If EX doesn’t come with AMBER, the US mains will whine until they get it.

Probably, they aren’t satisfied until they have a whole cake and to eat it too… But hey, I haven’t spent several months researching US tech tree for nothing, if i can get an Eagle with comically large missile count - i won’t say no to that.

What’s your U.S. TT look like atm? I highly recommend the F-16C (13.7) and the F-15E. They aren’t top tier, but they’re both pretty fun.
Especially the 15E, that thing is like a rocket.
I am focusing down Giggle right now. My whole plan was to get F-15A and clown on 11.7-12.0 but i still have plenty of premium time and US tree is quite strong and easy to pick up so i probably will finish it entirely
Althought going for F-15E will take quite a while

The 13.3 F-16 is also super good, It’s a good counter to the MKK/MK2. I’ve put a ton of time on the F-16C as well, it’s one of my favorite planes by far.
I think it’s worth it, It’s stupidly fast and has a massive payload.
If you’re ever low on SL it’s also great at farming that.
Especially with unstoppable wagers, since you can bring a full thing of AMRAAMS, and still bring 6 Mavricks, and 4 GBU-39 (or ditch 4 AMRAAMs to carry 20 GBU-39s.)
You’ll make at least 700k SL in like… an hour.
I’ve done this more than just a few times…

i already have it in Italian tree, so i think i’ll skip on US one, don’t want to go trough this again
Yeah, i saw how much ordnance it can get, quite stupid amounts. Well, getting it will be ralitively easy, since you pretty much have something very strong or borderline OP at every rank in US tree

So true. 43k for AMRAAMs is too much.
It’s worth it.
It’s good at BVR, It’s good at CAS, It’s got a decent flight model. Plus it’s at a pretty forgiving BR.
Honestly, only thing i really hate about the Eagle is the fanboys. I haven’t met more obnoxious crowd, maybe outside of F-22 and F-35 fanboys. On it’s own it’s a beautiful jet and amazing platform.
Shittiest Fox-3 worth a king’s ransom
the amount of US mains that i killed in a dogfight makes you think that F-15s are ass in general. Until i picked them up myself that is lmao

Even though I love the F-35 that’s so true.
Also F-22 fans are so annoying. They fail to see any flaws in the plane.
Could be worse. It could be a Derby.
most U.S. players can’t comprehend the concept of dogfighting outside of “Hold down the elevator”

Giving US mains AOA button was the biggest nerf gaijin ever done to US tech tree.
Isn’t Derby better than AMRUM at close ranges?
Me when i have to somehow find an excuse for an aircraft to cost like 4x the price of an F-15

On the F-18… it’s alright, but on the F-15s there’s like no purpose, you just lose speed and barely get anything in return. At least it isn’t as bad as the J-10.
At super close ranges maybe, last I checked the AMRAAM beat at anything past like 6km.
Excuse:
It’s cool.
Damn man you grinded the line fast, will you go for the PooBit as well?
I’m working on getting the PoBIT and J-15T currently.
I REALLY want the PoBIT, since I loveeeeeeeeeeee the F-16C.
It’s easy to be good in good jets ¯_(ツ)_/¯
you can see my entire US line here
This i don’t know. I never was a huge fan of F-16, it’s design just never clicked with me, so i probably will leave for for the very last. Also having only 6 missiles makes me psychologically tense, to low of a number for being comfortable.

Getting back on a Flanker topic - Gaijin, there is a nice free spot to slap Su-30M2 at 13.3, since we are in a freak world where it is considered fair and balanced. We can even give it dual pylons just to piss everyone even more

I’ve heard this alot before.
The F-16 is really good, but it’s hard to get into if you didn’t play them when they came out. Especially the later models.
If you got used to the F-16C when it came out with 9Ms, you’d probably like it more.
Also give it R-77-1, just cuz.

Oh, gameplay wise i liked italian ADF. I mean visual design of F-16 in general. Just doesn’t bring anything in me

even just making M2 a carbon copy of MK2 will be amazing because it will keep the tradition of making Fulcrum at the same br obsolete.

I used to feel like that as well, but like, I dunno.
At some point I started liking it. It maybe just Stockholm syndrome.
Also the F-16C is also busted at CAS, It’s like a F-15E but 2 less Paveway IIIs and MUCH harder to kill. (It’s smaller and move maneuverable.)
