Best part is that target tracks and such don’t even display out to the full scale of the HUD, they cut off way before the edge.

Its a very low quality job they did.

Are you surprised? It’s Gaijin. They havent even made half the vehicle models ingame themselves.

The F-15E 86-0183 (Block 41) to 90-0232 (49) gets the 220. The F-15E 90-0233 (also Block 49) and beyond gets the 229.

doesnt mean that 41-49 block can be upgraded to 229’s

only some Block 49s. The Block 49 is 90-0227-90-0244. So the last 11 Block 49s can get the upgraded engine. But anythinf beyond those are fair game for the 229. I have a manual from 1993 and am looking for grounds to stand on.

So what’s the point of the 220s (I know the balancing response) when they could just say hey it gets its modern version. If they cared that much about the version of the plane, they would name it and base everything off of the model year, which isn’t the case

Exactly! Its simply a matter of choosing another squadron. The specific squadron and serial number should not be a factor in modeling the aircraft (unless it’s a prem/event with that specification).

All Gaijin needs to do is pick a different squadron. And not to mention afaik the squadron we have right now eventually got 229s anyways.

Regardless, they should give the F-15E its 229 engines. There is no reason to give one nation the best of either gamemode and then claim balance. That’s simply not how balance works. This whole situation is so needless, and Gaijin should always have planned to give 229 engines to the E.

i think what gaijin should do (and many people agree with) is give the E 229’s and give the I some type of domestic AGM. Cause only having 2 self tracking bombs being the GBU-15 is kinda crazy if you ask me.

Not an issue.
