AIM-9X for F/A-18C for USA

Brotha. The SU-30SM is from 2013

The F18c isn’t from 1987 either

Have i said that the F/A-18 is from 1987? Afaik this F/A-18C we have in the game is the 2006 variant allong with the F-15C/E from 2006/2007

Not you but the guy I replied to

I literally used the same logic as he did

How come it is OK for him to quote the first flight of the F18 and not getting criticized by you?
But when I use the same flawed logic iam getting criticized.

Haven’t read his replies btw. In this situation I’m on your side

18C late, right?

18C early is supposed to be Desert Storm period AFAIK

That is correct

The HMD makes it so that the F18c late has to be atleast from 2006

Yes. My mistake for not clarifying

Su-27 from 1977 is bad copy of F-15 projects. Nothing more.
30SM should be considered as devolopment of 30MKI maybe

Cool pantsir, which cant intercept even a cessna)
S-300 also was really “good” in current strikes… in some country.
Stop coping about AA.

AIM-9X was flared by a SU-22 irl.

@JackalActual200-live

You better wait fot Block 2 to come along side the others though the US will be stuck with the worst IR/optical guided missile still.

It won’t help. Pantsir and BUKs will shoot down these missiles.

The guy is just trying to turn the topic discussion into another flame war on the forum.

Biggest problem with AIM-9X is the seeker being IIR, currently modeled the same as the Stinger’s seeker, which would already be oppresive if put on an AIM-9M, let alone the TVC AIM-9X which would be better in basically every way.

If you really want a TVC missile for the US, go to the AIM-95 Agile thread and ask for it (we should really make a suggestion). Unfortunately, I don’t think it was ever tested on F-18s, but the F-16, F-15, F-14, A-7, F9F and F-86H did.

nah he is totally right, look at it, it’s big like the 15, has 2 engines like the 15, and it can go really really fast like the 15

It’s a total copy bro, trust

ah so the F-15 was then by that logic he uses a copy of the Mig-25

Their spies sure weren’t eating their bread for nothing if they got the blueprints this fast.

Nah, dude, the MiG-25 is totally an F-15 copy—guess the Soviets just had a time machine and copied it before the US even built it!
