My only ARH experience is with F-4F but isn’t like most gameplay are either launching all at high altitude and hope your opponent is AFK or SARH-like one launch per engagement?
Everybody can want whatever aircraft they want but F-16 would not be DoA or please just 1 one missile bro it will solve our problems is going to solve problems.
Let the aircraft be 14.0 for example (Because AESA or more missiles does not automatically increase BR, check F-2). It has the chance to not see other ESA fighters.
I think this is more of a all round filler update (not in a bad way) along the lines of “Alpha Strike”, which had a more rounded trailer iirc.
Problem is that the PoBIT is really the only US option, since the other more modern F-16 blocks have only been exported (and besides that even stuff like the Block 70 would likely still be mediocre in the current 14.3-14.7 meta).
Gripen E in trailer (literally only added 2 days before dev closed lmao) just saying I think an all around balanced trailer is just a false statement. It’s never balanced as it’s always biased towards one group even if someone is getting something super important it would be like adding the F22 as the first 5th gen and ignoring the US entirely for the trailer.
I think those will absolutely be one of the main parts of the trailer, but with all the teasing I’m sure they’ll put a couple of shots of the US mystery top tier jet in there.
Besides that, iirc all but 2 (3 if you count the ADF, but that was a slightly special case) of the US 4th gen jets added in the last years have been revealed in the trailers.
Still teeming over the fact they teased even more interesting aircraft for Hungary in the Hawks blog I mean the Hawk II is as unique you can get so what is more interesting than them ?
1st third shows the U.S jet.
2nd third: Hungarian flag showing some of the planes followed up by some shots of these.
3rd half: some of the other stuff.
