russia wouldnt get that in a void, if they got R-77M most western jets would probably get AIM-120D and if its R-37M would get Meteor so even then I dont think it would be the best jet
pretty much, I assume the reason we got the F-18s was because there were so many requests for them instead of the gripen (even if the gripen was the better plane lol) im still kinda hoping for the canadian 2A6M just because it looks cool

Come to think of it…
Since F-22 and F-35 are primarily armed with AIM-120s, and given the implementation and state of these, all future potential F-22/35 players should be bracing for disappointment xD
hence why im caring more about the Meteor and 5th gen IIR missiles lol

Yep, It is hard to say that China gets su35s in the same update as Russia. Because kinda just drops the uniqueness of grinding russia. Same reason why su30sm2 came, because japan got Su30MKM.
Until 5th gens comes, i think chiniese techtree will first likely get J-16s. Now people are saying that those jets can only have new IR missiles like pl-10?
I think 🤔, su35s/F-15Ex/J-16s will come with a new mechanic.

F-35 cant carry IR missiles internally to my knowledge
so at that point why even using it, as it defeats the whole purpose of it being a stealth aircraft
russia doesnt really need the su-35
But my point is, if any of these end of the line top best 4.5th gens are to come, then they will drop with new mechanics. Because they are going to be quite the copy paste of certain jets and make them useless.
New mechanic could be IIR missiles on jets for all. Or ECM/EW together. Or whatever…
ECM will probs come maybe this upcoming or the one after

The 2A6M or the 2A6M CAN? As Canada used both.
Well, the differences are penadic; they do exist. It’s mostly the MGs used on it. Now I’m not sure what one had the “unbralla thing” as that’s from Afghanistan, where Canada was loaned the German 2A6M before it could get some for itself, which it used to replace the loaned variants.

I sure hope so, other than israel which looks to be in a difficult spot, every other jet surely has good enough ECM capabilities if im not wrong?
i believe so, im not so well versed on israel and their tech
hence why I dont really care about 5th gens (no 5th gen will be able to use IIR missiles internally unless they add lock on after launch)
only way 5th gens are OP is if they make stealth just a bubble of you cant see them

This is my concern “here take Meteor, but against the 5th Gens they cant be used beyond 10km”
oh also giving the Su57 is defiantly functional IRCCM that will have a full 360 coverage making it immune to IIR missiles

Yup. Not looking forward to ASRAAM being useless against the Su-57 whislt their IIR equivalent ignores BOL
I mean realistically the RCS of the Su57 shouldn’t even render it partial stealth (the thing has a larger RCS then the B1 Lancer LMAOO)
So, its gunna be the only 5th Gen without any RCS signature?

then again we have no form of ECM and RCS in game thats why im terrified of how gaijin is going to do “stealth”

lacks ballast tanks, can’t float
Not OP enough
it’ll do fine at 2.3
