It shows how the US is far more advanced than Russia.

USSR tech is about 30 years behind western tech. They need modern stuff to have any hope of competing, overly apparent with ground, but in air, its not quite so clear on airframes alone. (but is on A2A/A2G weapons)
Though in somewhat fairness. The Rafale in game is from like 2020 and the Typhoon could be argued to be from either 2008-2011 or even 2017, as they have kit from later in their service

The version of the f18c late we have in game is from 2006 at the absolute earliest. Actually mentally handicapped post.

Before you start, F-15E in game is 2010

That means Russia will stop getting new toys, and NATO will get new missiles,Jets…etc
Hopefully. Kinda annoying how nerfed our kit is. Aim-9Ms and Aim-120A/Bs are underperforming considerably

In game name for EFT is block 10, which is 2008ish model? Although I hesrd brimstones were from Tranche 3 models
Edit: seems like it’s block 15, so 2011ish?
The only nation that might actually be end of the line is France. Although there is still the Rafale F.4
Russia still has potential with Su-30SM2 and Su-35
Sweden with Gripen, anyways you get the point

Going by the Typhoon FGR4. It swtiched from F2 to FGR4 in 2008 and was operationally deployed first in 2011. It didnt get Brimstones until 2017 but… those were Brimstone 2s and not the Brimstone 1s in game ( which I dont think it ever actually used) but those entered service in 2005 on the Tornado GR4
Suffice to say… It isnt actually clear what year Typhoon we have based solely on loadouts. The Twin mounts of the PW4s I think are quite a modern/new addition, but I dont have any sources for or against that.
Because this is unfortunately still a game and have to have somewhat a sense of balance.
Your country tends to lag behind in development when you faced one of the biggest economic collapse of the 20th century and having tons of corruption afterwards
Anyways point is, this is one of OPs another attempt at a bait post, when what they said aren’t inherently factual

If the US military upgraded the F-15E with the APG-82(V)1 AESA radar in 2012,why isn’t this reflected(in the game)?

Yeah but it’s still a 2010 strike eagle in only one aspect. Anyways, bar the amraam and sidewinder all the stuff is balanced. Could also use SNIPER pods, and BOL
Because APG-82(v)1 prototype was only delievered in 2012 with first flight* in 2014
*to an operational unit

Because the F-15E is a perfectly balanced top tier aircraft without AESA radar currently. Though it may very well get that upgrade later this year.
Considering 2 nations (Sweden and China) still lack meaningful F-15E equivalents and a third (Japan) could do with something extra too. The US really doesnt need any major buffs at this time

Other than a buff to its ground.
Even then… Abrams is solid number 2 or 3 in terms of top tier MBTs currently. Sure, it has some issue regarding its turret ring, But its got overall good mobility, firepower and protection and leaves most other nations behind the dust.
