us players are doing fine, us aircraft however?
The average US/USSR/Germany main seems to be worse than the average minor nation enjoyer, probably because all the randoms brought by the shiny clickbait ads go to the big 3. So he’s somewhat right.
Doesn’t mean US top tier doesn’t need some improvements though

At least generally air minor nation mains back up the claim that they are better with good stats.
The overwhelming majority I see ground minor nation mains make that same claim they are wholy uninpressive or even bad.

Well tbh my stats really don’t defend my point but I’m not gonna pretend I’m good, it’s just what I observe in others

we’re talking air here. us air has become decent only with the buffed golden eagle.
ive noticed that US top tier stats arent too bad right now. maybe all the (accurate) bad press on the F/A-18E, F-15C GE, and F-16C PoBIT has led new people to not go for US top tier air as much.

Meteor is Ku-band like the MICA.

Can we see the entire document?
Any idea why the page has been removed?
Strange, as that info can’t be found on official pages anymore. Or can it?
That’s not out of the norm, a good portion of historical bug reports submitted to Gaijin use archived old links that contains information that the current modern day materials do not have. Current Meteor brochures don’t have this information, yes.

You see, the issue is that an RCS of, say, 0.01m^2 in X band, roughly translates into 0.002m^2 in Ku band.
It doesn’t make much sense to field a missile that is supposed to fight the GEN4.5/5 planes, that has a worse seeker to find those planes, in the first place. I mean, IDK, Meteor maybe has Ku band seeker indeed, but some kinda info newer than the 20 years old one, would be welcome.
Increasing frequency for radar increases the range of the radar if all else is the same according to MBDA, so your conclusion isn’t correct.
"“Radar theory shows that in similar conditions, increasing the frequency focuses the energy into a narrower beam, which has the dual effect of increasing both radar range and angular resolution”
(Timestamp 0:17)
You can see here that the Aster-30 went from Ku-band to Ka-band which is a higher frequency allowing it to narrow the beam and focus the energy into higher ranges.

In space. We play in atmosphere, sadly, although GJ ignores that fact.
Also, I was talking about RCS, but since I don’t have numbers, only conjecture, I guess, waybackmachine and MBDA physics WILL make the Ku band Meteor track F22, or F35, after all.
barely if what you and others have said about seeker frequencies is correct
If GJ’s treatment of MICA and 120 is any indication, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I mean, MICA (and Rafale as a guiding platform) has already been modeled wrong (or dubious at best) on so many levels its not even funny. Now, imagine having MICA with 100km NEZ. Yeah, not gonna be funny for anyone but Meteor slingers.
I know, I meant clickbait in the og sense not the tank with a chair
That’s a good thing tbh, a bad team is worse than good enemies sometimes
The game would be more enjoyable if low level premium users at high tiers weren’t a thing
yeah then youre right, the big 3 are inherently going to have more new players and less skilled players due to that, but if you consider the situation the us was before that its the stats werent bad.
