name one vehicle type where US has the best?

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

Oh my, I’m average. Sorry I didn’t make a smurf account and pad my stats

Pretty much just like Rafale now.
The EFT isn’t better because of its considerably worse radar and worse speed, and do you really think a heavy and not powerful plane like the Su-30 is good in BVR? (It isn’t, the Rafale could be better, because the Su-30 is just too slow)
Saying it’s all better is an exaggeration, but the US is by far the best tree for CAS at nearly every single BR. Some planes beat it (Yak-9K, F4U-7), but the US doesn’t have any bad CAS BRs.
It’s the best air tree in the entire game, and it is plagued by bad players at high BRs, and bad players/harder to use planes at lower BRs.

In my opinion the most important fix they have to make to the rafale is its top speed which is MACH 1.89 and not MACH 2.0. Having that fix would allready rebalance thing quite a bit.
PS : It is officialy stated by Dassault that the Rafale top speed is MAch 1.89.

iirc, it’s due to RAM Coating that makes Rafale only can reach to Mach 1.9. Because RAM Coating wasn’t modeled in War Thunder, it shouldn’t be a relevant factor making Rafale can’t reach Mach 2 just because of RAM Coating thing, UNLESS, Gaijin want to model Rafale Stealth FM which mean in one way or another, Rafale RCS was reduced “almost” like F-117 and it shouldn’t be detectable via NCTR.
The problem with Rafale is because EFT was severely underpowered (compared to Rafale only, in general sense IMO EFT still pretty competitive), it has worser radar than Gripen, slower supercruise (despite it’s a common sense that EFT will always beat Rafale in a straight line). Don’t blame the French Bug Reporter for making a super detailed report, blame Gaijin for not addressing the issue of EFT.
The game has reached its engine limitation making Rafale feels unrealistic, at least according to the Bug Reporter, but at least Rafale FM was pretty well documented, so it’s pretty much accurate for Rafale FM be like that unlike Gripen which by common sense itself that the aircraft engine can’t sustain that kind of turn, if you think Rafale FM wasn’t realistic, feel free to present another document that state otherwise.
@DirectSupport prediction are pretty good at Hornet’s Sting, he’s also asked for MICA-EM to be fixed once again in order to be competitive when R-77-1 was introduced (and at that time, tbh Rafale and EFT FM was pretty comparable), but we only got Rafale FM buff to compensate it (making Rafale FM far more superior than EFT in a straight line). But now because the AIM-120C-5 is coming, obviously there’s no reason to keep MICA-EM (and other missiles) gimped.

Usualy in this kind of situation the issue is on gaijin side.
Well wasn’t expecting that. Perhaps gaijin could try to work on that (they probably are but changing the game engine is surely quite hard and time consuming, so we may not see any improvment on that side for some time)
