it will be interesting to see how the tables turn when US mains realise they are pretty much out of better aircraft until the F15EX and the F22/F35
Nah, they’ll be asking for Aim-9X, Aim-120C5+ and F-18Es by the first of January

lol ive already seen the odd person asking about 9Xs but even then most nations have better missiles (ASRAAM, I-RIST) same with AMRAAMs

Are they really?
We still have the F/A-18 Legacy and Super Hornets, late model F-15s with APG-63(V)2/3 and more advanced weapons as well as F-16Vs only to name a few.
I don’t think there will ever really be something they have no equivalent for.

Yep, my interpretation is that Aim-9X is a jack of all trades. its okay at everything, but not great at any one thing.
IRIS-T will dminmate in CQB
ASRAAM and MICA IR will be a menace at long range
Python 5 is overall better than the Aim-9X is most regards.

Talking about Britain.
We got Repulse, which was a notable downgrade over Hood or either 7.0 event ships.
Whilst our average is 1 new top tier ship every 2 years. I would hope that we’d either get R-Class in the same update as the soviets or an appropriate top tier ships like QE/Warpsite, KGV or Rodney.
oh yeah the uk is just kinda screwed no tech tree QE and russia is getting a revenge class before the uk which is the successor to the QE class…
I mean, there might be times they won’t have the absolute best, especially when their AMRAAMs and 9X compete with Meteor and IRIS-T/ASRAAM and equivalent, but they will always have something competetive at least.

This will be the case according to Smin last rumour threads when gzabi leaked the hornet.
If and when it is added it willbe added to all relevant tech trees at once
And will always maintain a sensors advantage assuming the devs model it as such.
If we got something else. I wouldnt really mind. R-Class never got modernised other than some AAA. Especially if it was something other than a 15" slinger. Would be fun to have something that was different. But if we get nothing in naval other than a useless filler. Then it will be a real shame we didnt get an R-Class in the same update. Heck could even get the exact same ship, just with the original name and a lot less rust
lol yeah, I still want WW2 refit of the QE and Warspite, please we need a british BB with actual AA
Renown just needs her HE-VT and she’ll be an awesome AA ship
