it isnt. fully fictional planes exist in the game. nerfing planes with historical standards which are applied with zero consistency is stupid.
historical standards are applied to planes that arent fully fictional, things like the Yak-141 exist how it is ingame because it didnt mount any weapons irl so they have to make pure assumtions. something like the Kurnass 2000 was a fully serviced plane with absolutely zero ability to use radar missiles.
Are you sure about that?
The “hystorical standard” Is respected only when Is conveniente to gaijin
The italian F-16 Never used the Sparrow while using the AIM-120 and yet in the game can’t use what hystorically had while using something he can’t use IRL
Same for the 104TAF as the Turkish army Never bought the 104S with the ability to use the Sparrows (By removing the internal gun)
