EX and Su35/57 as a ‘counterpart’ is laughable, and as stated, they are the best things until F-22/35 basically
Neither, they could’ve waited a year, and gaijin could’ve buffed Gripen instead of adding literal UFOs
Then why are all of these not here? They’d be closer to counterparts than what we have lol, what’s your point
Because adding powercreep to counter powercreep is dumb
Include the Iranian tomcat in there. I’ve seen people that love to say that it’s the worst 13.0 :p (it is unbelievably strong for event grinding)

F15EX would probably be fine but 5th gen would be crazy powercreep
Im gonna guess they will add it with the missing 14.3s of the other tech trees next update

Well that requires thinking, and gaijin doesn’t do that often.

If you put only powercreeps together, are they still powercreeps?
What you are asking for is the death of war thunder air, gaijin is going to delay 5th gens as long as possible
If anything, it seems like gaijin is trying to rush to 5th gen. Also, remember they originally planned for 5th gen to come in the december update 🫠
Anyhow, as it stands, It’s certainly not a great 14.3 but I’ll definitely be playing it regardless cause of my love for eagles.
I’m not saying we need 5th gen, but gen 4.5 counterparts would be fine if balanced properly. The main problem if I understand correctly is that the amraams are so bad in game, which isn’t quite realistic. You probably know that weapons are the main balancing factor
Amraams need their artificial nerf lifted, as this will balance the meta for everyone

For sure. So, my point is that eurocanards being broken is not unpreventable
It’s unpreventable because they were added a year early, they don’t have any non-5th gen counterparts irl so thats why its problematic
i wish the best for the few last strong usa main, seeing how the player base got and how gaijin is only think about money and time consuming grind
werent non-US F-16’s better, as always because gaijin hates giving the US the best version of its own stuff
F-15JM and F-15I were and are both better than the C and E for air. it took a lot to get even the slightest parity to the F-15I with getting PW-229 engines, they never shouldve added the F-15I with the 220 E

Gaijin should have added something to balance it though. Some other 4.5s could have prevented the Rafale dominance
