So let’s break it down like this.
The US F-15E Strike Eagle is capable of carrying almost every munition in the USAF inventory, according to the Air Force’s facts & display sheet of the F-15E.
This list includes, but not limited to:
GBU-10 / GBU-12
GBU-24
GBU-39 / GBU-53
GBU-31 / GBU-38 all versions
GBU-62 / GBU-64 all versions
GBU-54 all versions
Point is, this thing is capable of carrying GBU-54s. A munition as we all know, is incredibly effective in air-to-ground gameplay and much more superior to the lacking GBU-12’s and GBU-38’s.
Obviously the F-15E can carry a whole wide variety of different munitions that Gaijin hasn’t added into the game yet, but they have added the GBU-54 into the game. But why is it given to other nations, but not to the US tech tree’s F-15E or even the F-16C? Even though both aircraft can carry them?
Not to mention, they give it to the F-18 series, which is correct, but they classify the F-15E as a strike fighter, and not the F-18 series. So why give a non-strike fighter the best guided bomb per their nation, but not give it to an actual strike fighter?
Better yet, why does Britain, Germany, Italy, and France get the better munitions, such as GBU-54s while also getting Paveway IV’s? Now, it makes sense why they get Paveway IV’s, since the UK created the Paveway IV weapons system, but GBU-54? I mean come on, that’s a Raytheon Technologies munition, which is a US company.
I don’t know, just doesn’t make a lot of sense and I think Gaijin needs to look more into this.
