I don’t understand this, ‘mental masturbation’, that USA should be, blatantly better than most nations, which is in-game:
Close air support bottom to top is by far the best, bombs in most fighters, dedicated weapons in all strikers, tanks most reliable pieces, anti air that are decently effective, air-to-air engagements is something that most nations doesn’t even are in par.
USA is indeed one of the most, if not the best nation looking from a general perspective (from lower tiers to high tiers) where some few nations can overperform in certain battle ratings, but not all of them.

Shh, don’t tell them that the F-22 didn’t have access to the 9X until the late 2010s and still has no HMD
got one recently, was tested a couple years ago too

Hehe, yeah… WIll be funny if Gaijin caves and they get an F-22 with no stealth, no HMD and what 2+4 A2A fit with Aim-9M and AIm-120C5?

F-35 won’t be much better tbh, just 4 AAM pylons internally
with C model AMRAAM its 6+2

So equal to the Typhoon and comprable to the Rafale and less than the Gripen E
Still double than what the F-35 can carry internally
Yeah. Though the F-35 is only really meant for SEAD not A2A. Its like comparing Tornado Gr4 with the Tornado F3.
But if stealth is modeled, then the US wont get some overwhelming advantage
Though gaijin has already said no Gen 5 anytime soon. So that leaves the US with the F-15
most of europes washed barely militarized
still waiting on a newer block of F15
I feel like when 5th gens come out the overall air-rb rankings will be (excluding direct 1v1 dogfight matchups)
- Su-57 (Best radar, 10 missiles)
- F-22 (Smallest radar signature, 8 missiles)
- F-35 (Best overall, 4 missiles)
- J-20 (Worst FM, 6 missiles)

The F-15E is perfectly fine at the moment. Again. Sweden, Japan and China do not yet have a counter for the F-15E. They should be first to get anything new.
After that, maybe the US can get a buff, but that buff would come with everyone else. Over are the days of the US getting to be OP because “reasons”

J20 will most probably out perfrom SU57 delta canard is amazing
F15E is mid its only use is BVR which RAFALES are better at basically all its good for its mid at anything else
Gaijin is gunna pull a Soyuz and make the Su-57 totally broken OP. Probably give it DIRCM making it immune to IR in all aspect and stealth that makes it immune to ARH

I remember reading reports of chinese pilots that couldn’t keep up with F-35s which lead me to believe that the J-20 is horribly underpowered or extremely heavy
