Nah it just shows that the current 14.3 meta is pretty much
Quality of missiles > Quantity of missiles > pretty much everything else on a fighter > Youre an F18
So, like the F-16 was? Or the F-14? Or F-15?
When they were all new?
Wait, none of them were nerfed
F-14 was def crazy op for its time i don’t think iv ever said otherwise and its been made worse over time.
the F-15E was 1 nerfed day 1 (kinda a hotfix bust still a nerf) and 2 didn’t need a nerf because the Eurofigher and rafale were added a month later or did you forget that.
F-16s and the Mig29 were a pretty decent match at the time the plane mite have been better but not to some insane degree as you seem to think.
and so was the Typhoon, its still nerfed, or did you forget that. Heck it was 7 months till we even got a usable radar on the Typhoon.
Right, and what about Sweden and Britain? or because they arent US, it doesnt matter?
By your logic, it doesnt matter that the US is doing poorly because Typhoon, Rafale, Su-30SM2, etc are all fairly evenly matched against each other and so its balanced
The god of strawmans over here hooly, how do you even get that from my statement, and even with your example yeah those 3 planes do well against each other so just like the F-16 and Mig 29 move them up to a br away form the planes there better than.
and is that going to change anything?
If the AESA-Phoons, Rafale and Su-30SM2 were 0.3 higher than the F-15C GE (and im still of the opinion that is being generous as after the buffs I think its fine to compete with those 3 airframes, but like the Typhoons, they need to fix 9M, AMRAAM and BOL) is that suddenly going to make US mains stop moaning? Stop demanding major buffs?
and what happens when they add IIR missiles and US mains realise Aim-9X isnt as good as the competition? Will Aim-9X be located at a notably lower BR?
etc etc etc
M1A2T has proven something, the vehicles arent the problem. The playerbase is. Gunna be interesting to see the January data when more people unlock the M1A2T, isnt factoring in spading time and its the full month of it available, but im doubting to see a drop in its performance.
Likewise, I think that F-15C GE in the hands of someone capable would perform just fine, its just an aircraft that requires skill to use, something Im not sure many US mains have
Considering the latest updates in the game, the American branch really has a number of serious problems, especially in aviation.
Abrams tanks, despite their strengths, have a large crew basket in the turret that rotates with it. This makes the vehicle vulnerable and practically leaves no room for error in ground battles.
The situation with US aviation is even worse: the planes do not have the best missiles and are very difficult to use, which ultimately leads to low combat effectiveness. The lack of modern attack pods makes new aircraft ineffective against ground vehicles.
In fact, only the AGM-65F are available, which are slow and often fail to destroy targets even after a direct hit. As a result, US attack aviation in the game is one of the weakest - both in terms of the number of available strike options and their quality.
The main problem with the game is the excessive balance tilt in favor of the USSR, which affects all nations, not just the USA. This is clearly seen in the charts: the performance indicators of all countries except the USSR have dropped significantly.
The introduction of new unbalanced vehicles, as well as successive upgrades of existing Soviet machines, has led to a situation where the queue for a battle on the USSR side often exceeds 350+ players. At the same time, for some inexplicable reason, this doesn’t seem to bother the developer at all.
Considering the introduction of the BMPT and the new “reload speed improvements” for Soviet tanks, it is quite likely that we will witness more USSR buffs, and a queue of 1000+ players no longer seems unrealistic.
Attack pods?
Do you mean targeting pods, like say Sniper?
Huh dude mains for every nation in the game come on here to complain about pointless bullshit and ask for unreasonable buff literally all the time thats how the forums work my guy, The fact is if you simple look at the stats of the F-15GE it clearly should be .3 lower than the top 3 just like the j-10C or dose Chinese bitching not piss you off as much
and again, I ask, if it gets to be 0.3 lower BR, what does that actually change?
Is it suddenly going to perform better?
are the US mains gunna stop complaining and demanding F-22s in OP configs?
once again but your own standard German air rb players are simply shit at the game
Yeah, they probably are, but does that mean all 3 typhoons should get major buffs like AMK, or should german mains just get better?
the br obviously lol its not going to magically make the plane stronger but weaker planes deserve a lower br thats how the game works
that what yall US mains should do
also the 9X in game is already better than the IRST so im not too worried
Right, but what about the aircraft at 14.3 that the F-15C GE is stronger than?
Like the Su-30MKM? M-Scan Typhoons? J-10C? F-18E?
Shouldnt the F-15C GE move up to 14.7 so its fair on them?
Why does the buck stop at the US aircraft?
Because true to form IRIS-T is nerfed, and also better suited for air launch
But I cant wait for the “X US aircraft is misisng ASRAAM” threads
English isn’t my native language, so I use a translator. Sorry if something sounds off
thats the FM they gave it as it is now if both are air launched the 9X is better every time
aslo bro stop pre malding about future post that dont exist
Hey, its true, you already have US mains claiming the ONLY F-35 that should get Meteor is the US one. God damn US mains are desperate to have better missiles
