Yep, statements like that drive me nuts.

I mean again doesnt change atm the US is behind as the AIM260 isnt cleared for service things like the Meteor are
Why does everyone want the MiG-29K? Afaik it only has 32 CMs and is just a slightly better MiG-29SMT.
Why not cope for the MiG-29M instead? Much better plane anyways
2 R-27ETs, 4 R-77s and 2 R-73s is a very nice loadout

ye we are behind but flight testing started a few years ago, so it isnt as far behind as some ppl think
Ssshhh… It will be free kills for the Typhoon and Rafale that will make stock farming really easy
so do you think Typhoon is coming soon? I have begun to doubt and fear we will be seeing F 18s everywhere.
This leak is faker than Gaijins love for minor nations!
I don’t believe this list at all. It’s either Yukari’s or from the discord leak server that is authoritative information.
Honestly… I Just cant see any reason to wait after the F-15E with 229 engines was added. Literally nothing we could get that would hope to go toe to toe with that.
Yes, Britain and Germany could get F-18s (though Britain that is only the F-18A, so not really top tier) but France and Italy would be really screwed.

I mean, Australia does have super hornets right?
yeah idk gaijin has a tendency to leave minor nations until there new jets are are either only on par or worse, I can see the F15E and F15I being better then trenche 1 EFTs
I have no idea.
MiG-29M would be a dream for the game, it would basically a more F-15ish J10 in terms of gameplay. Thing is gaijin probably wants to do naval update, that’s why most say MiG-29K.
That said the original 80s early 90s MiG-29K is basically a navalized 80s MiG-29M with 120cm, and the later one should have additional CM pods SMT style

Afaik it goes significantly farther *then AMRAAM
They do but that’s unlikely to come soon. As we are looking at just getting the legacies.
So if the UK was getting a Hornets with the others it comes down to(and this is the only time we would see this either or for Hornets as the possibility for the CF-188 goes out the window after this(unlike the Aussie with their Supers):
CF-188 IMP I
or
RAAF F/A-18A HUG P.2
(If my info on the Aussie upgrades is correct. From the words of other people)
It honestly seems like a very fun off meta plane, just like the M2K.
It would certainly be nothing meta breaking but I would grind it out 100%

If it was added with seek and destroy it would probably have been right below the meta, now it would probably sit between 3rd and 5th place together with M2K and J-10 (we all know who the 2 best planes are).
That said it would mostly be held back by the R-77, because apart from being the first good dogfighter in the USSR tree since MiG-29As it is also, like the 29A, very fast and with great acceleration. If engine thrust curve is similar to the 29A (it is probably much better at low speed because intakes were fully redesigned) it would be second only to the F-15E in terms of T/W ratio

Didn’t get a bingo last update, but I have hope for this one

The extra thrust would always be welcome for any scenario, a Russian fighter actually capable of semi-competitive BVRing compared to F-15s would also be very welcome.
The only major drawback I can see would be the 4 datalink channels so you can’t just totally F-15 it and fire all your R-77s at once. Not a huge issue if you play like a normal person though lol
