Guess CV90120 has no bias going for it I guess

The USAF jumped from the AGM-88D Block V to the -88J(SiAW), which has been tested on the F-16 as the planned integration of the -88G had some funding issues, and delays and is intended for select European FMS F-16 clients (otherwise the -88F is on offer, which basically an improved Passive seeker kit) but is otherwise carried by Italian and German Tornados (?IDS/ ECR?)
as the Baseline AARGM program was actually a joint USN, USMC, Italian Airforce program.

didnt USAF get AGM-88F?
It depends on the 5th gen to be honest.
The F-22 and Su-57, for example, are built to dogfight, and can certainly go toe to toe with the Eurocanards and Flankers. The F-22 is well known for having to be heavily handicapped during mock dogfights for other planes to even have a chance.
The F-35, on the other hand, varies from being a rough F-16C equivalent (F-35A) to worse (F-35B/C). Not to mention a large number of systems present on these planes are not present in game (EW, Link 16, etc.). So realistically there isn’t much of a reason to add them yet until those systems are ready to be added. The various F-35s will also be the majority of 5th gens added to the game of course.
But if any of the better dogfighter 5th gens get added, they will do extremely well, even if Gaijin gimps them.

Not really, it was tested by the USAF for integration on the F-16 airframe for select clients like Taiwan and is basically an remanufactured early AGM-88B, with GPS/INS to give it some capability against the radar going off the air since the INS it otherwise depends on can be very inaccurate if it occurs before the missile is in the terminal phase as the F-16s, sans ASQ-213 lack the equipment for the more accurate modes and need to rely on either the RWR or Seeker which significantly reduces both accuracy and range.

The problem with the F-35 airframe is going to be that their loadouts are anemic at best, with at most ~2-6 A2A missiles(depending on how gaijin model blocks it could be far worse if we get limited to early Block configurations, some don’t get a gunpod, and the internal Gun was not certified for use either) at best, so have far less staying power.
And due to said concessions the A2G capabilities involve trading your limited A2A stores, for either a JDAM or quad rack of SDBs.
so USAF never got GPS HARM operational but can get it (and AARGM) through technical compatibility?
only saving grace will be internal AARGM-ER/SiAW and sidekick (but not at same time) if they allow
They do though the later Blocks of AGM-88C & -D, its that these weren’t widely made available for export to all FMS clients, the -88F is refitting those exported missiles to a more modern standard, it’s like the AIM-9P3 , -9P4, -9P5 & -9S to leave some nations with an edge over others depending on how closely they were tied to Washington, or limited what technology was transferred to retain an edge should it fall into others hands(or built in bypass measures, for example it is known that the ALQ-144(V) defeats the -9P5 outright).

That’s a future Block 4 capability and it’s been stated that we won’t said capabilities until they are delivered, so it’s going to be a while.
the Raptor could come without stealth and be top 3 airframes easily
TR-3 does not have the necessary software upgrades?

Why does the replay always lack the player’s actual perspective? As you can see, you can’t click to switch it.
i just get my shuteye then wake up and start asking and coping about the challenger 2 again, the best way to live :D
