Yeah, sure. Getting MCM’d by everything with more AAMs than you was a hugely balanced gameplay loop. I’m sure the PoBIT doesn’t suffer from too few AAMs either.
15EX will barely be better than the GE on arrival without superior armament, and certainly not to the extent that everybody glazes it to be. Really not difficult to find what the EX is certified to do - spoiler, it’s really not much at the moment.
wait a second, so it would be an
to make its addition worthwhile? i dont see why the EX should be held to a harsher standard than most other top tier jets
Same thing according to Leo lol
No? Why would it need to be better than the GE? Just because you want it to be artificially buffed does not mean it will be. The GE could already sit at 14.7 fairly comfortably as it still has a higher kill per spawn than 2/3 of the AESA typhoons. Given the EX is probably significantly more likely to get NG AAMs than the GE, it’s almost certainly not going to get the same artificial buff.
This is common sense. Whilst I would love for the EX to get MRML racks and be able to sling 16 AAMs at mach 2 from across the map, it’s simply nonsensical to imagine that will be the case - and certainly not on a western aircraft at that.
Such as?
player problem.
what NG AAM could EX get that we know anything about?
As if US air mains are the most intelligent playerbase.
D-3? C-7?
How would C-7 be “NG” or next-gen compared to the AIM-120D that’s currently in-game?
With Gaijin’s implementation? lol.
“next generation”
thats worse than what we have now
Let me clarify this again, why would an older less advanced missile be more next-generation than a missile that’s an upgrade irl over it?
Reskinned AIM-120D vs reskinned AIM-120C-5
We also have both the C-7 and D ingame, and we see the C-7 being worse than the D as it is right now.
Yes, that is the next generation of AAMs to be added. Correct.
What we have now is just below equivalence to a C-7.
Ground launched AAM performs worse than air launched? Woah, shocker
thats like AIM-7M to AIM-7P, next gen is like AIM-7M to AIM-120A
The C-7 in-game has the same missile stats as the C-5, regardless of ground or air launched.
sure thing.
Okay, and? That’s Gaijin’s fault, not mine. A correct implementation of the C-7 is still yet to come to aircraft.
