I don’t think America is weak, nor that it lacks competitiveness, but even if it did, it wouldn’t do something that would simply make America too strong.
Everyone gets limited to six missiles. Everyone’s top speed is nerfed to the same speed as the slow F/A-18. AOA and handling performance is all nerf to the same state. All missiles are reduced to the Aim-9M specs, Aim-7M, and Aim-120C. No 40g pull, no Mach 5, its all the same.
Because allowing the US to have the particular air doctrine it decides to go into is just too OP. While the US went with stealth over high speed and maneuverablity, we wouldn’t want to force anyone else to have to adapt and overcome. Just like the US suffer at top tier air. That is an incredible stance to hold.

Block 2 jsut adds lofting and optimized trajectories and datalink.
It’s the exact as 9x otherwise

I thought the block 1 used the same motor as the 9M, no?
all 9X use 9M motor
Indeed
It is.
Mate, I have all the top tier American aircraft, literally all of them, and I don’t think they’re bad. In fact, I think they’re very good. For example, the F-15E and Golden Eagle are incredible. I really like the F-18 Super Hornet and I liked the previous one too. I didn’t feel limited by missiles or speed.
The Rafael and EFT/Typhoon are the meta and have been since implementation. With the Su-30 and Chinese counter part following closely.
Don’t the block II use a different motor? I could’ve sworn i read that, and they do in WT.

China counterparts aren’t even close to the Russian flankers (until this upcoming patch)
There’s a reason why the Chinese flanker is at 13.7 while the Russian top tier ones are at 14.3/7
Then why you’re carrying that gap of stats between the GE-F/A-18E and the Rafale-Typhoon if they’re “very good.”? Simple, playing them up for the love of the game.
Perform better and I’ll take your word. Until then, you’re just whining over things you can’t even back up by your own facts.
Really? Ig I’m wrong
They typically hold their own in Air Sim but they are also on the same side as the Russian Su-30 so to a degree, I would agree.
It still carries Mavericks, sad to see.
mate, I have Eurofighters and Rafales, I admit that they are more brain dead gameplay and easier to play, but I don’t think the Americans are simply weaker, but that’s just my opinion.
nvm they are slightly different

This is a semantic contradiction. A couple planes cannot be more braindead than others while the rest isn’t weaker to some reasonable extent at the same time.
In other words, you can’t say there’s better knifes without implying there are worse by nature.
It has nothing to do with it. The Russian CAS is easier to use than the others, but that doesn’t mean that a Gripen E or a Eurofighter AESA isn’t better at CAS if played well.
