It can carry 6 AMRAAM its actual flight performance aswell eclipses the F15-E in terms of manoeuvres and acceleration only place it don’t is top speed. Doesnt matter if it can play the same it will do it far better not to mention its also having better countermeasures suite and IRST
not realy, you can see that on 3 different aeasa radars being developed
We haven’t proven that to the devs yet
Hasnt prevented additions in the past
Yes, because it’s a 4.5 gen and the F-15s are 4th gen, and thus there is a fairly obvious disparity in their capabilities, however it won’t be able to outperform the F-15s in BVR until the addition of the Meteor because they will both share similar fox-3 firing envelopes, so in the meta they will function the same as long as the best missile in game is the AIM-120
6 is possible, its just not proven that it can carry AMRAAM on the inner wing pylon, but AMRAAM/Meteor can be carried on the 2nd outer pylon, but then you’d sacrifice a TMC pylon, which if you have ASRAAM possibly is not worth it.
You can see the position for the 5th and 6th BVRAAM here.

Alright that clears things up then, the weaponry loading charts are very inconsistent

Ah, to be fair, not that important given current wt meta in RB and mainly in Sim is BVR. I dont even carry 9Ms on eagle anymore.
Something they have proven reluctant to add for AMRAAM carriers
I just wish they would reduce multipath of top tier ARHs to 40m, ground hugging is still too rewarding / common. (Something that caused an increase of airfield camping lately from my experience.)

don’t put that much faith in gaijin, its UK, Germany, & Italy getting this

yeah, its nuts. The maps are too flat. They should just go and make early radar missiles ending with skyflash, 7E2, 7F and R24R - 60 meters, mid life - R27s, 7M, Aspide, super temp, S530F 40m and fox 3s… make it 20-25 for it to barely work. Even that 20 figure is achievable on some maps but you might get splashed from ground impact.

I’m confused. I thought Eurofighters had CAPTOR radars. Either CAPTOR E or M. And M is an AESA system.
But this seems to be some form of upgrade to captor E that still mechanically wants to move the AESA "dish? " “plate?” what do you call that part?
CAPTOR-E (has multiple variants) is AESA, CAPTOR-M is MSA.

Yeah I edited that as I just noticed it.
E is AESA. M is mechanical. M is afaik the D version which came after the C variant was upgraded due to being outdated.
every M should be the same (unless its a C).
theres 3 E versions
Mk0: Initial ECRS with 2 plane swivel
Mk1: a significantly upgraded Mk0
Mk2: new version with only 1 plane rotation, new functionality but bigger, heavier and more expensive so only on T3A or higher

notably as well that different countries decided for mk1 and mk2
germany was mk 1 , uk mk 2
i think italy decided to go for mk 0 now because they didnt wanna wait anymore ? @Il_Signor_Regio besides that were part of mk2
spain was mk1 as well i think
generaly mk 0 is supposed to be the export variant
Making multipath worse with the current gamemodes would be an awful change unless your only source of fun is playing BVR LARP with F-15s because that’s going to be the only viable strategy for RB. At least right now some aggressive play is possible.
