So basically American mains are so bad that they literally need every handicap in the game

Yes, been like that since the f14 was added

Yes actually. Cuz the EFT doesn’t have a 1.67 KDR, 1.22 KPS, and 66.3% WR. Being generally much closer to the other 14.0’s in performance, I think the call for it to get the AIM-120C-5 is much more reasonable one, particularly since it still needs to catch up to the Rafale along with all the other 14.0 jets.
That being said, as the end of that statement of mine you quoted states, it may not need the AIM-120C-5 yet. It may remain competitive with the other jets that are currently receiving the AIM-120C-5. I’m on the fence as to if I support the idea or think it should wait and see.
I’ve also already stated this before, but all the other top tier jets in-game are relatively well balanced, the Rafale on the other hand, is a MASSIVE problem. Between the worst performing 14.0 (F-15I) and the best performing EFT, the difference in KDR is 0.23, and the difference in KPS is 0.22. Between the Rafale and the second best performing 14.0 (british EFT), the difference in KDR is 0.48, and the difference in KPS is 0.3.
The difference between the Rafale and the second best 14.0 is double that of the difference between the second best 14.0 and the worst 14.0. You’d have to be blind or an idiot not to be able to figure out which plane is an outlier and a significant balance issue to the game. Theres a good chance the R-27EA isnt actually being discussed because of the AIM-120C-5, but because the Russians have nothing else to add beyond much longer ranged missiles like the R-37M Axehead or more advanced fox 2’s if they want to compete with the Rafale as is.

Its not just america getting it, its F/A-18C’s across all trees that have them and F-15E/I to my understanding, which hits the US/GER/SWE/ISR TTs. This makes sense when you consider the F/A-18C and F-15E/I are the worst performing 14.0’s in-game atm in KDR/KPS and iirc WR as well.
ie: its not american mains that are the problem, the F/A-18C and F-15E just dont seem to be performing to standard at the BR they currently sit in, and are getting buffs to compensate.

you can look at the numbers for the f18c/15e that are in other trees and they are not much better
The Finnish Hornet was absolutely gutted, Israel is only played because shorter American tree, and American mains are just terrible players. There is a reason why they have the best stuff in the game but have terrible win rates.

Finnish F-18 was absolutely gutted and the Israeli tree is played by nobody except lazy people wanting a shorter American tree.
Abrams are top three best tanks in the game
F-15s are amazing BVR jets
F-16s are one of the best dogfighters
Literally best CAS in every BR (minus 13.0, which is Su-30)
America is a great country plagued by bad players.

the finish f18 is actually better in some regards to the american one and the lack of hmd is really not nearly as big of an issue as people say it is, also grinding isreal is really not that much shorter than grinding the us tree+you miss out on a bunch aircraft so i find that very hard to believe
japans top tier winrates are similarly bad while having pretty much the same aircraft.

no, the best tanks in game are 2a7v, 2a7hu, and 122b+
if you want to combine the 7v and 7hu id still argue that BVM is better than abrams
they are not the best in the game, EFT and Su30 are better for both bvr and close range while ravioli is much better for close range
they are behind EFT and ravioli along with lots of russian stuff not needing to dogfight because r73 is useable at close range
no they dont
off the top of my head 9.3 or 9.7 isreal has an a4 with better ordnance than anything US gets until 10.3
and isnt yak 9k still 4.7 for some reason?
and US has a severe lack of laser guided CAS until top tier for some reason meaning no night capability and reliance on mavs working
no its not, its a mid nation with mid to bad players

Sounds like a severe skill issue and cope
you literally were wrong about every point you made, maybe you should play the game before talking on the forums

The MICA-EM is a very maneuverable missile, it has an overload of 50G versus 35G on the AIM-120C-5. The one that shoots me down most often in combat is the MICA. It is a very good missile.

importantly the mica actually hits its G overload, the 120A pretty much never hits 35Gs and we dont know how 120C will be on launch

I couldn’t agree more, while I’m fully aware that MICA with ~80km range would be quite overpowered considering how good acceleration of Rafale is, I do think it should get it’s range fixed with an addition of AIM-120C-5. With it’s current range it completely outmatches MICA
