The F-15E/I might be the worst offender yet

the only vehicle in the US TT air tech tree that isnt gimped is the f16c, but thats because its an end of line vic until we get AESA radars
edit: f15c is also very good as well
Isnt it getting a RWR nerf?
Hello guys how are, i hope all of you are ok and doing fine, right now i just want to achieve equity between these nations and such aircrafts (F-15E/F-15I) i think that the most amazing decision that gaijin could take is the next: put in the american F-15E the PW-229 an engine that is totally known that can be introduced in the F-15E and also various of the american F-15E got long time ago this would make the american F-15E an amazing fighter and also a very deadly strike fighter like it should be but also for the F-15I Ra´am to recive his proper air to air configuration (AIM-120A, Python-4, AIM-9L, AIM-7M) no AIM-9M (completly fictional) but also no AIM-120C because of balance reasons.
In 2008 Israel purchased a very small batch of AIM-9M for the F-16C/D Block 30 which were to be taken out of operational service a few years later, these F-16C/D Block 30 were used for patrol task and kept armed with AIM-9M and Python-4 until they are taken out of service, I strongly reiterate that none of the F-15s both the variants F-15A/B Baz, F-15C/D Baz Meshupar and F-15I Ra am have ever been equipped with AIM-9M since the IAF did not have at that time in its inventory said missile and also the Python-4 was already in service since 1994, the IAF found no reason to buy and use the 9M having the Python-4, the first two units that left the factory of Boeing came armed with AIM-120C and Python-4 as you can see in this book contribution that i wanted to make now to clear many things about this jet.
i personally belive that the Python-4 should be added first of all because it was not in the IAF inventory at that time and also i wasn´t used in none of their F-15s this weapon does not correspond for the Ra´am to have it, gaijin denied the AGM-65 maverick for all the IAF jets because of this soo why should the AIM-9M be there if its not correct? (this is what double standard means right?).
another thing that i want to put in the table about the Python-4 that involve other missiles too, is publicly know that the Magic-2 in real life have a 4 element seeker a super advance technology thing that cannot be replicated in game because we know what could happen, the japanese AAM-3 in real life have a dual-waveband seeker IR/UV (similar technology that the Python-4 have) and we know that in the game is not represented like that, another example the chinese PL-5E-II in real life uses two-color multi-detector seeker (ALSO TY-90 have this) and we perfectly know that the PL-5E-II in game is not represented like that, soo my point is with this in mind guys why the Python-4 cannot be added? if it could be perfectly gimped like the rest of the missiles mentioned, why israel cannot have his own IRCCM missile (gimped) but adding something unique that would make the jet a little bit different and atractive for the players that are interested in something different, soo my proposal here is: give to the american F-15E his PW-229 engines like it could and should have making it better for air and also for ground, and for the F-15I his historical Python-4 but (gimped) the devs can do it like they did with other missiles before no excuses! the devs can totally add the Python-4 with a gatewidth IRCCM for example and it would be perfectly fine.
sorry for the long comment but i think that this would make all of us happy with both jets having what they should have, if you guys like the idea we can make a poll to vote or just like this comment.

Then israel is gonna get the F-16I and japan gets the F-2, meanwhile they’ll leave us with the same F-16c without any upgrades whatsoever
when we get the f2 we probably will get the aesa version of the f16 in the same patch
You would think
Are you seriously asking for the python 4 right now
look im all for giving the E its 229s but giving the python 4 is stupid
like that would be like giving the f4f ICE to germany when the f4e came out

another one, pls read all the comment before giving an answer!
The python 4 is already in the files and it’s been tested, the missile is stupidly broken, it has the same energy as an r27et nearly, and 50gs of pull iirc. If gaijin has to give unrealistic 9ms to israeli planes because the only other option would break the game then that’s understandable
bro your mega-comment mentions the python 4 7 times, in the strike eagle engine thread

Even a gimped python 4 is going to be extremely good, at that point you could just ask for the python 3
what are you looking for in the stats? the delta V? let me say to you that this value means nothing, i personally tested the Python-4 and your statement about having the same energy as an R-27ET is wrong the missile cannot reach a target past 4.5km if the target is at mach 1 in chase, soo… pls again before missinforming you should look more deeper into the stats and do test too… you would be really surprised to see that the Python-4 is not what you think.
the python 4 can historically pull pre nerf r73 shenanigans (pulling a 180 for a target as you fly past)
until we get things like the 9x and the upgraded r73 the python 4 is probably gonna stay shelved, why? because it is a busted missile in any form of close in fight even if it had its IRCCM nerfed to hell and back like the magic 2 did

Buddy I watched a video of someone using that thing, it is insanely good, it has more pull and range than any other ir missile in the game (less range than only the ET) the 9m is more than enough for the game right now, I’m sure they’ll add the python 4 once more similar missiles are added, because right now that would break the game, ESPECIALLY on the F-15I
this, the 9m is already crazy good, the python 4 is unneeded and will stay unneeded for a long time

Also can you take this to a different thread, we aren’t here to argue with you about the israeli planes getting more broken additions, we’re just trying to get a fair version of the F-15E
I really can’t understand why Gaijin keep giving worse version of vehicles to US, even though they are the original maker.
Seems intentional to me.
