Storm Warning - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

They are dominating which can be clearly seen by win ratios and kd’s. You shouldn’t have an opinion on that since you mention people who “need to know if they want to perform”, yet you have 26 planes and you have a negative k/d in EVERY SINGLE ONE. I have both russian and american top tier and only the su27sm has a higher k/d than the american aircraft (1.7), which i have played much less in. The rest of my Russian aircraft hang at low 1.3’s in K/d, while most of my american top tier is 1.5+. Or if i go slightly down for example, my av8b+ and f5e, or even the f104 all have k/d’s of 3 which is insane. No other planes in my playercard reach those numbers, apart from maybe the gripen when it was still cracked

Yes, it has an Aim designation, but the US never used it.

I don’t remember the US actually picking up the ASRAAMs

AIM-260 isn’t in service yet, AIM-174 won’t fit and, AIM-132 was rejected by the US in favour of the AIM-9X

Nope, they were going to, and then pulled out and developed the Aim-9X instead which is overall inferior.

Interesting that is a lot of ordinance. What are they preparing for mission 11 project wingman?

you can say aim260 has 200 kms range (like meteor) just for balance we dont need to take it so religiously, or aim120D3, does it rlly matter? I mean if you think about it even AIM120A’s stat card in game has 0 confirmation of it actually being true, the only thing we know is that the first models didnt necessarily have more than 20kms of no escape zone

at the end of the day its just a game, so probably just assuming some ranges wouldnt be the end of the world, that if you dont want CIA to just delete the game and lock everyone up LOL

given meteors NEZ is around 50-60km, 20km nez on 120A is pretty damn good

yh i think my 120B has 17 or 18 its weird cuz sometimes even at 23 it happened to go pitbull so its very weird but whatever, i still think theres 0 proof of it actually being that range, maybe its more maybe it less, gaijin is already assuming the ranges, or maybe they have sekrit dokumentz but - CIA/NSA exists

Sure, but the other two missiles you mentioned aren’t going to help the US F-35 and you said:

Which sounds a lot like you advocating for the US just having better things than everyone else

we have some numbers for amraam from brits, iirc its still underperforming by a little

Wasn’t this just a mock up

The NEZ on the 120A is less than 20km

How am i advocating for that if i said that maybe meteor should be equalized with aim260…do you really think europe made something THAT MUCH better than US…? US who literally traded tech with EU…???

also im extremely far from being american so dont even start with that argument

he gave an estimation, calm down

Yes, they did. This is a known fact.

Meteor is vastly superior to Aim-120
ASRAAM/IRIS-T is vastly superior to Aim-9X

The Meteor has been in service since 2016, the AIM-260 isn’t in service yet, the ASRAAM and IRIS-T are both better than the 9X, yes, I believe Europe has made things than what the US currently have

US stuff usually isn’t better, it is cheaper and more readily available, which is why it is more commonly used

9X2 has 100g too and 25kms range or more… and they are working on the third version too

US stuff is WAY more expensive, wtf are u even talking about? isnt meteor literally 20M a piece? its at best around the same
