China counterparts aren’t even close to the Russian flankers (until this upcoming patch)
There’s a reason why the Chinese flanker is at 13.7 while the Russian top tier ones are at 14.3/7
Then why you’re carrying that gap of stats between the GE-F/A-18E and the Rafale-Typhoon if they’re “very good.”? Simple, playing them up for the love of the game.
Perform better and I’ll take your word. Until then, you’re just whining over things you can’t even back up by your own facts.
Really? Ig I’m wrong
They typically hold their own in Air Sim but they are also on the same side as the Russian Su-30 so to a degree, I would agree.
It still carries Mavericks, sad to see.
mate, I have Eurofighters and Rafales, I admit that they are more brain dead gameplay and easier to play, but I don’t think the Americans are simply weaker, but that’s just my opinion.
nvm they are slightly different

This is a semantic contradiction. A couple planes cannot be more braindead than others while the rest isn’t weaker to some reasonable extent at the same time.
In other words, you can’t say there’s better knifes without implying there are worse by nature.
It has nothing to do with it. The Russian CAS is easier to use than the others, but that doesn’t mean that a Gripen E or a Eurofighter AESA isn’t better at CAS if played well.
And the skill gap argument, that’s my bingo for today.
Keep fooling yourself, I had enough with this.

But this is a game. If you don’t want to talk about player skill, then there’s nothing to be done. What we’re talking about exists in real life, so I don’t understand the point.
If any undercoming the US must go through must be filled by skill gaps and not by actual features, then the balance is fundamentally flawed, and your own difference between US vehicles and Eurodeltas prove it extensively.
And here you’re saying the AIM-9X Block I will be broken when, if added will just going to be a very glorified AAM-3.

They are completely different seekers, one is IIR and the other is common IR( WITH IRCCM). That’s what you’re not understanding.
Uhhhhhhh
peak us main cinema movie.
If one aircraft has to be played well to equal another aircraft that doesn’t need to be played as well then one is simply better than the other. That’s how that works. US top tier aircraft can still be usable and even sometimes competitive but that doesn’t mean they aren’t just worse than others.
as you have denied here.
Two AIM-9X Block I per Super Hornet won’t break top tier as much as twelve R-77-1s per Su-30SM2.
It’s not even a popular plane to begin with.
Two guaranteed kills if you send it less than 4 km, while no guaranteed kills, that’s your comparison.
Physically hurts me seeing IR and radar missiles being compared…

it is a valid way of seeing things
