You are completely fine with other countries getting US jets and US weapons they never used or carried on those jets, but the US getting a missile flown on a USMC F-35 is too much, the hypocrisy lol

AGM179, which every Non US AH64Es shouldn’t even be able to fire them beacuse none of them received the V6 software upgrades that make JAGM compatible. Plus LDIRCM should only be on the US Apache, but here we are.

When did I say I was fine with it?
Balancing, unless premium Hornet with AIM-120Bs was a better idea?
Did the U.S. historically purchase it? Go through the extensive integration processes for themselves and not a client state? No? There you go
Ah, so Brimstone but make it helicopter. Same same
Did Britain purchase the F18? No, so remove all 4 F18s from the UK tree.

Sure, as soon as you show which country said F-18s are from
Hint: the sun never sets.
If we’re going to go with this logic, please by all means remove every single “not main (or assumed main) nation” vehicle. Funnily enough, USSR remains mostly unscathed, other trees aren’t so lucky.
Let’s play.
- Ok, so Meteor on US F-35B can be balancing as well
- IRL stuff like historical orders don’t matter, what matters is a US F-35 has carried the Meteor and no one else has
Nope, because there’s literally no need balancing wise because you also have the F-22 that, if fan speak is to be taken seriously, should by all metrics roflstomp the F-35 in any kind of engagement
Giving US total supremacy in top tier with help from a single missile they don’t even own or plan to makes 0 sense in a literal or balancing sense.
Whats the difference between america getting meteors and other nations getting r-27ers/r-27ts they never had?
No in game nation other than Russia, China got r-27er or r-27t. yet, you will find r-27er and r-27t on hungarian, romanian, malaysian, german, etc jets.
So I think america getting meteors and asraam is fair game.
ESPECIALLY since they tested them even.
The other nations never even tested r-27er/t yet they get them in game.

Wait, so if it was the UK getting supremacy with the Meteor it would be perfectly fine?

Yes, because when the hell has Gaijin ever not screwed Britain? Or did you already forget about the latest BR changes and the last few updates where they still destroy the Fox?
AESA Typhoon?

Who said that ? Imagining word now ?
Keep dreaming. Historical or not us main will find a excuse to blame on
Oh my, a slightly faster radar scan! So OP! Nevermind the fact Gaijin refuses to give us proper Brimstones, forcing us to use laser guided munitions at a BR where we got shot down the second we spawn in.
Honestly speaking, I don’t believe F-22 would be game breaking or totally unbalanced. It would rather level the playing field considering there is a good chance they will not be adding modernized F-22 earlier
You got SPICE 250 that afaik hasn’t even been tested on EFT, US hasn’t even gotten GBU-53 that’s been in service for years.
Also, UK’s AESA EFT can track well into notch
Comparing export MiG-29 carrying R-27ERs to a US F-35 carrying Meteors is a massive false equivalency. Those export nations actually purchased and operated the R-27 family; giving them the ER variant is (from my understanding) just a technical “placeholder” for a type of the missile system they already had in their inventory. The US has zero stock of the Meteor and zero intention to buy it.
Using the USMC testing phase as justification is a reach. The US was acting as a service provider for the UK to help them integrate their own weapon, not certifying it for American magazines. If “testing for a client” is the new standard for the tech tree, then the US should realistically get every Israeli, Japanese, and European weapon ever flown at Pax River or Eglin, which is obviously a mess.
The Swiss Hornet having Sparrows, for example (there are others), is a specific balancing choice to keep a premium jet from being forced into a BR it can’t handle with AMRAAMs. But like I said before, the US eventually gets the F-22. If you’re going to have the most dominant air-superiority airframe ever built, begging for a European missile you never even purchased makes no sense in a literal or a balancing sense. We should be pushing to fix ahistorical loadouts like the German R-27ER or Brimstones once munitions are ready, not using those mistakes to justify turning the US into a fictional “what-if” faction.
Yeah sure, because the U.K. also operates the F-22.
In simple terms, this is just what it (UK) will have. No one’s (at least, I’m not) batting an eye at the U.S.’ AIM-260 or even pondering whether or not it comes to Europe’s F-35s ingame at all. There is literally no need because such nations don’t need it

They obviously had at least 1 at the base if they put it on the F-35
