Yeah. It’ll be really rough if they do get nerfed, especially given the armament on the Rafale will be notably underperforming on account of Magics missing effective range and part of their flare rejection system, and MICAs being unable to achieve even the 50km max range when IRL they are claimed to have a max range of ~80km.
Can’t wait for France to be shafted not only in payload but in platform.
let alone having Magics instead of MCIA IRs :D
They wouldn’t even be as much a slap in the face if they had close to their effective range irl, and the rest of their flare rejection. But this is the second platform without the IRs. Suspect it’ll take America getting their shit an update before IRs are introduced.
It most likely will. Anyway. Im still hoping Aim-9Ms get their IRL lock ranges :D
That’ll come before magics are fixed in that regard, willing to put money on it.
If the F-18 appears in this version, then you don’t need to rush, it may appear in a test server. If Gaijin decides not to launch the F-18, then it is useless for you to be in a hurry. I still want to replace the J-10B with the SU-30MK2, do you think gaijin will care?
Lets be honest, there’s nothing the FA-18 will add that current existing US aircraft don’t already do.
You air mains have been drowning in water while the ground mains have been dying from thirst
Don’t like it when anyone can fight back hah?
Its USA vs USA because the only viable jets at top tier are the F15E and F15I.
Eurofighter and Rafale are going to bring back some variety. Now all we need is more players to reach the excellent J10 and then we need a good Russian top tier jet
don’t worry, it got neither :)
Honestly, I want to say that’s more a symptom of a larger issue (that being how Gaijin decided to add the F-16C, F-15C, F-14B, and F-15E).
Truthfully, a lot of the later 4th Gens for the US (and maybe some other countries) shouldn’t have been added until the earlier 4th Gens had been fleshed out, I.E. not going beyond an F-16A Block 15 (non ADF), F-15A, F-14A (maybe with researchable mods to turn it into a late) and an F/A-18A for the US until it was actually time for everyone to get their equal, and so on.
Gripen and M2K still better and MiG-29SMT really good as well
Yeah but, come on. A Mig29smt vs a Eurofighter or a rafale is no contest. They need to un-nerf that flight model
Is it no contest? R-73 likes Typhoon booty.
No greater a difference than F-16/Mig-29 vs Tornado F3 we had for a year.
boo hoo
why are you like this
Yeah, which is also no contest
you’re kidding right? the f18 is an extremely capable aircraft. its not as good as an f15e but thats because the f15e shouldnt have been added before it
sorry, glorified modernized f5c**
