AESA, Datalink, and Sensor Fusion

Yeah, definetly Gr1, I dont think there has been 100% proof yet for Italy and Germany, but for the sake of balance, they all should get them.

F3 should also get 1x Phimat for an extra 210 chaff in place of 1x Aim-9. We could also get 2x Phimat in place of the fuel tanks (was done in Granby but less valuable than the 1x Phimat in place of Aim-9 and I usually would still run tanks I think)

They absolutely should, just like they do IRL. Advanced MiG-29 Fighter Crashes in Southern Russia, Killing Pilot – Reports - The Moscow Times These things are falling apart in the sky.

so do your precious F-35s

But we’ll forget about that. Okay?

It’s a good thing American planes never crash then.

Not like no one ever hears about it over there, when the crashes simply don’t reach the press

No F-35s were damaged in this picture.

They make the press…it’s just part of doing business.

The F-15 has more crashes than it has air to air kills.

Lol is this true?

It probably has more total flights hours than any other combat aircraft (still in service) and that will be down to things like age, number of aircraft, number of operating countries, etc

So actually that isnt all that surprising

It is not true, the Mig was nicknamed the flying coffin though due it having killed literally hundreds of pilots and civilians due to mechanical failures. More than half the migs built have crashed due to failures. The only fighter in the world that can claim that record.

1999 for the first AESA, 1984-1985 for the first MSIP models.

by who, in my years as a cold war-modern military aviation fan I have never heard the Mig-29 referred to as the ‘flying coffin’, please wipe the drool off your lip and do some research on these statements before dribbling to us again

The USAF alone has lost 123 of them from 1972 - 2013. Other countries have also crashed F-15s.
It’s a thing that happens.

Notice that DocUSMC isn’t upset about any of the US stuff not falling apart at certain G limits. For instance the F-14 was structurally limited in the same way that the MiG-29 was. So was the F-4 as well and pretty much any American aircraft.

I’m sure.

The JHMCS (not HMSD) was never an integrated system that was forced to work with an AESA. Seeing as it came out a year before operational status of the APG-63v3… Who’s to say it was an AESA model?

You might want to go to the doctors office and get checked for brain worms.
We are talking about the MiG-29 buddy.

War Thunder does, in the planes description. “Introduced in Update “seek & destroy”, the F-15C MSIP II in its mid-2000s variant serves…” Hmm look at that…

Still a flying coffin. Let me know when they finally have more kills than they do crashes and losses in combat. Right now it ain’t lookin so good.

Did I say otherwise? JHMCS was first applied to the F-15 in 2005.

The F-15 has 4 dozen more crashes than kills.
