This is starting to get tiresome. Gaijin is introducing a new Hornet, the fourth one already, and we’re still seeing the same Maverick missiles added to the game over three years ago, and they’re the only CAS missiles for Western aircraft. And you know, these Mavericks are absolutely useless at the top tier; they’re terribly slow, have a range of only 10 km, and often fail to penetrate reactive armor. As a result, everyone was expecting an answer to the Kh-38 or Kh-59, but they got nothing. The same goes for the A2A missiles. You’re adding a new F-15C GE fighter, but with the old AIM-120A missiles. Yes, there’s also the AIM-120C5, but there’s practically no difference between them. In the end, the US tech tree hasn’t received anything new this year.

I was talking about missiles. The Aim-120C5 isn’t a new weapon; it’s a worse version of the AIm-120B.
Well, no one actually received any new good missiles this year. Still, Meteors are the best in the game.
Does it need more? Im more tha okay with 4x Mavericks at F-5C FCU. Its still OP AF.
Russia received the Kh-38MT, Kh-38ML, and Kh-59M missiles. Russia received a surplus of the missiles.
If you’re happy with monotonous gameplay with the same weapons, I’m very happy for you.
The Kh-38 is from last year, and the Kh-59 is kind of useless because it’s slow asf.
The X-59 is slow? It’s faster than the Maverick. So, what’s slow for the Soviets is fast for the US. Because the US can’t even achieve that. Did you know that Maverick barely flew 14 km and then crashed due to a loss of speed? That is, for most of the flight, Maverick was no longer flying at Mach 0.9, but below Mach 0.5.
I mean, there’s actually nothing left to add for the USA. The US was never interested in long-range air-to-ground missiles, plus Mavericks actually work better in real life than in the game.
What I really can’t understand is this: the USSR can use the KH-38, but U.S. aircraft still can’t use the GBU-53, AGM-154C, or AGM-158
The AGM-154C and AGM-158 were even introduced earlier than the KH-38 yet somehow we’re not allowed to get them
Bruh, those are stealth cruise missiles.
Please don’t write anything else here. Thank you.
