This game is biased.The Su-30SM was officially put into service in 2013,while the FA-18C was commissioned in 1987.How can this be balanced?

Eh, gaijin loves to powercreep, im sure will see Super Hornet next patch with even more advanced A2G equipment and with no SPAA panstir equivalents to boot.

I hope not tbh. I think it’s about time to revisit the F-16 family

Yeah but powercreep is almost a staple of Gaijin and air. I mean we rarely have updates where gaijin doesn’t powercreep the game.

Don’t worry, the F-16 will do a little powercreep (but not that much)

You’re ignoring the snail logic which means anything can and will happen.

Remember 9M wasn’t originally worth adding since it would be worse than R73 yet that went well. Or R77-1 isn’t a big enough difference to warrant adding ect ect. Expect anything to happen.

Honestly. I want more a2g stuff for the F-15E. I would be pretty content if the update was just more munitions for US jets across the board, like napalm on 111F, LJDAM on F-16, Laser SDB on F-15E

Tbh su 30 is only scary because it gets tvc engine with r73 and r77-1 which is nice but the plane isn’t that scary
Ive played against it in a f18 a j11b a j10 and a rafale
When it comes to a 1 on 1 dogfight the su 30 will lose if the engagement takes too long
And i know the cobra button could help it but it makes it worse for the su 30
Matter of fact ive seen at multiple instances when i was in a dogfight they try to use the funny button to force the 1 cercle and the only thing i need to do is force the 2 cercle while going on slight vertical incline
while hes trying to shoot his r73 at me and ends up in a stall which forces them to pitch down to regain their energy and i end up on their six because i am above them

If we talk about grb yeah su 30 is broken and needs an increase in sp

I predict that F/A-18C late around 2013 ~ 2015

At present, no AIM-120C-5, AIM-9X (Blk 1), AGM-154A & AGM-154C JSOW and GBU-12F/B Dual Mode LGB

But gaijin not ready AGM-84H & AGM-84K SLAM-ER at least 2 years

Around mid 2010’s

Around mid 2010’s

F/A-18C late similar to F/A-18E/F late (Block II) 2010’s except radar, hardpoint and engine

F/A-18E/F Block II for the 2010’s guided Air-to-Ground munitions like F/A-18C late

GBU-54(V)2/B in the 2010’s

But I’m looking forward GBU-12F/B Paveway II (Dual mode laser guided bomb) because from 2013

LOL.

More like their advanced “new” tech is on par with American relics of the past.

Modern Russian gear being that of the calibre we see in western museums

Obviously, those are new, highly advanced wood screws holding the Su-57’s together.

Saw an F-117 in a museum so yeah

We would need more aa, different game modes for sead missions and bigger maps for top tier
Plus we aren’t ready for aim 9x any time soon

US Mains trying to comprehend why Russia (Of the former Soviet Union) wouldn’t make expensive military developments during the 90s and early 2000s like the US. (almost like they had some major political discourse.)

Even more funny is when the su-30sm in the game magically gets to use Su-35S pylons and Su-35S gear and yet as recent as 2022 the thing was seen only with R-27ERs, hmmm I wonder why

But the AIM-9X (Block I) inferior to MICA IR, AIM-132 ASRAAM (Block I), AAM-5 and AIM-2000 IRIS-T because without datalink & lock-on-after-launch (LOAL) feature

Gajin might add AIM-9X Blk 1 someday, but after decompression BR to 14.7

AIM-120C-5 & AIM-120C-7

AGM-88C HARM very good for SEAD mode

Air EC map 180 km X 180 km or 240 km X 240 km for fighter aircraft top tier ? 🤔

Bigger top tier ground maps
And also aim 9x blk 1 still has IIR its just that the resolution is lower compared to its equivalent

The problem with even adding Aim-9X Block 1, is that it is still rather far ahead of everyone else and would create quite a major imbalance. The only fair thing to do, would be to skip to Block 2, and add equivalents for everyone else. Adding the Block 1 to ever so slightly lower BR aircraft at the same time or afterwards. If they even add them at all.

AAM-5B, AIM-132 (Block 6), PL-10/PL-10E, AIM-2000 , R-74M2, A-Darter and Python 5 equivalent

But personally, AIM-9X-2 for 4th gen & 4.5 gen fighter aircraft since battle rating 15.3 ~ 15.7

and include 5th gen fighter aircraft (16.0 ~ 16.3) armed AIM-9X-2

I’m not believe gajin skip block I

Slightly worse AAM-5 and AIM-132 (Block I)

R-74M equivalent

Gajin might implemented block 1 before AIM-9X-2 (Block II)

At least 4 fighter aircraft top tier might get AIM-9X (Block I)

But USAF not integrate AIM-9X (Block I) on F-15E until 2017

Add the early russian 5th gen infrared Air-to-Air Missile R-74M on Su-30SM after decompression BR to 14.7

I suppose new content for soviet/russia after this quarter might return cold war 1st gen fighter aircraft and 3rd gen fighter aircraft, and R-73L/R-73LE missile

And MiG-29SMT (9-19) received R-77-1 ?

Now french no Rafale F1 and Rafale F2 (Rafale B & Rafale M)
