Should EF2000s get AIM120C5?

Kinda makes sense when you consider the year of nothing but F3 Vs Italian F16s and German Mig29s too name it’s tri-nation equivalents for that year

you would think dominating nations would have more worse players because its popular and dominating = good
but 70% of US players are people that want abrums and f-15
thats why US wr is so bad

I didn’t say that.
Do you understand the meaning of population?

Being an US main or X main does NOT mean they’re automatically worse.
That’s just dumb.
What it means, however, that on AVERAGE, analysis indicates that the US-playing population performs far more average than other populations.
Are you trying to purposely misunderstand my argument?

dude you can repost the yapping wall as much as you want. You still have no evidence for the whole basis of your argument which is “Rafale players are just all really good”

Okay, now you’re mostly certainly trolling or just shockingly thicker than I thought you would be.
The empirical proof is there.
Feel free to come back when you have an actual argument.

yeah sure the F18 is in a tough spot but protecting the F18 is not more important than closing the field between the Rafale, SU, EF and F15

ok then that contradicts the argument made by the previous guy, since he said france is dominating so it brings in good player. Then USA must be struggling to bring in bad players? Or do players just love to come to USA and get gunned down by other people? On the same spectrum why is challenger performing so badly? why is Merkava performing so badly? Is isreali and british player also MUH challanger or Muh makava?

Perhapse air rb player have different mindset then ground rb players but idk I’m not a gaijin staff.

Its just not empirical proof tho? There would be no difference in the stats between Rafale being busted or Rafale players being busted

What does ground vehicles even have to do with this?
We’re talking about air, which has way different mechanics to GRB.
That’s just irrelevant.

Ok so by comperason being an us main (or when playing usa) does mean your just expected on average over a long term to perfrom more average then other country?

As long as it brings everyone who gets it closer to the Benchmark (Rafale) its still the right direction

sorry another person brought up the muh abrum argument I just had to pull it out man, I’m sorry.

I would be fine with that if they also decide to move the Rafale, EFT and F-15E/I to 14.3.

This way the Hornets and maybe the Su-30SM can stay at 14.0 and some of the more dominant 13.7s can be decompressed to 14.0.

Sure decompression would be the best solution but Gaijin seems to be allergic to that

The same could pretty much be said for any missile that has multiple variants. AIM-9, AIM-7 etc. The addition of new variants doesn’t lead to the removal of the older ones on all aircraft.

That’s just false because it assumes the two causes produce indistinguishable statistical patterns, which is false in practice.

If the Rafale itself is as absurdly broken as you’d say, you would expect:

  • Broad-based overperformance: High win rate (W/R), K/D, K/S, etc., across the board a wide pool of players.
  • Minimal performance drop-off when used by average or low-skill players.

But that’s simply not the case.
The Rafale still performs exceptionally well (way too well), but these statistical readings are not completely ruining ARB for anything outside of the Rafale-- which is what would happen if we took these at face value…

Ok but then by that argument, if being an us main doesn’t mean your automatically worse, then why on AVERAGE, analysis indicates that the US-playing population performs far more average than other populations? Like something isn’t adding up here. Why is one country just performing more average than other population? Especially if that said one population can switch to a different one. How come the same person perfrom worse on a us vehicle? But better on another countrys vehicle? That doesn’t make sense to me.

no cuz those 2 are just straight ass
they have
no armor
no survivability
no speed
big ass target
meh lineups

Yes — that’s exactly the point. Trees like the U.S. one tend to attract a much larger, more casual player base because it’s popular and beginner-friendly.That dilutes average performance stats
Meaning that statistically speaking, you are expected to perform more averagely. That, however, does not mean you will be. You may be to the right or left of the distribution graph.
By contrast, minor nations or newer top-tier jets (like the Rafale) often attract a more invested or meta-savvy group, which artificially inflates performance metrics — even if the aircraft isn’t wildly OP on paper.

Yes but suddenly in abrams case it is because the players are bad that cause the winrate to be low? But vehicle from different tec tree shouldn’t determind how we assest their perfromance right?
