introduction dates are irrelevant for balance

Well well well, just look at that, who coulda though that USA playing with 1979 planes in the game, compared to ruzzian 2022 or swedens 2023 planes, can USA get something modern? maybe something in this era?

Well considering the F-18E and F-15E are the oldest on that list, and are also the worst on that list, I think they are kinda relevant.

of course it’s irreverent as long as it’s favors nation you play :)))

yeah, lets ignore the F18’s terrible fight performance and engine performance, and the F15E being a strike aircraft and blame their introduction dates for the fact that they suck against the meta

then why is OP using airframe age on the F-15C GE then lmao? if we apply the same logic to the Su-30SM2 it goes back to the early 2000s late 90s with airframe age
no idea lol
PBV 301 would have to act as Spaa against F-5s, there are plenty of good reasons why year of introduction ≠ BR
Though the post is incredibly dishonest.
F-15C GE is NOT a 1979 aircraft as it has a number of upgrades that are far far more modern than that. MRML were originally proposed in 2015? but best sources for them being confirmed are 2018/2019 ish? but as far as I am aware is still under development. Im not sure if they have actually entered service yet
AN/APG-63(v)3 is from 2007 ish?
Heck, BOL didnt even enter service for the US until 2006
Even general loadout its nonsense to use that argument, as the C5s are 1996+. Last time I checked the F-15C GE at 14.3 wasnt using Aim-9Ls and Aim-7F
So the F-15C GE is a 2007+ aircraft based upon radar and BOL, maybe 2019+ depending on if/when MRML actually enter(ed) service and so potentially 2026+ based upon loadout (though im not well versed on the F-15s, so granted, I might be getting that wrong)
So the F-15C GE is from the same era as everyone else. So nothing to complain about.
So you state the Gripen E is from 2023, but using the same standard you should have said 1996 which is when the Gripen A entered service.
(P.S, your Typhoon dates are very wrong)

also the super hornet is modeled of an later variant instead of the initial variant from 98/99 if im not mistaken
You’re mixing the term realism with historical accuracy.
Introduction dates are not considered, only the performance of the vehicles. (how well the dev’s do that is another discussion)
Trust me, you do not want historical matchups, you will get completely stomped at some BR’s resulting in almost no one playing the “bad” vehicles in those BR’s and you will dominate in others resulting in you having almost no opponents to be matched with as almost no one wants the play the “bad” side of the BR.

Probably, not well versed in US aircraft specifics tbh
F-117 to 12.3 as it entered service after the Tornado IDS and the upgrades dont count :P
