an absolute L. Upgrade the engines and FM of the struggling planes such as the mig29 not the ones which are already OP.
you say that, but 240CM is still plenty for ARB, the extra is a safety net that i can only see being actually useful in a gamemode like sim

wrong thread
MiG-29s and Flankers aren’t relevant to this discussion

this is a tread about the f15E/i bringing up the mig 29 here makes no sense
The reason why we add Popeye for F-15I and not F-111F is because to add the “missing mavericks” to the F-15I. Keep in mind Israel more or less only has guided bombs, kurnass being excluded here. Fire and forget weapons are limited to 2 per aircraft being the GBU-15. 2 additional if you use the GPS bombs.
SPICE or Popeye allows more than 2 fire and forget weapons to be equipped with proper homing.
No problem. Just doing what is right.

Sharing my opinion on the matter. I believe the f15 doesn’t need an upgrade therefore its fully relevant to the thread. Stop making nonsensical claims based on the fact that we don’t have the same opinions
Furthermore, i was providing an example not explicitly tagging the planes - therefore the “such as”
You’re the one coming out of left field bringing up the Fulcrum and Flanker. They are irrelevant to this discussion. Feel free to bring those up in another thread, I will 100% support them getting a FM buff.
The F-15I is already getting the 229 engines, so your point is mute. The question was would the US be getting an equivalent to what is 100% already coming.

what kinda guidance and tracking range do they have, thats usualy the limiting factor for if the devs add something to the game or not
That’s not what I’m saying. I was saying the UK (the British, or Australian rather) F-111C is in the same boat. Same BR as its US counterpart (the F-111F) but with no Maverick missiles (the C model in fact has 0 fire and forget AG ordnance). So I am very in favor of adding the Popeye at the least, as it would be nice for Israel and the F-111C, which is more incentive for Gaijin because they like to copy paste. If we only look at SPICE, then there is less opportunity for copy pasting. Of course both SPICE and Popeye should be modelled, but you know how Gaijin can be.

When did i bring up the flanker?
So pathetic, try reading my post again and open your eyes for once.
This just goes to show how bad the imbalance is - the bluefor mains already assume that the flanker should be getting an upgrade just because a comment was shared. So sad indeed
G. You are on “American F-15E Strike Eagle Engine” (yes fm buff for su 27 and mig 29)

Both are struggling and I would support them getting FM buffs. Go make another thread about those and I will support them getting buffs.
But calling the F-15E getting its 229 engines an L because you think other planes should get a buff instead is narrow minded.

Why don’t you think it needs an upgrade (besides it not strictly “needing” one isnt a good reason to keep it downgraded)
Why shouldn’t it be?
So funny how you were telling me off for being off topic and now you are. Least contradicting US main, but I digress.
Being critical of the current balance is not “narrow minded”, so choose your words correctly or not at all if you are going to try and make an irrelevant and an inaccurate comment.
And Israel will now be the ones behind again it seems. They’ll be missing the extra CMs along with standoff weaponry. Great…
Wait, what happened to the extra countermeasures?
The F-15I has identical CMs to the F-15E last I checked on the dev. Has that since changed?
Just gonna ignore this.
It is actually. You aren’t taking broader balance into account (ie. the F-15I already has 229 engines) and are simply doing a whataboutism.
I stated before, I am all for the Flankers and Fulcrums getting their FMs buffed. But go make another thread and poll so we can vote on it.
The projection is strong with this one
