Lol, you did read the prior claim right?
Oh who am I kidding, no you did not.
The GE should get AIM-120Ds if it is forced to fight against far more modern airframes with more missiles.

Nope.
Because everyone else will be like:
“Why can’t F-16C get this?”
“Why not give AIM-120D to every American 14.0-14.3 jet?”
At which point the opposite side will be like:
“Where’s our Meteor?”
“Where is our PL-15/17?”
“Where is our R-77M or R-37?”
And before you know it, America will still be last place when all is said and done.
Also,
Rafale being stuck with 8 missiles
Anyways, you will take the gimped C-5s and be happy

Good point, all US 14.0 and 14.3s should get AIM-120Ds to balance the EF and Rafale.

Holy gatekeep out of an alleged domino effect that only makes sense by putting the AIM-120Ds in the equation, a missile no one realistically has asked for in the first place as everyone knows the US and blufor in general should be fine by getting AIM-120s A/B/C5s performance fixed in the first place.
There’s no point on asking for another advanced missile if they’re going to butcher it in the same way as the previous two variants, therefore your point crumbles completely. Gib 12 missiles.
p.s. racimazzedine liking your stance is all the reality check you should need to know how wrong you are, anyway.

And what exactly do you think will change from adding this besides contemporary missiles being added at the same time too across the board?
EF might keep C-5 for a bit longer before the eventual Meteor additions for both it and Rafale so there’s no worry there. They can still be notched in 3 seconds by both jets so they aren’t a threat and will likely still share the same seeker performance as the previous AIM-120 variants (aside from ECCM capabilities) so no difference there. The only ‘real’ benefit is range and even that is less than what the competition has. You can claw and cry for as many buffs as you like, but you’ll still end up with an America that’s objectively mid compared to everyone else
Also, you only mentioned one part of the equation–do you think China and USSR players (and others) will sit quiet and not make an uproar about specifically just the US getting upgraded missiles?
Meteor and PL15 are not comparable to AIM-120D. Why is it so unacceptable for the EF to lack in missiles and it’s not unacceptable for the F15 GE to lack in every other way?
The EF is a very modern 4.5 gen fighter. The GE is a warmed over early 4 gen fighter. They aren’t the same and the F15 should be compensated if they are expected to occupy the same battlefield.

Ah, so fixing said missiles performance should in theory not require an entirely new missile? Well, why didn’t you say so
To quote a certain someone in a thread not that far away… what are 4 extra missiles going to do that the earlier 8 couldn’t?
And again, a gatekeep out of a whim.
Perhaps suppression capabilities? Does more available missiles mean longer aircraft endurance in combat?
Anyway, can’t wait to throw the Golden Eagle november stats from Statshark in that other thread.
It’s so obvious its performing fine because Code 649 has a positive KD, right? /s

if gaijin will refuse to add modern US jets - yeah
Technically yes so yes

that ss is going to mean LOTS of trouble in the foreseable future.

They are very much comparable lol. The only difference is propulsion tech.
- EF and Rafale are gimped right now for the sake of balance (or what remains of it). Eurofighters do use C-5, but that’s not the only BVRAAM available to them. Same with Rafale.
- F15 GE can have what it can, but to not expect changes across the board to keep it even across nations is a bit… well, dull?
The F-15 airframe is ancient, GE not so much as its older than the EFs in-game. Should’ve went harder in R&D for that programme 🤷♀️ (I do acknowledge it’s missing stuff, so take that fight up with Gaijin)
The R&D program was the F22 Raptor, so we should get the F22 now?

Technically fuel does that but what do I know
Ah, the long awaited hope (or, expectation in this case) that the stats will be bad because… skill issue? Doesn’t matter to me either way. Buff or no buff, will still fly 😎
That’s a hell of a double standard: They claim the US should’ve invested in R&D, but the R&D the US had is literally twenty years older than the F-15C GE program and it still can’t get added because it would break the game.
