Not unless we get Block 70 and above. F-16V

and I get that and I’m with you on that hope
but just now claiming imbalance shouldn’t exist when they always have claimed oh if you just build an aircraft as steong as ours you’d have gotten one in the past from thr US community is what’s annoying me

Every X nation main will want to have an easy time with said nation lol. As soon as they’re dethroned, they’ll be bummed about it, obviously. Their once uncontested, shiny, point, click, get kill jet, now is getting shot down just as easily as everything else.
As for the F-18, yes, it should be in the game already, over a year minimum as you said. And that’s the main issue. It really is crazy we’re in EFT, Rafale, F-15E territory, yet not even the F-18A is in the game. And I wouldn’t even say I’m an US main, as I play top tier with 5 nations, soon to be 7. Gripen is falling behind, Su-27 general gameplay is painful, R77 is bad, J10/J11 B delayed feels a tiny bit weird, we might see them in the next major, F-18C is so late we’re better off just skipping to the Super Hornet, but I’m kinda scared they’d make F-18A or C a squadron or premium vehicles… Lots of things going on but sadly most people in this forum are just repeating “womp womp no hornet you already have F-15E”, brother… that’s the tip of the iceberg 😅

it’s not about easy time, there is nothing easy about AirRB, it’s about competing with similar airframes and missiles.
EFT right now represent everything that is wrong with current matchmaker and BR’s.
Also there a lot more “balanced” options for new top tier aircrafts for “minor” nations, like early models of Rafale, F/A-18C, Su-30(for Britain), J-11B, J-10B, but they choose the most braindead option, period.

“I suffered so you need to too”
Dude, its game balance, not a victim competition.

none of those would’ve been competitive with the F-15E/I
Typhoon and Rafale are tho
I guess, it was completely fine for the last 12 years though?
So make the change now instead of letting it persist. Would you rather 12 more years of back and forth suffering or just end it now?

I would have loved for the powercreep to never exist and fair implementations from the beginning. Unfortunately they keep up a constant asymetrical powercreep.
I would also have been in favour of the game advancing at a faaaaar slower pace.

There’s that famous, “ f you I got mine. But, it was super important when I didn’t have mine yet!”
I have seen at least a half dozen people say it fly like an arcade plane in realistic lol. This is just the same case every time something that gets released is OP.
It’s Op when someone else has it, it’s really not that serious when you do.
Seconded lol.
Dude same, its like theyre rushing th- Oh yeah its money. Its money. Who do you see wanting the Century Series in-game? People who actually know what they’re talking about and have an actual love for history and aviation. Who has mommy’s credit card? Top Gun Timmy. Do you think Timmy even knows what an F-101 is? No, but he sure as f_ knows what the F-15 and F-22 are.
Honestly at this point, I believe the only reason the F-15E was added was to justify adding the Euro-canards, and at the moment the EFT isn’t merely competitive with the 15E it is vastly superior.

The FM is going to be changed i wouldnt get excited until we see it on the live server.
I’m really not, this isn’t an aircraft I will be grinding for. Sweden is next after I finish Japan air tree. And I mostly play GRB, almost exclusively. However, since these aircraft affect GRB big time, I pay attention to things just to stay in the loop and know what’s what from the people who car enough to learn everything since they play ARB mostly.
Helps a lot.
Well, the EF2000 will arrive with a nerfed FM and a nerfed weapon loadout.
Let’s see how competitive it will really be in the end.
What would you suggest then, the US get even better aircraft first and make the gap even bigger between the best and worse top tier aircraft?
Adding the Eurofighter now makes thing more balanced than they were before, then the US will probably receive upgraded vehicles early next year in a patch or two.
The issue is what I’m hearing from US players is that their suffering now is worse than Europe’s was before and that the Eurofighter being added will absolutely break the game, and it just won’t it may not even be better than the F-15E
By nobody you mean USA mains?
For example another 4+ generation fighter aircraft after " Storm Warning " update in the future
- J-11B Late (Block 9)
- MiG-29KR
- Su-30MKI (late)
- JF-17C
- F-16V (Block 70/72 standard)
- F-16C PoBIT (Block 70/72 standard)
- F/A-18C (AN/APG-79(V)4)
- F/A-18E/F Blk 2
- J-11BG/J-11BHG
True, but it is just annoying how Gaijin is speedrunning its way to the “endgame” of the Air trees when there are tons of Gen 3 and 4 aircraft skipped. Especially when a lot of the capabilities of these Gen 4 and above airframes effectively mean nothing because of outdated gamemodes.

You’re not exactly an “Average” player LMAO. Most players struggle to flare anything that isn’t a 9L
