I’d say it is possible as we saw in the past that the Navy shared tech with the Air Force and it is logical: Big stick= more range than small stick (AIM-260 in this case)
This has happened 3 times ever
We need 4th gen prototypes before they even attempt 5th gen. I’d rather see ST21 and the F-15SE before any 5 gen aircraft.

I wonder by how much. Because the Aim-54 hit a 110 mile shot, and that’s supposed to be beyond the Aim-120Ds range.
AIM 172B is only limited by the radar guiding it, I recommend watching

This is from BAE
Mentions 50% more countermeasures. That means 360 cm in total

yeah, pretty much. they are ALE-47 dispensers though, so on the EX and E, they can carry BriteCloud 218 active decoy countermeasures

i think the f15IA might have more since israel has a tendency to give its planes additional countermeasures
Can’t carry more than any other Advanced Eagle, and that’s without even bothering with the missing BOL CMs on US Eagles.

I pray that the U.S air force will have a crazy idea and take a photo of the EX with BOL on. Every single Eagle can take BOL, even the E. I’ve made a bug report on the E and they said that it never carried them. The A/C are still missing the BOL

If you want to improve a bug report on this, look into proving the F-15E/EX is compatible with the LAU-128B/A or LAU-128C/A.

f15IA will have more, israel almost always give its planes more countermeasures
That’s what i kinda did. The bug report manager said “it never carried it”.
Would anyone happen to know if the F-15EX offers improved TWR compared to the current F-15E in-game?
Even if it is - not by much, maybe a bit lighter systems
F-100-PW-229 have only marginal difference in thrust from F-110-GE-129
this says 14,500kg empty weight, slightly heavier than F-15E but because GE-129 is slightly better in AB, it should balance it out
Where did the suggestion post get 15,694kg then?
wikipedia maybe, thats listed as 15,694kg too
