Maybe not currently, but Im nearly sure that US can and eventually will recieve more variants of both F-15s and F-16s with AESA radars, whereas for example Japan currently reached the end of its airtree until F-35s get added, assuming japan didnt get AESA radars for their F-15s.
and with F-18s, AFAIK US didnt upgrad their F-18 beyond C variant, as instead they went with super hornets instead.
to be fair, this is community fault. like 75% suggestions from community are dogwater.
in case of things like reload times, aviable missiles and tank shells, this is balancing decision, as it was stated before.
If 2A4s were given the ammo they currently used, they would be catapulted to much higher BR where their armor would be even worse and mobility advantage they have would be nullified; same with base Abrams.
The US also has those calibers, but the USSR has many more larger calibers: 85, 100, 120, 122, 125, 130, and 152 mm. For example, those calibers are mainly found on the T29 or whatever that platform’s name is, while Soviet calibers of that size appear on tanks like the KV/122, T-34-85/100, T-44-85/100/122, T-54, T-62, and T-80. From 125 mm up to 152 mm, the USSR definitely has more large-caliber guns. However, Gaijin favors Germany’s anti-tank doctrine of high-velocity cannons. Not to mention that most maps don’t allow engagements beyond 1 km like in WWII, so the advantage of bigger calibers doesn’t really shine.
So if a BR boost is necessary to represent the vehicles as they really are, I think it’s better than nerfing them to the point where you’re disappointed of them, right? I hope the community comes together again to demand the well-deserved realism that we all deserve and I think we all want.
HSTVL getting a different ammunition will cause a higher BR. It’s already the 2nd best light tank in the game behind CV90120.
F-18E will be worse than F-18C for the realistic game modes, but will be marginally better for sim and arcade. F-18C is the best version of the F-18.
AIM-9X is far above what we have now.
USA is not a nerfed tech tree.
If anything USA is handheld.
USA has a Leclerc equivalent MBT at 11.3 while the Leclerc is 12.0.
Many nations are nerfed, not giving better ammo to a tank that actually exists is defined as a nerf, if a br increase is necessary to offer realism then it’s fine
devs clearly stated the US 18C early is meant to represent the aircraft as it was during desert storm.
swiss 18C “early” is post desert storm upgrade as far as i know, and its artificially kept at 12.7 by not having amraams.
in perfect world with decompression, swiss 18C “early” would sit at higher BR, but alas.
why not? assuming we get decompression, you can pick and choose between different hornets depending on their BRs.
im sorry, what? F-15EX right now? That plane would massively outperform any contemporary we currently have.
not neccesarily. this would leave major gaps in lineups. also I really dont want the 2A4 nor the base Abrams sit higher than they currently are, as i enjoy that BR range, as it doesnt suffer as much against CAS in uptier. You get MBT gameplay without having to worry about Kh-38MTs.
yes, you thinking thats what all want is the important bit.
Wont be different for game except of 120 more CMs(already found on F-15I in israel TT), AESA radar, +4 more missiles(potentially more, but that would be dependent on gaijin).
Op ammo that exist, It’s like if you have a bow and they give you a wooden arrow, but they deprive you of using professional arrows even though they exist and are used, the hstvl is deprived of its most powerful ammunition which makes its performance fake and nerfed
