This is Gaijin, I would fully expect them to drop the F-22 before adding any other 5th gen
The F-22 isn’t that good anyways lmao
no im biased against you lmao, you have only ever shown to care if the US is on top, I think the US and China should get buffed and get better planes to compete but locking 5th gens to only 3 nations for no other reason then “we can” isnt balance

Hey, I’ll take it gladly so tired of using aim9m.

Not almost everyone received one. And 3 countries are getting 5th gens.
Balance aside they aren’t adding 90% of the planes of an entire generation in one update. That’s like adding Su-27, F-15, MiG-29, F-16, F-18, J-11, Gripen, and F-14 in one update
oh I know, cant wait for the complaints its the worst 5th gen IIR missile, oh well ASRAAM and PIRATE is gonna be fun

except it isn’t, its 4 planes not 8
Anything that’s even remotely an upgrade to the 9M is welcome. the AIM-9M is the AIM-9B of toptier. Hell I’d rather take AIM-9B’s instead of them.

Yep, but them vs everyone else is just gunna be hilarious complaints. Gunna be dozens of reports begging for ASRAAMs or IRIS-Ts on everything
When there are only 4 5th gen planes currently in service, not adding most in one update wouldn’t make any sense.
No doubt but having a missile that should actually attempt to track and not just do everything possible to not hit will be nice.
I am expecting gaijin to implement next gen IR missiles as dual IRCCM (like they are currently on SAMs afaik) and just completely avoid IIR for the sake of balance. which like… i kinda agree with to an extent.
Well the wait between F-22 and F-35 is still going to be shorter than the wait for a competitive US top tier jet.
It’s also better to wait since the F-35 depends more on stuff that isn’t in game yet and is probably still in development
me when I look at the planes that are 5th gens and there are 4 and only one isnt being added meaning they are adding the majority of 5th gens

Yuppers, even if it’ll be the worst it’ll still be a 5 to 10km delete stick (this is assuming gajin models the seekers correctly)
Still will be really good it as it already smacks planes from ground launch platforms in-game. Plus, one thing it has over many IIR missiles is data link at least with blk2 version.

Yeah. Though as we know. Aim-9M being able to track a target is just a marketing lie
“possible research tree rework”
Gaijin, you know where to find me

I doubt AIM-9X will end up being as bad as you think it will be. Then again your a British main so i am fully expecting to see you complain when ASRAAM and Meteor aren’t the ultra giga kill machine 5000 you think they should be.

The IRCCM on the 9M just means it takes out flares and other heat sources so other missiles can track the target.
FC-31, J-35, KAAN, YF-23, X-32, YF-22? What about those ones
