160km is the range for aim120d. aim120d-3 is the most modern aim120 variant
its alot of top tier players rn. they all get top tier bombing in premiums and when they get to top tier just stay at multipath and shoot missiles with 0 thought

Is F-15EX also going to be in bomber line?
Makes sense I guess
Under the F-15E yeah I presume, makes the most sense tbf.
F-22 under the GE later on, possibly? (as rank IX ofc)

F-35A in first line, F-22A in second line, F-35C in third line, F-35B in fourth line and Advanced Eagles in fifth line
I don’t look forward to Gen 5 lobbies where it’s just gonna be F35s and F22s on each team, I think we should stop asking for more slop content and look for real solutions, Air RB is an actual bloody mess and until as a community we start complaining about real gameplay problems rather than which nation is crushing everyone this update and which nation is suffering, we won’t see any QoL changes. Gen 5s won’t fix top tier Air RB for America, it might feel good to stomp everything with an F22 for a while but eventually it will all fade under the crushing weight of this gamemode’s failures.

I think that game play problem would be fixed with new aerial warfare mode. Beside that community won’t get together. 5th gen would be more beneficial for US, Russian and Chinese mains, how would you convince them to oppose addition of 5th gen and instead start complaining about Air rb gameplay. Few of them would agree but not all. Anyways we still have an entire year before thry add 5th gen. They would have this year to fix air rb gameplay mode
5th gen won’t work the best under current gameplay beside the F-22 and Su-57 (cannot say anything about J-20/J-35). At end they would just be dogfight Eurofighter and rafale and i can only see F-22 and Su-57 performing well against them and win, though even F-22 and Su-57 won’t have an easy time against rafale and Eurofighter in dogfight
That’s on the assumption gaijin doesn’t fumble that horrifically like heli pve, or just forget it exists entirely like world war mode.
Well SEAD event was quite promising. But they could fumble just like they did with BR changes

for some reason canards are like a divine addition, every jet that has them is extremely maneuverable no matter the speed and is decent at retaining speed
Haven’t been here in a while, did we figure out what can save America or is everyone’s final solution the F-22?

Americans are cucked until they get aim 9x or f-22 yeah
Even then they will find a way to die inferior planes somehow.
Can’t wait demolish F-22’s from 40Km with MICA-Ir tho Xd.

I mean to be fair mica ir is probably going to be the best ir missile in the entire game, nothing comes close to it in overall capability other than probably r-74m2. But even then mica ir ng version blows the r-74m2 out of the water anyways.
Only thing that comes close is the ASRAAM in terms of range and IRIS-T in terms agility but since MICA-IR has both abilities it will be hands down best IR missile in the game like you said.
Unless they do what I think they might, and limit it to LOBL. So HOBS is limited by gimball limit and range is limited by lock range. Then it actually loses quite a bit. Especially in HOBS with 60°gimball limit vs everyone elses 90°
Asraa, mica ir and r-74m2 both reach similar ranges and r-74m2 should have similar maneuvering capability to mica ir at 60gs, and at over 3km asraam will have best time to target.
Though America should also get asraam so they won’t get stuck with aim 9x
