Right, I do think it would generally be better for the health of Air RB to make em mandatory on the E/I, but alas
I’m okay with it, honestly I don’t see it being as big of a thing as some people have made it out to be. I understand it gets 8-10k lbs more thrust but that doesn’t help the extra weight it carries from the structural changes.
Lets hope we can at least keep that, though I can’t imagine myself going through 240 CM in a single match, let alone 360.
Don’t forget that the F-15I can only use the GBU-15 if it removes its wing mounted amraams, leaving it completely defenseless in an air to ground configuration.
It actually does afaik, without its CFTs the extra thrust should outweigh the reinforced airframe mass quite easily. Its like 3 tons heavier tops for almost 25% extra thrust. It won’t be worlds better but still a measurable upgrade to F-15C in every way, radar is much better too after all
At least now we can keep on auto dispense
I’ve never tried using auto dispense, guess it’s about time to test it out.
There’s a keybind to turn it on and off (I believe “turn on/off periodic countermeasure release”), and you can customize its quantity and interval in the spawn menu through dropdowns.
Thanks! I just tend to spam the chaff/flare button as it’s located near my thumb on my mouse lol
I feel like we’re going to go through a very similar process regardless.
Is it that hard to actually give israel something good for once???
the F15I is unchanged tho the weather or not the us one gets the same engines isnt gonna make the isreal 1 any better or worse

Sure but now its the same as the US one minus the strike ability meaning its overall worse than the US variant.
Oh no, gaijin has done that export variant is worser than original! What a shame
OH NO the F15I is an upgraded israely variant of the F15E what a shame!

Upgraded not always means better.
i dont know why people are crying so much over not having a sub par missile, sure having 6 mavs makes it better at cas but only sightly as ir gbu 15 are actually better than mavs anyway you just have less of them
2 bomb vs 6 missile, 2 possible kill that forces you to take altitude vs 6 possible kill that doesn’t require altitude
