Can you point to an aircraft in-game that has an AESA?
Tell me again that I’m incorrect after doing such.
The v2 was never mass produced, nor was it more than a test venture done through an ANG unit that decided to commission them. They were immediately switched to 63v3s half a decade later.
It not being equipped on the one in-game (a 2005 model) has nothing to do with being a “balance choice”, it’s the fact that our current MSIP-II model is what was standard for the United States at the time. A handful of one-off aircraft is by no means a regular choice.
The camouflages made for the aircraft equate to a model aircraft that it was based upon. Our block 50 in-game is based directly on an iteration of 91-391 from 2010, and in-game reflects things as such.
Why wouldn’t it be in ANG until after it received it? The 123rd received their F-15Cs 8 years prior to upgrading a handful of airframes’ radars.
Lmfao thats rich. It equipped an entire squadron. That far surpasses what many aircraft in game could hope to accomplish.
That is as far from accurate as it gets and there are numerous examples of such.
I find it hard to believe it could both be “in the configuration it was in 2005” and “in the configuration it was when it joined the 123rd in the ORANG”, given it was assigned to an ACTIVE DUTY squadron in Japan in 2005 and was so until very recently. 85-123, the specific jet livery you are so pent up over, is what I’m referring to in case it wasn’t clear. And funnily enough, you can find the exact same aircraft in Elmendorf, AK livery. The same place the 63v2s were sent. It is entirely possible the exact aircraft ingame was modified with it.
I’m of the opinion that we are missing air-to-air missiles more than we are actually missing airframes, AESA, and sensor fusion. We could expect to see F2 with AESA in the near future but we should expect more missile progression first than other stuff.
A list of missiles that are still yet to be added:
AIM-9X Block 1, AIM-9X Block 2, AIM-120C-5, AIM-120C-8/D, AIM-260, AIM-174, R-74, R-74M, R-77-1, R-37, PL-5E, PL-10, PL-15, PL-17, IRIS-T, ASRAAM, MICA IR, MICA NG EM, MICA NG IR, Meteor, Derby ER, Python 4, Python 5, AAM-4B, AAM-5, AAM-5B.
This is 26 air to air missiles still missing from the game and I still might have missed some more.
This is also not pointing out that current missiles are still gimped and have acknowledged open reports on them.
An entire squadron… 18 aircraft. Less than a quarter of the bg.
Far surpasses? There were close to 190 F-15Cs of the exact same specification that we have in game.
Yes, simply say there are numerous examples. Don’t give the examples, simply say that they exist and leave it at that.
Which means exactly diddly squat. A Group is just for organizing personnel. It has basically nothing to do with aircraft.
Yes… And? That has nothing to do with what I’m saying. Outfitting an entire squadron is far more service than “one off’s” or many of the literal single digit production number aircraft ingame.
F-14A, F-4E, both F-16ADFs, both A-10s, A-7K.
I can keep going if you’d like, doesn’t really seem necessary.
Whats more telling is you completely ignoring it being a ‘specific aircraft as displayed ingame’ when shown that ‘specific airframe’ doesn’t even lineup with their supposed date.
Again, for balance reasons, it shouldn’t have the 63v2 right now. But saying it can’t is patently false.
Except there is very much information known for the differences of aim9x block 1 and block 2, python 4 and python 5. I can’t say the same for asraam block 1 and 6
Incorrect. The F15C MSIP II was outfitted with an AESA RADAR. That is part of the upgrade program. Then in 2006 the program started installing the V3 version of RADARs to them, so an upgraded AESA. This is just wrong. In game it was given the wrong RADAR because well they are bias against NATO vehicles actually being strong.
This is where you are wrong, we have tons of data on its RCS. That’s the downfall of bringing them to air shows. If you don’t think when that thing would travel to an air show that we didn’t have full teams of people dissecting it you are living in a bubble. It has an RCS of 1.0. The F22A has an RCS of less than 0.0001. The F18 has an RCS of 1.0… The SU-57 is as stealthy as an F18. That is the risk you run of showing off your plane at an airshow, especially one close enough to our RADARs for us to get a full 360 image of it.
This has zero relevance… None… Mass produced isn’t a standard for this game. This wouldn’t be a discussion if the aircraft was soviet. All soviet vehicles in game are given the absolute top tier model of treatment.
The number of vehicles outfitted has absolutely zero relevance in this game, and is a stupid cop out at best. soviets are not held to this standard. The Yak 141 is a prime example of this. If one single aircraft got the upgrade, then the soviet tech tree would be at that level of build. It is always this way. You still have soviet vehicles that haven’t been produced yet being added. You always try to make this disingenuous argument. “Oh but they only built one squadron of them” meanwhile the 2S38 sits in the soviet tree having still not been delivered 2 years later than it was supposed to be…
KS-172 appears to be permanentally shut down for now. R-37M appears to be a downgraded export missile with less range than R-37, so not sure if it has any place.
There is however R-33 and R-33S before the R-37, so I’ll amend the post to include those.
