal - meaning the specific frequency and if possible in the direction of that signal.
For most missiles, when the target is presenting invalid data (assuming the launching platform can detect this) the missile launch is simply inhibited and you won't be able to launch it.
Some missiles are capable of exploiting an SPJ, but we don't know which missiles against which jammers. We know that a lot of missiles can attack barrage jammers, as long as those are broadcasting on the correct frequency, and a lot of missiles have some limited ability to deal with ECM while in-flight ... but you can, for the most part, forget about launching them if the target is jamming before you fire - that of course depends on the sophistication of your platform as well. A better radar can better cope with ECM.
