[Development] Rank IX Aircraft and the F-16C Block 52!

The R-27ET was hardly produced at all, but its quite possible to equip at least two. Your point being?
It has technical feasibility and the Block I in particular is not a checkmate missile.

And it’s not like Gaijin is willing to properly model the AIM-120 series either, so a compromise must be made if they are giving up to deliver a competitive airframe to US top tier.

The point is that the missile is too good to be included in the game at present. Quite simply, the R-27ET is a child compared to the AIM-9X Block 2 or even the Block 1.

imagine thinking block 1 doesn’t have IIR seeker
block 2 just adds datalink

He thinks that the missile in IRL is like the one in the game’s anti-aircraft weapons.

Block II is kinematically and fundamentally different than Block I.

But anyway, I’m thinking of solutions on how Gaijin is neglecting the US tech tree, but if you’re okay with it while gatekeeping yourself, that’s genuinely on your end.
Enjoy getting the AIM-9X when they get R-74Ms/IR MICAs/ASRAAMs outclassing you even further lol

r-74 is a r-73 , and r-74 never exist , only r-74 m

Mica, irst, and aSRAAM they are identical to the AIM-9X, I don’t understand the crying.

lol you’re trolling

My point quite literally proven. So even though top tier US Air is stuggling to be competitive, you simply cant give them anything because “too op”. So what? Do we just start nerfing everyone else?

I don’t think America is weak, nor that it lacks competitiveness, but even if it did, it wouldn’t do something that would simply make America too strong.

Everyone gets limited to six missiles. Everyone’s top speed is nerfed to the same speed as the slow F/A-18. AOA and handling performance is all nerf to the same state. All missiles are reduced to the Aim-9M specs, Aim-7M, and Aim-120C. No 40g pull, no Mach 5, its all the same.

Because allowing the US to have the particular air doctrine it decides to go into is just too OP. While the US went with stealth over high speed and maneuverablity, we wouldn’t want to force anyone else to have to adapt and overcome. Just like the US suffer at top tier air. That is an incredible stance to hold.

Block 2 jsut adds lofting and optimized trajectories and datalink.

It’s the exact as 9x otherwise

Surely you can back that statement with stats, right... right?


Meanwhile, Rafale stats:

And EFs

Another day in the office, as usual. Playing up US stuff for the love of the game, while curiously getting possitive patterns on any other plane closer to the meta than US’

I thought the block 1 used the same motor as the 9M, no?

all 9X use 9M motor

Indeed

It is.

Mate, I have all the top tier American aircraft, literally all of them, and I don’t think they’re bad. In fact, I think they’re very good. For example, the F-15E and Golden Eagle are incredible. I really like the F-18 Super Hornet and I liked the previous one too. I didn’t feel limited by missiles or speed.

The Rafael and EFT/Typhoon are the meta and have been since implementation. With the Su-30 and Chinese counter part following closely.

Don’t the block II use a different motor? I could’ve sworn i read that, and they do in WT.
