Yet another Baz Meshupar radar complaint, but this time more credible evidence has been found. Hopefully the game staff will take a look at this and forward to the devs.
TLDR; of the Baz Meshupar radar issue: The Baz M. has a different radar when compared to the F-15C MSIP II and the F-15(J)M which both have the AN/APG-63V(1) with Track While Scan (TWS). The AN/APG-63 PSP on the Baz M. lacks TWS and HMD for radar, making it essentially a worse version of the regular F-15C. There have been many bug reports/complaints about this issue but none of them have had “enough information” in Gaijin’s terms to be fixed.
PLEASE UPVOTE THE REPORT. THE MESHUPAR DESERVES TO HAVE TWS.
As a note this is not my own bug report, a friend of mine created it and this post is meant to raise awareness so the game staff will take a look at it sooner.
Don’t forget to upload the F-15 Armaments handbook showing it has compatibility with IR guided bombs. And the manual specifies it functions for EO/IR engagements.
It also having the PSP would give it the ability to have a software update to link the DASH HMD to the radar, but clearly we have to clue what we are talking about. I’ve thought about trying to find an ex Meshupar Pilot and seeing what i could ask him lol.
If you do find a Meshupar pilot the information would have to be in-writing as Gaijin afaik only accepts written (as in a manual/book) information to be reliable.
Here’s the requirements according to the bug report site:
The Israeli F-15C and F-16C/D in War Thunder are consistently portrayed as being inferior to their US versions, lacking features such as superior engines, TWS radar, and the ability to carry AIM-120A missiles, instead being limited to DERBY. However, in reality, the aircraft sold to Israel were typically customised and enhanced versions. Why does Gaijin choose to deliberately downgrade or misrepresent these aircraft?
Actually F-15C Baz Meshupar fitted AN/APG-63 PSP radar like USAF F-15C 80’s. But I’m very surprised gajin about this
However, in the future F-15I Ra’am BVR missile and close air support better Baz Meshupar because AN/APG-70i radar with 8 datalink, LANTIRN AN/AAQ-14 Sharpshooter targeting pod & AN/AAQ- 13 Pathfinder pod, Paveway II LGB, JDAM and domestic israel precision-guided munition
F-16C Block 40 Barak II in game or F-16C/D Block 30 Barak I
It’s unbelievable that Gaijin will really make changes in favour of Israel. Not long ago, they were still working on the report that BAZ has TWS/HMD Not a bug.
For me, I might hope Python 4 instead 2x AIM-9L & 6x AIM-9L. In Q3 2025 or Q1 2025 6x AIM-9M replace with Python 5, increase max BR to 14.3 and removed Derby from F-16D Block 40 Barak II
In fact F-15C Baz Meshupar fitted AN/APG-63 PSP radar like USAF F-15C MSIP II in 80’s
