What can save American top tier air?

I’d remove them from the game.
I get GJ’s attempt to balance the top tier when there was anything else, but now, ERs and ETs should be removed from Mg29s, as well as other weapons that don’t belong to the planes that aren’t top tier anymore.

Not anymore. GJ nerfed EF’s AESAs and Gripen’s PS05A, after the 9th wave (and maybe others but I didn’t notice). Not only in notching, but in tracking in general, as the contacts disappear, tracking brackets disappear, so you don’t know whether the radar is tracking or not and then randomly reappear, etc.

True, but that was the bone, for disallowing active Brimstones, for which was no need, as the Brimstones are radar guided with lower accuracy than IIR weapons with a small warhead, which, along with chaff smoke, could’ve make actual Brimstone playable against.

You see, that’s the problem. When GJ attempts to “balance” something, it almost always ends up worse than if they didn’t touch anything. For starters I’d be happy to see MICA and 120 fixed, by the book, but not GJ’s book, but Electromagnetism book. Then, there wouldn’t be even the need for Meteors, except in some future.

This is another issue the GJ refuses to fix.

It’s funny because when they try to add subs to the game, they’re gonna lock nearly all U.S. subs at 15 knots Because “Erm, the military said it can go at least 15 kts.”

But then start extrapolating with other subs.

Like what they do now with U.S. vehicles of any kind.

EFT slander just the way I like it

True, but that still shows they are favored over the US since we didn’t even get our own GBU-53

USMC f-35s getting meteor and asraam is a good way to insure both of these missiles cannot pull at all.
Jokes aside i dont think they should get them, BUT if the alternative is the aim120 as it is in its abysmal state ill take the meteor, asraams though? I think aim9x block 2 is competitive as is

Lets goo :D

surely :)

Spoiler

satire

Is that a training version of AMRAAM?

no, it was a prototype or testing missile

Ohk

I really hope it has TVC

US player when a single other nation get a slighty better thing :

Luckily I precised :

And this

And you say suffering, but I pretty clearly saw in your post 2 14+ jets that are in game (not from JPN itself you can see) (US have actually 2 times the amount of 14+)
and for US you can put 200 more prototypes, such as the great YF-23, X-32, YF-22, X-31, F-15 STOL,…
And for CAS ? you have so much possibilities, and on F-15 not only that but quantity

And just for fun, I’ll go like this :
F-16 OCU: worst toptier jet, if you don’t trust me you haven’t played it.
F-16A: not toptier, and for some reason you counted it for JPN but not for US ? I’ll do the same list for you, you’ll see. Complete this time. Stop falsing those numbers to seems like your poor in term of diversity.
F-15J: not toptier, and you didn’t counted the F-15A neither. Nor the second F-15C.
F-15J/M: the closest to toptier, still worst than F-15C, F-15C Super Eagle and F-15E.
F-2A: Pretty close to an F-16C. Maybe a bit better.
Gripen-C: pretty fun actually, but only 6 air-to-air armament + gun.
Su-30-MKM: this one is good. Only issue I saw is RVV-SD, I don’t like them.
F-18D: heavier F-18, will bleed speed quicker. still pretty good just for the amount of missile, but you have 3 variants of this in US.
Mig-29N: Why the same BR as the Su-30MKK ? should be at 13.0 with this horrible RWR and it is useless in the IRon-Dome meta, 6 missiles and not enough flares/chaff.
and that’s the end of the toptier speed.

Now for the list you did so well to show how toptier jet where in JPN vs US !:

With the 12.7 air of JPN, you will get :
F-16A, F-16ADF, F-16C, F-16Cm, F-15A, F-15C, F-15C Super Eagle, F-15E, F-18A, F-18C, F-18E, F-14A, F-14B, AV-8B+. I did not counted premium, since you didn’t. that’s 14.
Now JPN: F-15J, F-15J(M), F-2A, F-16AJ, F-5 (Bruh), F-16 OCU, Mig-29N, F-18D, Su-30MKM, JAS-39. That’s 10. Without the absolute useless at their BR, aka Mig-29N, F-16OCU and F-5 TH, that makes 7. Same ratio than the 14.+, lol.

So yeah, I’m pretty sure instead of talking about “saving the US”, maybe fix the only nation overperforiming and put at the same level every other nations that are all behind US.

If Japan get changed to ASEAN, i will come back to argue with you. Until then, I will just ignore all the 10+ response to this post, since I’m pretty sure will just make me lose useful time.
And I would love to see the KF-21, but most the community is agreeing that S-Korean will go in the US techtree. I would love to see JPN as an OP nation, maybe in a couple years.

PS:

I won’t say it for the community guideline, but I’ll be happy to say it with a little tip : It has 2 cheeks, and is not a face. ;)

PPS: Let’s see all the reply notifactions, I litteraly trew a bomb in their HQ.

Besides F-16A, I have counted all of them

Half of those never had weapons

The F-15JM is pretty widely agreed to be at the very least slightly better than the old F-15C

The F-2 is better than the F-16C blk50 in basically every way except for ARH count

F-16CM is faster and climb more, it lis lighter, F-16CM have HMD, and this:

The only place where F-2 is better is the surface making him turing 1.3 sec faster

Don’t you mean the F-16C? The CM is the 14.3 one

Nope, F-16C has a worst top speed and climb rate, and have 30 setup instead of 40.

Oh, but the CM is 14.3 and the F-2A is 13.7… Why compare them?
Quartas mentioned the F-16C Blk 50, not the F-16CM PoBIT Blk 52

i’d still rather be in the f-2. Better missiles + more missiles + more countermeasures + better fm
