I know the feeling since my body demands 12H as if I go to sleep at 2am I wake up at 2pm

@quartas121 15 people would like to disagree with both of you.

The key point here is that the US managed to get 5 new jets (yes I’m still including the F-117) between 2 updates while other nations managed to get an average of 2/3 jets between the 2 updates.
China is an exception, but I think “Dance of Dragons” explains itself. Chinese mains also don’t complain much compared to US mains, they’ve actually appeared to be grateful.
A word that may be unknown to some US mains.

I said it earlier and will say it again.
I am looking forward to the near future where US will be shit on in ARB. Cause everyone and anyone actualy starts using better missles as them.

China also has a “unique” issue to explain their need to get so many top tier jets recently.

Chinese air production really ramped up in the 2000’s resulting in an influx of new jets compared to a majority of minor nations which stuck to 1 or 2.

Goes unfathomably hard

Chinese Flanker paint schemes are always amazing.

That already as well.
But i mean even japan or israel who bought american planes but use better missles on them

tbh in regards to the J-11B the thing that scares me the most is if Gaijin is gonna model it’s lighter airframe

yes you are right the only plane that can carry aim174b is super hornet f18 however since the AIM-174 was never fully operationalized im not sure any plane can carry it although the F15EX is likely compatibility with aim174b so it would make sense that they will integrate it to the EX in near future

15EX will likely use JATM for BVR engagements in Future. SM-6 is not produced in big amounts to equip everything with it.

Yawn. Oh my the nationalist are gathering up.

Yes US mains seem to complain about the same as GBR and German mains.

Exclusive to the recent update. And datamined spaa.

At ground im general they have a lot to say

yeah The JATM can actually be carried by pretty much every US fighter jet so it’s not just exclusive to the 15EX hat said, the F15EX is one of the newer airframes, so it’s definitely a top candidate for getting advanced missiles like the AIM-174B The F15EXis built for these kinds of upgrades, so it makes sense that it would be a big part of the future of air combat.
Still, it’s not like the AIM-174Bwill only go to the F-15EXThe whole point of the JATMis to give a boost to the air-to-air capabilities of multiple U.S. fighter jets not just one. So, while the F-15EXwill get its share of these next-gen missiles, the JATM will eventually be spread across a bunch of different platforms in the Air Force

man, I really wish we could get 20km range SPAA for every nation to help balance CAS(Close Air Support). The current AA systems just don’t have the same effectiveness as the ones that were added years ago. I may not have been playing that long, but from the updates I’ve seen, these AA systems are considered outdated. Back when we were fighting jets like the F-86, F-4F-100 MiG-21 and Su-7, they were actually quite effective for their time. But now, we have more advanced systems like the Pantsir S1 with its20km range and the Type 81C with its stealthy missiles. On top of that, modern jets are much faster, with Mach 2+ capabilities and 20km ATMs. It’s clear that SPAA needs a comeback to stay relevant and provide effective air defence against these high performance jets

NASAMS are your best bet for that.


By “Non C&P (not top tier)” I meant something unique (not a pure C&P) or something useful (toptier/fills the gap)😔

Oh chinese mains are some of the whiniest, they just rarely leave their own threads and sepparate websites they use instad of this forum so you rarely see it. What other nation mains are with a straight face screaming that gaijin is racist because their vehicles have imperfections?
