You can lead an American pilot to good equipment, but you can’t force them to use it effectively.

have beaten Lost Lace, such a HARD boss.
it spams a lot of attacks and each one takes between 2 and ¡4! MASKS.
Honestly:
Looking from current air rb, some sim if you will as well, and some recent competitive tournament game mode matches.
I think the current meta lies somewhere in the middle,
Yes Pull will matter, but not totally. For example in comp games, F-15CGe( was one of the few 14.3 to be added first, other 14.3/14.7 were not at all added)
And it would MCM( or basically missile kill other missiles) every other missile being removed entirely. Current aesa can track other missiles and completely overpower enemy platforms with lower ARH counts, so that gives a hand to Su30sm variants and F-15C Ges,
So seeing 120D possibly excel a little bit more in range and TTT(Time to target) which if better than C-5 would help quite a bit, and same goes for pl-12A
(Note, if 120D can get some reduction in drag, and maintain more energy for better time to target like a fakour which people die to alot in this day n age, it will be still quite damn effective at increasing range being a quite large advantage, giving less reaction time)
However pl-12A will just be a little more range to compete w current amraams, and be the same better pull than those said AMRAAMs.
Toptier air rb will be even in a better state. As a ru main, i am gassed to see it. Also just started grinding china, so lets see what happens.
But the meta isnt exactly(“pull matters”) not when you have 12 missiles on a jet you can simply just shoot down peoples missiles lmao

I think it will be a competition of which of the two potential aircraft with the new missiles will be the worst 14.7

The US players will dominate the chinese in this.

Sounds about right. I suspect F-15EX is what will be added with AIM-120D, and that will be arguably better than J-10C with PL-12A due to the rocket ship engines but Chinese mains will have higher statistics anyway.
the F15-EX is also my guess, since gaijin will have the hype they want for their cash cow.
i cant wait to see people pinging bases and bombing in that thing, then coming to the forum to complain about how the PL-12A is overpowered
Nah, however I will say R-27EA was promised to me and will be coming

Before that gib Indian Su30 and Rafale plz
(they will be powercrept at this rate)
Like how the AIM-120A/B are the best missiles at the moment, the AIM-120D will be king
I am not sure as to why, people earlier on other platforms or here had to think it would be f-16Pobit or whatever, it has to be the EX for a good reason:
Currently gaijin gave many platforms more missiles, like eurofighters and J-10Cs receiving 2+ more missiles than what you would expect and also you acknowledged the F-15C golden eagle to receive more (+4) amraams. Its quite known if you want to survive, the endurance is a main thing, and its why jets like su30sm had existed pretty much fine even after rafale and eurofighter introduction (i was laughing at people who said J-11B would be better, no idea how they thought a 6Arh platform vs 12 Arh would be better).
Anyway, currently 14.3 is crowded with those 12x missile carriers like the Su30sm/Su30MKM/F-15C-Ge/Superhornet. And then theres eurofighters and J-10Cs with 8 arh + 2 ir.
F-16s no matter the type will not be able to compete even with 120Ds.
Simply not happening,
Now if the 15Ex were to come, it would be perfect to sit at 14.7 with 12x Aim-120-Ds. Rather than force pushing a F-16 to sit at 14.3 w 120-Ds
