lol? The top air nation again after 10 months, that along many other nations slinging 120A/Bs, including Germany, GB, Japan, Israel, France, etc. and before the nerf on most ARHs, the buffs on MICAs, and the R-77-1. I think its a decent change of pace from where the game was.
But don’t worry, eventually the 120-C will be gimped to 20ish Gs of overload, with an awful aoa generation.
speaking of 120Cs:
Those missiles have only technological improvements which Gaijin:
won’t develop as its completely worthless
won’t apply as the performance boost out of the improvements is negligible if they fix the AIM-120A properly, to which the only solution to a noticeable performance boost is to jump to the C5.
10 months? The Rafale/EFT was only added in December. F-15E was added in October/November, before that F-15C dominated ARH, before that F-15A was debatably better than the Su-27 in Air superiority.
Opressive on day 1 without drag, significantly opressive for barely a month or a couple of weeks at best, not to mention they started the devblog season right before patch release.
Lasting only a month before Gaijin nerfed AIM-120A/Bs for everyone without a single document referring to such change, which marked the beginning of the 10 month period of time.
Deliberate lie. The F-15A was on the weaker end of the patch along the M4k, both being HMS-less when compared to the Gripen and the Su-27, and carrying a SARH nowhere near the R-27ER.
nah, given the timeframe you’re referring to (July/December), it was contested with its anemic AIM-120A/B. The only advantage the US consistently had were the airframes, and even then, was/is a meta where dogfighting wasn’t and isn’t a godlike asset for the F-15C or even E. If you’re arguing over its thrust, god forbid the US has something to use as an advantage at top tier, as such thrust sacrificed a significant amount of manueverability the F-15A had for example.
Both laughably brief dominances that got eclipsed by balance patches.
