yep
My publication was focused solely and exclusively on Air RB, in which the most dominant nation and the one that breaks the game most frequently is the US, and I’ll give you some bizarre examples.
As in the danger zone update that the f14A was 11.3 and faces vehicles like j35D and migare III E, With this update, the US also received the Fox3 mechanics almost 2 years before everyone else.
f104A terrorizing down tier aircraft for years.
f5 and f16A with FM from ufu that were never touched.
People always talk about the dominance of the R27ER and ET but they forget that the F15A was smaller br than the SU27, Gripen and Mirage 4000. (he was 12.3 while the others were 12.7)
Do I need to remind you of the damage that F14A IRAF did to the game?
aim120’s complete meta dominance that lasted almost 8 months.
f18A and f16A in the same br as kunnas 2000, f4ej kai and jh7A.
The few times that other nations stood out in the air rb were very out of the curve points, practically rare occasions that this happened,I know how Rafael hasn’t been nerfed to the ground yet.
American planes ceased to be completely dominant with the arrival of the Eurocanards, two of which use the same armament as American planes, the only exception being the Rafale.
I play with several nations in the game, I grinded 5 minor nations before starting to grind the US and I guarantee you that in air rb the US bothers infinitely more than the Russians or any other nation.

well the main problem with your first comment is thinking the 120c-5 extended the range by much, to get any extra range out of it you need to be at 38,000 feet altitude which is still only giving it 12 more miles then the 120b

yes and thats why i personally would say it is a kill on a F-15
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
19 km more is a lot, It’s practically the distance a mica travels within the game, 5C travels the distance of an aim120ab + a mica
The key word there was at 38000 feet, on a target at 38000 feet, that isn’t maneuvering.
and if you want to go with that, ok.
Mica has more range then the 120c at 4000 ft altitude
to be specific it has 1.8 mile more range then the 120c

If these values are insignificant for you, then why add a new missile?
thats what ive been wanting to know.
its essentially a situationally based 120.
if you carry 4120b 2 120c and 2 sidewinders, you climb to 30k fire 2 120c descend into the melee with the 120b and sidesinders, other then that, I don’t know why they added it.
its rare to see anyone over 30,000 so the actual gain of a 120c is only going to be at its 16,000-30,000 which is about 5 miles, 2 miles if the target is below you
which is precisely the perfect scenario for an f15/E.
This is already a big gain, compared to other nations, and remembering that we are still in the first Sever dev, there will probably be more modifications and possibly improvements in the 5C, gaijin wouldn’t bother to make a new missile for nothing
Wrong, those countries were too poor to have MiG 23s. They were fighting MiG 19s and 21s.

Hey, having an even playing field is not how the US operates. They have to have complete dominance…or else.

2-5 miles on a non manuevering target quickly reduces in a real match as no one flys straight unless they are AFK. I hope they dont modify it to make it better, its a slightly upgraded and yet slight downgraded missile depending on how you use it.

Won’t even deploy their “best” plane if they don’t have dominance already
Only because it was expensive to repair and not worth it. If an A-10 gets hit by an AK round and they later put it in a boneyard is that a kill 🤣
What matters is that it got back to base
it matters that the F-15 never flew again
if a soldier losses a leg he might as well be dead on the battlefield

If it doesn’t fly again then it is downed. It may not be a loss, but it still is one less plane flying.

I said probably.
The F-15C pilot said he was doing a steep defensive maneuver and then the Iraqis lost radar contact which is why they thought it was shot down.
There are also no serials known of so I cant check if it flew after
The missile was already in the game files, same as the R-77-1.
Also:
lol, lmao even, as if the minor nations you grinded doesn’t have a form of the so broken AIM-120 when the only countries in the entire game that doesn’t have them are the USSR and China.
Keep the covert nation-based copium high.

they had but they all were on worse airframes for the 120 meta than the US
Germany had it on the worst rank 8 Airframe
Isreal had it on a F-15 without any DL channels and on their F-16 they had the Derby
France didnt had anything with the AIM-120
Britain, Sweden and Italy all had it on the Gripen which has bad acceleration and low top speed
the only nation, besides the US, that didnt had it on a subpar airframe for the spamraam meta was Japan
