Yeah my point is right there, the MKM has capability so it got the kh38. Therefore Gaijin can add the 120D to typhoons. Only reasone why they didn’t was because they think typhoons are good enough so they don’t need it.
There’s the F-15EX and AESA F-15E’s. There is also F-15E1 with AESA, RAM coating, CWB, but using the earlier 220 engines. There is also the F-15D MSIP II but doubt Gaijin would add that with AIM-120D.
Well it’s all messy. I know the F-15C GE and Super Hornets are probably all the worst 14.3s statistically and by a mile, so maybe like you and everyone else said, they’ll add it to those aircraft.
what is it ?
Well that’s different. The su-30 airframe itself with other countries used Kh-38, so the mkm got it since it’s compatible. Eurofighter airframe with any country did not get AIM-120D though
This article is in portuguese but you see certainly a f15c was shoot an aim-120D
Germany got Aim120D-3, not sure which aim120D Gaijin will be adding but yes Germany can put the Aim120D on their typhoons

It’s likely for their F-35, nothing I’ve seen confirmed that Typhoons has integrated AIM-120Ds with any countries.
I know it’s compatible, I’m saying it’s not the only thing that matters. Gaijin uses weaponry as a way of balancing vehicles
Mm just skipping the Aim-120C-7 and Aim-120C-8 I See… why couldn’t you just fix the Aim-120C-5 man… it’s not that hard

To be fair, maybe they did fix the earlier AMRAAMs, but they also decided to add the 120D. But usually afaik they don’t talk about missile fixes in CM updates.
Yeah because typhoons have meteors. Doesn’t change the fact Germany has aim120D and theoretically can put it on their typhoons.
They probably wouldnt model any difference between the C8 and baseline D.
Because fixing the C5 buffs all nations with the C5. Adding a new missile for US only, buffs only the US.
But their excuse for ignoring bug reports for the B/C5 are about to fail hard

Theoretically many countries can put many different missiles on many different aircraft.
I’d humbly prefer this one coming first. Reason being, It’ll leave the room clear for both the F-15Cs and F-16C branches for the F-15EX or even 5th gen in the foreseeable future.
UK and Italy also have Aim-120Ds, they probably are compatible and I recall something from somewhere about Germany exploring running 2x IRIS-T + 2x Aim-120D + 4x Meteor on their Typhoons, but CBA to go looking for the source.
But they could just add C8s which would probably be modeled to be the same as Ds anyway

Yup. Buffing the C5 doesn’t get the US up to Eurofighter level, it just ensures Typhoon is also buffed while the US stays behind them while buffed as well.
Yep. Though still need C5s to be buffed to be on par with R-77-1 and MICA EM at the bare minimum.
