14.3 with 6 Missiles of identical range to the C-5 is criminal, another update another sad US plane at .3 br higher than it should be

dude, if its 5000 GE i’d do it

Good timing. I just finished the US air tree again and i needed something to dump my bonus rp from spading into.


In fact, it was not created, especially since it is in block 70 of the documentation.

It’s gaijin

Speak for yourself. I have other top tier jets to play than US’.

There’s simply no incentive to get the F-16C or to get any current top tier US jet when compared to the Rafale, AESAphoons and Su-30s.

Thing is Gaijin releasing US jet late to the game
the F/A18’s should have came way before the F15E
the F16C Pobit should come with with the edition of EFT’s
F15C GE should have come with the edition of the SU30SM

Now the US is behind in "Meta’’ cause of their late editions and gaijin isn’t picking up the pace for it

I think with this addition it makes for the 3rd aircraft in a row for the USA toptier that is missing half its capability’s at launch or is just pointlessly just not the full variant so they can make us grind that later one with all the upgrades, (cough cough block3 f18 for 174s later,)

Its becoming ridiculous why not just give us the godamn pobit why just this worthless crap, ima make the assumption that the pobit block 50 is what will eventually come but cmon even for gaijin this is pathetic work by the dev team, poor CM’s having to deal with the player annoyance when for once its fully on the dev team and the only answer i can think of laziness.

However I do understand it could have been forced last minute by higher up and I feel sympathy but to many times in a row this has happened for it to be a one off suprise addition issue.

the 120 would be good if it does indeed have 0 inertial drift i see a few rage posts coming in the future from beginning of the map afk’ers or floor huggers.

No we don’t need more folders… we need a long overdue economy update and reduce RPs overall esp. for modules.

And according to those in the meta and that are dominating top tier, you can’t add anything to the US arsenal that would put them on a more competitive footing because it be " too OP".

Can’t give the F/A-18s their 9X because its too OP.
Can’t add the F-22 because thats 5th Gen and that’s too OP against 4.5 Gen despite never missing a beat to tell you that a Rafael locked an F-22 it started behind of and totally didnt have external tanks.

I still don’t get why they say the engine is better, it’s only slightly better dry and actually worse in afterburner

First of the AIM9X is not needed
Secondly the F22 should not be added yet

Laughable addition

9X blk 1 could be perfectly added for wingtips on the F/A-18E/F, same rocket motor, fuze and warhead of AIM-9M and less drag to AAM-3 levels if not lower, plus TVC for close range maneuverability.

Could go to the AH-1Z too, which has been missing its AIM-9Xs for a good while now.

virtually impossible to evade seeker, 70g, thrust vector, can be fired without lock, shall I continue?

Do your research on the Block I.

Only valid from Block II onwards (which is exactly the ones that uses SPAA systems in-game), do your homework.

Incorrect, they were all born with these abilities; Block 3 simply has these characteristics further refined. and the evolution was so rapid that the AIM-9X Block 1 was hardly produced at all, and what was actually produced in large quantities was the AIM-9X Block 2.
