What can save American top tier air?

Like I said with the fuel weight check the r77 thread for the fuel weight then you can do the math for thrust to burn time

If gaijin would stop Artificially nerfing NATO weapons lol but that wont happen

what does this even mean?

Ignoring years worth of high quality first hand sourced bug reports so equipment stays artificially worse than it should be or adding stuff in highly dubious states to make things worse than they should be.

Exactly!

What do we think about the PoBIT? Personally i believe it would struggle due to only 6 missile that it could carry

it will, especially if its gimmick being the 120d is also going to be on a superhorrnet in a different tech tree

all though the F16 has better flight performance its not that much of a difference to compensate for over double the missiles

It will not be good if it’s placed at 14.3 or 14.7 unless Aim-120Ds are by far the best missile in the entire game. Even then, the hornets exist with a better loadout at 14.7.

DOA? No, not unless Gaijin is stupid.

so its gonna be DOA?

Pretty much. It’s a 6 missile platform, this is not something that can work properly in 16v16

It will be decent for grb but I’m hoping they give some new CAS ability like GBU-53 which should of been added last update.

No f-15ex.
USA mains gonna be eating scraps until summer update it looks like

as if thats not been the case since EFT and Rafail were added (with the sole exception of the AH64E until everyone else got that too) at least for top tier

Rafale still a top 2 plane in the game after a good year lmao.
When was the last time USA dominated like that plane, f-14a? F-4e?
Unfortunate USA has no “super” competitive 4.5 gens

Honestly, I think the SH might just be a better platform for GRB still, low speed high AoA is actually a lot more viable when you are centered around a tiny map. This is straight up a downgrade.

Maaaaaaybe they will give the “what if” triple missile racks for it to compensate.

if they didnt make everything overpreform like crazy F15CX with -132 engines (could 100% be added) would definitely be competitive, but gaijins overbuffed everything, so unless they do the same to the F15s US cant be competitive

tbf, they are more real then other options in the game, like the double racks on EFT or the flankers

The double racks of the flankers do exist, just not on all platforms that are in game. But materially these pylons exist, unlike the F-21’s triple racks which are even less real than the F-21

gonna be laughing my ass off when China gets the F-16V in the next patch after this.
