I have no idea what the release pattern is for 4x BOL vs 2. It might just be the Gripen E is dropping double the BOL per press, increasing effectiveness, that or you can just spam more.
You also have 80 LCMs + 12 CMs that will augment the BOL too, so might be some of those being dropped in the mix
Fucked if I know. Just looked back and saw my flares with next to zero velocity and was super confused as to how I’d managed to survive for so long off BOL alone.
If I had more energy I’d look into it in more depth
have you tried to use a mediocre M scan radar against ESA radars?
there is no world in which the F15E radar is “solid” for the BR
same as every other F15 (besides CGE) even F15A should have detailed NCTR, but they invented a fictional version of the radar to deny it
you can reliably defeat them by preflaring and turning, which F15E cant do for long because it doesnt get enough flares
it doesnt for GRB, if you bring a targeting pod you lose half your countermesures (it shouldnt but does), and GBU-53 camera isnt good enough to replace a targeting pod
Like they had advertised on a simulator, implying it does have the capability, unlike the F-15E which outright does not? Again, carriage is not capability.
Defence contractors famously waste time adding fictional capabilities outside of the scope of the client’s contract to simulators. They definitely love adding extra complexity and software maintenance.
It was extra MBDA Meteor actually, but I don’t think anyone who plays this game is ready for that idea yet.
All of this is completely pointless, though. No EF2K operator even uses the spice bomb, and imo they shouldn’t even be on the aircraft ingame. Brimstone should be implemented correctly.
You can ask literally any F-15E crew chief or air crew and they tell you exactly that. They’re not exactly hard to find.
they are playing the technical compability game. everything thats has been added to buff EFT was for either tranch 5 weaponry or a more modern tranch simulation.
