If they can slave to the EOTS then that’ll be a fairly devious strategy, inb4 stealth crossmap sniping with IR missiles

that’s kind of already the f22 when you think about it since its the only 5th gen with 8 internal missiles it would 1000% be the most meta 5th gen in war thunder
It’s War Thunder, so no they’re going to nerf it into the ground.
If balance is a concern, it certainly hasnt been at the forefront for a few updates now. The Rafale has pretty much been the meta since its introduction, with the Eurofighter/Typhoon being close seconds. The Russian Su-30 has been no slouch either in Air Sim, and France is often on RedFor. Now we have this new variant to contend with.
If we were being honest here, the US hasnt been in the meta since the F-14, which was added in June 2022 in case you don’t temember. So if any US main was pushing their nation to top dog status, you can hardly blame them going on 3 years of not being such. And you can’t even claim they’re the dominant CAS option at top tier with the questionable existence of the KH-38MT.
So yeah, Id be cool with the US keeping the US-made F-35 solo for at least an update.
Holy UK cope

Well, if the US doesn’t get Meteors because of Gaijin’s “tested” policy, it ain’t gonna be fun for them to fight with MIDraam’s.
Your never gonna be in a situation in 5gen aircraft where you can detect your target beyond the range of a aim120D, the F35 is both way slower and carries half the missiles of the F22 i assure you US players are not worried about the British F35
Yep, the british F35 could just use the IRST instead to get a far away ASRAAM shot, when the US f35 is limited to 9X’s.

j-35 got 6 internal missile + 2 ir on the side.
f-35 is stuck only with 4 fox3 and 2 ir missiles

both 9x and asraam are a free kill at close range so i dont see your point, you would also be in radar range for both jets way before that so it would be a fox 3 fight first and the meteor isnt all that cracked close range either
Unlike amraams that have an easy to dodge seeker in wt, meteors would have a further developed MICA seeker, so even in the worst case scenario it’s still a better option.
that’s not how warthunder works my guy the devs will simply give both aim120D and Meteor the same seeker template for “next gen Fox3”
no uk/italy will get meteor f35 while usa f35 will be stuck aim120d
Buk’s ARH missile casually having the best seeker of 3.5 angle half sensitivity(F0V). I wonder who is topping that. Meteor? pl15s with aesa? lolol. Anyway ER smash cuz fox1 seekers> Fox3 seekers in general
did you even read what i said???
What about JATM-260 ? Does it have AESA ?
