The J-8F is still limited to two MRAAM 's as the previous models were afaik.
Yak41 is 4 i think
and instead of adding the F15c they give fox to the F16C and Mig29SMT
that would at least fix the amount or just give f/a18s to everyone else
But that would still give them an absolutely massive airframe advantage over other nations again.
Dodging an AMRAAM in Sea Harrier is probbaly going to be quite hard, dodging one in an F-16C is probably going to be really easy

Hell dodging one in a tornado will probably be nigh impossible if its closer than 100km lol.

Well dodging an 9M in a tornado is hard
we will see what they will do but i feel everyone but USSR and USA is going to get screwed
Dodging a 9G is hard in a Tornado F3, but in an ideal world, a Tornado F3 should be a mile below anything with 9Ms (and they are finally about to be, only take a year)
Yeah, probably
I think it 's more likely to be the other way around: the 29SMT has reason for us to expect it to be restricted in AAM armament, it 's the least capable of the Fulcrum series which can carry guided a2g weapons and may very well be capped at BR for lineup purposes, more effective models like K and M/35 getting the better a2a weapons instead.
However, the 141 is the definite end of Yakovlev fighter development so it could reasonably be expected to continue being allowed to move up in capability ( and BR ) to maintain it 's end-of-tree position.( and, it 's high research costs )
At first I was going to say the Barak II, but then I remembered it never carried them
However, supposedly the radar for the F-16I Sufa was spotted in the files about 1-2 months ago, before Air Superiority came out…

Maybe, though that would still be an F-16. Would leave mutliple nations in the dust in terms of Flight performance
Japan is pretty easy next in line is F-15J MSIP with AIM-120B
F-2, aswell
Ehh depends F-2s only carries AAM-4s unlike F-15Js
Again, thats going to leave every other nation in the dust, unless they added like for like, which they cant do for Britain, France or Germany
With that in mind it would be
US: F-15
UK: Sea Harrier FA2/Tornado F3
Germany: F4F-ICE
Japan: F-15/F2
Israel: F-15/F-16
Sweden: Gripen C
USSR: Su-27
Italy: F-16A
France: Nothing?
China: J8-F/J-10
There 's still the gunpod for the Mirage 2000D RMV in the files, my personal speculation is that they’ll be given that plane w/ IIR AAM 's in place of their non-existent AMRAAM equivalent.

Yeah, thats possible
I don’t think Italy’s F-16 ADF will get AMRAAMs, gotta have something to stay at 12.0
They have the Harrier II+, which had them
They could always simultaneously add AMRAAM’s to worse airframes and good ones with a massive decompression surge. If they were ever going to do a major rebalance that would be the time to do it.

They could get a second F-16A though
