Yep
How can 6xAIM120D beat J10C’s 8xPL12A or FA18E’s 12xAIM120D?
I don’t think this plane can even beat FA18E or F15CGE in ARB 14.3

Who is no one?
I mean in terms of range the KH38s can already cross an entire map on their own, some players are still spamming them from the AF right into spawn. It wouldn’t be unfair to have JASSMs or JSOWs especially considering the carrying limit. F/A-18E should already have access to AGM-84Es but somehow we are still stuck on JDAMs and Mavs. The newest weapon system we get to use is the APKWS for which I’d honestly just use regular Hydras due to how “maneuverable” they are.
D is probably going to be better than C which is why Gaijin is giving it exclusively to otherwise underperforming fighters
awh sucks, welp at least we know now
Sad I thought I could at least see the model of it in game
it would definitely be nerfed in performance
We need the GE-132
If they try to make this just a radar upgrade and not the full PoBIT upgrade and this plane will be a gigantic disappointment and waste of time.
Oh hey look at the nothing burger
a useless Bomb that that can be shot down by the new unneeded SAM
APG 83 SABR only have 120x 120 degrees coverage, won’t be powerful
AIM120D only going to get GNSS and a longer battery life
The PW229 are underperforming and it not powerful
the flight performance won’t be great
Copy pasted Air to ground munitions
the AGM 65D and G ain’t cutting it
GBU 12 and 24 Paveways
GBU 39
GBU 31 and GBU 38 GPS bombs
What is missing
GBU 53 Storm breakers
PIDS
Legion IR pod
RAM coating
IVEWS + ALR-69A

More variants huh?
For sure but it would be very weird if it wasnt better than the C
It seems like this should be 14.0 instead of 14.3

GNSS in guidance package for missiles only reduces IOG drift from whatever value to zero. Which would be relevant only for “dumb” launches without datalink assist at extremely long ranges against extremely predictably flying targets.
120D has been in game files for at least one update cycle, so far they continue to be C5 copypaste but with longer battery time, GNSS added to guidance package and 360 launch capability, which is extremely ironic for new F-16C having only ±60 degrees gimbal on the radar.

As most of the latest US air—and even ground—additions: DOA, currently unnecessary and even overshadowed by other aircrafts within the same update.
Gaijin had the chance to introduce the F-15E RMP or the F-15EX while both still being slightly behind the meta but at least giving a competitive kinematic aircraft for the current top tier environment, but it’s clear they’re neglecting the air tree as a whole, and there’s no point on denying it anymore.
If they gave it the triple AMRAAM pylon, it’d be somewhat worth picking, but right now its just a nothing burger.
And of course they’ll take months before making the plane interesting, and by then? They’ll release another DOA aircraft, and the cycle continues (Notice how I’m not even touching the AIM-120D subject, that’s how pathetic this is).

why is it worse than the 50 it has the PW-229 engines so more thrust right ?
Israel should have got that vechicle later tbh so the Dev would be open today
The Dev isn’t opening
No, the should not, the game already have enough Copy Paste vehicles
