No

SDB. Cool. I hope they will add jassm as analogue of grom

[MythicPi]

These things are gonna ruin sim air and im so ready for it lmao

[ID_Heaven]

Maybe snail will rebalance air sim

[MythicPi]

im hoping the patriot isnt just a trailer thing and were going to see them as actual ground objectives in air sim along with a general rework of the objectives as per my suggestion posts:

Rework of Air Sim "Surveillance Aircraft" objective

Pyrenees is actually 128x128km afaik. And yeah most of the sim community is pretty disheveled from being ignored for the past 2 years, nice to see something new posted at least

Rework of the "Bomber" objective in Air Sim battles

Air simulation battles has long had the same handful of objectives for players to partake in beyond being an EC team deathmatch. These objectives are paramount for a team to have a good chance of winning the battle, but have many glaring issues that are overdue for being corrected. Objectives have no real impact on the general game-state beyond tickets. Objectives barely interact with the players, and do so in questionable ways when they do. Objectives are not roughly period appropriate…

Rework of the "Bombing Target" objectives in Air SB

Oooh. Yes, these would be fun. Especially if combined with overhauled target selection

Maybe even larger sim air maps for top tier (even afghanistan feels a bit cramped now). Thats probs all wishful thinking tho…

Hopefully they give it the other versions too that are more useful for ground RB.

I made a report of the f15c missing bol pods

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/chMiPijOwxh6

[ID_Heaven]

It was made arleady

[FPS_Master_Tim]

I figured it couldn’t hurt making a new one. I just wish the f15c would have Bol pods by now

[MythicPi]

I wish BOL worked properly…

[FPS_Master_Tim]

Yeah, I saw that they are supposed to be more effective than standard flares and chaff

[kitsune_qq]

even current not that bad - a lot of chaffs

[warthogboy09]

Based on tail number, it should be a -220 jet. So unfortunately will be a straight downgrade to the F-15C in A2A even with CFTs removed. Also SDBs without the Sniperpod is laughable.

[kitsune_qq]

Gaijin srill can say like “later modernized to 229”/camos doesnt interact with version/etc

[FPS_Master_Tim]

I can’t find anything concrete but I’m finding some information that it has the 229 engines and some information that it was possibly manufactured before them

[Acroute]

@kitsune_qq

later modernized to 229

-229 engines were not retrofitted to early production aircraft, so we can probably leave that out.

@FPS_Master_Tim

but I’m finding some information that it has the 229 engines and some information that it was possibly manufactured before them

The first F-15E to use -229 engine is 90-0233, so anything before that uses -220 engine.

[MythicPi]

Soooo are you confirming this is a 220 F-15E ingame…?

[Acroute]

Not yet, it’s just a possibility.

[kizvy]

Just wait for dev

[MythicPi]

I mwan, im not really bothered either way, im gonna be using it to single handedly win sim games if left alone for any somewhat significant period of time, the 220 engines wont stop that from happening, the 229’s would just help.

Thank you for the info tho!
