You would have to play a shockingly small amount of air rb to think this, most of the time its mixed with US on both teams and the rare moments its not mixed France is on the Russian side like 70% of the time
Prove it, otherwie baseless claim unfortunately
you were the 1 making a claim with no proof in the first place, my claim has just as much proof as you provided in yours
I said US n Ru can appear on both sides so the arguement for “blufor lacking X” is not valid. So until then, any claim is pointless
Also already said, squad up and you can avoid france. That freedom is available.
I play russia, i dont end up with france rather facing them more and thats why my winates have tanked yet not my kd/kps in su30sm
So do not tell me what russia sees more lol
great post, nicely done including the sensor-view for a comparison of amraam and aim-7 performance
Guys I am going to to step in here an close the topic for a little while so people can calm down !
This topic is open again but I would like to remind people keep it calm and to debate the topic not the user failure to do so will result in this topic being closed longer and failing that just remain closed !
france is only on red side for one matchup. its mostly on blue side

In this rotation of brackets.
Well well well, seems like it appears on one side significantly more for now. Interesting since it kept being brought up, i guess for this rotation you have 5:1 odds of leeway of not facing france if you play blufor nations in air simulators.
Whilst their was this assumption of France being either or. Again the point is, presets exist. You can create matches with presets that favor you. I think both sides can also choose a preset where france does not exist at all.
Yet it shows up probably 50% of the time in 14.3 lobbies.
Maneuverability is wrong t was nerfed without sources and it’s clear it’s an outlier, it has no smokeless motor either, + everything else.
Sweden mains too.
Forgot em’, added.
also chinese mains
(a french f16 also has it)
For only the F-16 MLU? Nah.
For what it is, it would remain as a mediocre jet even with better performing AIM-120s. China sways more around the PL-12 and marginally around the MICAs position in the meta.
these are some screenshots from the second video linked in the original post
I have marked added a straight line roughly parallel to the edge of the rail (it is actually angled slightly outward such that it is connected at the furthest back point of the rail, but slightly away from the front edge)
as you can see the missile is being guided with its fins are already pulling AOA and by the time it is past the nose of the plane it is already angled well off the planes bore sight
so I believe it is safe to say that the guidance delay should be reduced for rail launched AMRAAMs
this video also clearly is showing an AIM-120A/B as the fins are not clipped like they are on the AIM-120C and later
“not enough info” and thrown into the void like everything else
