Nerf AIM-120A/B

no, obviously the more patriotic side will be taken into account

Too bad, if flankers get dual r-77 F-15’s should get AMBER and quad ravks

so more premium F18s = more american

Yes

there are some matches where its only the US vs most of the other nations in the game including the US

Well afaik, the su27SM is capable of carrying dual racks, just not on the belly.

soviets needs su35

Why?

You’ve got the Su-30SM

because aim120A/B needs to be nerfed

120C-7 needs to be added*

how so? Almost all Planes with Aim 120s are underperforming compared to planes that use R77-1 and MICA

Sounds like a Skill issue to me.

and besides. What would you nerf? Its already underperforming rather singificantly.

and then if Aim-120 was “nerfed” to equal R-77-1, we would then need Aim-120C5 to balance the fact that Su-30SM has 2-3x the number of AAMs that most AMRAAM carriers have. Either that or nerf the R-77-1

Though does sounds like you just want the soviets to be completely OP and uncontested in the sky.

F-15 is capable of carrying AMBER and quad racks

Interesting, though gaijin added the dual racks on the flankers as a buff as well as increasing the HMD range up to 20km from original 10, because of their poor performance at that time.

I don’t think the F15 currently is in such a desperate situation to having to equip, what like 16 amraams to compensate?

If they get thrust vectoring, I want missile truck

To be honest, I think F-15E with 16x AMRAAM would be more of a nerf than a buff, at least early game, you would have so much drag and weight that the main advantage it currently holds would be totally lost.

I think it can take 18 bc AMBER rack on middle hardpoint

In either case, even if I could carry that many, or perhaps the better example for me would be the mockup of a Typhoon with 14x Meteors. I think the sheer loss in performance would probably not be worth it.

Its probably why it doesnt seem anyone runs AMRAAM/Meteor on the inner pylons of the Typhoon, heck, the TMC for carrying 2x ASRAAM/IRIST-T seem rarely used in most images Ive seen.

The extra drag for hauling a large number of missiles can be both a blessing and weakness.

I think 12 would be a sweet spot between extra payload and maintaining performance

Then they might as well add J16 with 16 missiles
