The arrival of the aim120C took several players by surprise (including me), as no one expected this version of the aim120 before the end of the year, perhaps even later.
I understand the arrival of the aim120 in the f18 because the plane is slower than the rest and really needed a “buff” to stay at 14.0.
But his arrival in other planes and exclusion of others raised some doubts.
The first is; Why won’t the eurofighter receive the aim120C?
and if the f15I will also receive it?
What happened to the missiles that are artificially nerfed because they have similar performance to the aim120C-5 like the pl12 and aam4, did they receive buffs to operate with 100% of their capabilities or did they continue to be nerfed?
About MICA, will their range be extended?
Missiles that have poor performance like derby/R-darter received buffs or planes received updated versions like i-derby?
How are the r77 and r77-1? Will they still have problems with their drag coefficients or have they received buffs?
yes they will, because instead of fixing the problem gaijin just added a better missile
Yes, the E and I get them.
Knowing Gaijin, you will end up with the US dominating yet another BR in air RB, and dominating top tier again for the next 3 months without any other fixes or additions if the F-15s actually get the 120C-5s on the live server.
The forums would be on fire if a Russian plane got a buff this big, but since it’s American people will defend the change with their life. This change is just pure bias, and it’s actually real this time.
It looks like a desperate attempt by the gaijin to somehow increase the stats of US players.
The problem is that you can’t balance the players, just the vehicles.
The problem is that every time this happens the balance tips heavily towards the American side.
Aways break the game
You already have people defending it, and saying that America needs it because American jets are bad and need buffs.
It’s been added to 3 tt other than US, not to mention the German and Finnish hornets have features which have been arbitrarily withheld from the US one.
But yeah I did not expect it, could’ve been earlier C instead and caused less issues
tbf, it only got added to F-18s, which probably actually does need it. It being added to the F-15E and derivative still does not make sense at all
I don’t have an issue with it coming on the Hornets, I’ve always assumed they would be the first to get them. I do have an issue with them coming on the F-15E/I, because those planes aren’t performing super bad, and don’t need them.
Agreed. I’d rather them be on a 14.0 C varaint, than the E at the same BR.
I meant AIM-120C-3 or 4, not an F-15C lol
But yeah an F-15C late with AESA, BOL (though this should be on every American F-15), and 120C’s would have been nice
which is INSANE. I hate these good for nothing players, truthfully. Its not fair the worst players get to dictate the whole game.
American air must be handcrushed at all costs
SU-30SM and F/A-18C get new missiles for their bad flight performance, especially in speed.
but I don’t see necessity of giving it to F-15 which is already a really fast BVR plane.
Doesn’t change only one plane from Germany, Israel, and Sweden gets AIM 120Cs (being worse versions of American Copy-Paste) while America gets it on multiple planes
they are not
German is identical to US
both Israel and Sweden versions have more countermeasures than the US ones so they are objectively better
ngl this is a bit over hyped, as they are now the aim120c-5 is only marginally better than the B it only has more range dude to a longer seeker duration but if your getting hit by an aim120 at 50km gliding at sub mack 2 you kinda just suck
Even if its the case, i bet on my damn life you never said it the other way around, not even with X38MTs/R-27ERs introductions. You always fell under the ‘it’s not x-nation bias, it’s money bias’, so i guess now it’s the case all over again, though its so much easier for you to say it one way than both.
Anyway.
Russia gets a permanent buff on the ground and for CAS. So let the US at least get something somewhere.
Meh, the US is always the best at everything because export upgrades are marketing lies and, apparently, they doesn’t appear ingame.
It’s easier for many here to say ‘The american bias is real.’ instead of the other one that has an overwhelmingly obvious difference of influx across the whole internet. That’s the gaslight i’m referring to since the start of this devserver.
I swear… Everyone talks crap about the US getting things but never really say much about when other nations get things that are crazy… Should we talk about some Russian battleships that are coming out this patch? How about some Russian AA that has been having fun for awhile? Certain A2G missile Russia has? No? These things are fine? Gotcha
AIM-120C-5 was given to 4 or 5 countries if I’m not mistaken.
