He means in terms of something balanced vs something like a Harrier 2 or F-4F
M2K is a good airframe and the PoK on MICA is incredibly high for a first generation ARH missile.
Yeah, that is what is needed, but we have a better chance of getting ASRAAM on the 11.3 Tornado F3

I think depending on how fox3 are implemented f4f ice and other similar gen 3 aircraft would simply sit a lower br. Not that its likely to be a good thing, just what I think the snail will do. I mean harrier gr.7 got aim9m and its still 11.0 in sim and 11.7 in air rb.
Sorry i had to edit first post.
Still Only ARH in France is MICA-EM.
If you give ARH to everyone, you need to give MICA-EM
And we all know from previous missiles in French TT that they would be nerfed accordingly to the “balance” and would stay nerfed even a years after similar missile would be implemented.
R.550 magic-2 still is nerfed for balance (50G missing[no point of using HMD on Mirage 2000-5F] IRCCM not on par with IRL one)

Unless they were more than a full BR below, it wont help. Tornado F3 at 11.3 vs F-16C and Mig-29SMT at 12.3 sucked and it was every match
If you see this " leaklist " floating around, know that it 's just Oliviia 's list w/ the non-naval stuff and cats cut off, not something new:

France only has MICA EM and Meteor as FOX-3s, but if we consider MICA and no late 4th gen airframe:
- Mirage F.1 MF.2000 / Moroccan Mirage F.1EM-VI
- Mirage 2000-5F (current one)
- Mirage 2000-B501
Only way its going to work. They’ll need to add a range of ARH, not just early ones and add better ones to older airframes and worse ones to newer airframes
Aim-120C on Tornado F3
MICA EM on M2k
etc etc
But Aim-120A on the F-15 for example
I genuinely don’t think the F-15As are gonna get AMRAAMs. F-15J might, though
There’s possibility that R-77 replacement R-27R & R-27T on MiG-29SMT (9-19) this year but gajin lazy add modern targeting pod 😢
Su-33 fill gap between Yak-38M & Yak-141 ?
F-16C (2010) or F-16CM from USAF fitted AN/APG-68(V)9 radar like F-16C Block 50/52 Plus and F-16I Sufa
0 chance that Japan get an F-15 with AMRAAM and the US dont

Its pretty clear what there doing…next is F-15C/J MSIP for U.S, Japan, Israel with early fox 3s

Probably the next big step, which I don’t see happening the update immediately after we first got the F-15s in game. I could see this happening probably by June, however.
I feel like March is gonna either add the F/A-18A (no AMRAAM) or AV-8B+ for the US

I’m hoping they drop hornet and let the aim120 spam begin full force.

Or maybe a totally insane idea. Maybe nothing?

Yeah i agree with that
It seems AIM-120A is possible as F-15 were in service up to 2007-2011
I feel like F-14D is more plausible,… to make people awaits.
Smaller than the possibility of not getting R-77. The targeting pod is not relevant to that.
More likely to be after the Su-27.
