can yall boost this a bit. Might get the American closer to the Japanese one
Is there a dedicated thread for the AGM-65? Couldn’t find one, so as this one was used for it a bit in the past, I guess I’ll post it here for those interested.
Anyways, seems that the rumored AGM-65 fixes from the leaks was only limited to the tracking rate of the laser variants and FoVs of the IIR ones. Sadly nothing yet on drag and rocket engine. So I went tinkering a bit myself.
Calibrated using AGM-65G graphs from the AV-8B tactical manual and 3 datapoints for sealevel. Not a lot of tested points at this moment either, but it took quite a while anyway. Might update post with more datapoint to test against.
Performance according to manual calibrated against (all sealevel M0.9):
6.7km – 20s – ~282 m/s
9.15km – 30s – slightly over 244 m/s
13.1km – 50s - less than 213 m/s
Live performance:
6.7km – 23.1s (+15.5%) – 216.6 m/s (-13.2%)
9.15km – 36.0s (+20%) – 162.5 m/s (-33.4%)
13.1km – could not reach target, crashed at 11km
Tweaked performance:
6.7km – 19.9s (-0.5%) – 281.4 m/s (-0.2%), interestingly this one overshot the target slightly
9.15km – 28.8s (-4%) – 247.2 m/s (+1.3%, but it has to be a bit higher)
13.1km – 47.3s (-5.4%)-- 190.6 m/s (-10.5%, but it has to be lower)
Loft wasn’t touched, as at least visually it looked very similarly to what it is supposed to do as described in another weapon delivery manual. It gains ~700m in altitude at sealevel at long range launches and M0.9 speed, which corresponds to the manual as well.
Videoset of one such test:
(idk what happened regarding the audio, also don’t mind the damage, it was intentionally set to really low)
Spoiler
Original:
Tweaked:
TLDR: to get roughly within ~5% or so from manual graphs, with real engine performance inputted, drag needs to be additionally decreased by ~38% to 0.95, whilst wing area multiplier slightly decreases with ~18% (decreasing lift) to 1.25.
EDIT: I seem to have made one major mistake lmao. I accidently left thrust vectoring code in the file, so this is a thrust vectoring Maverick. However luckily it seemed to have made not a huge difference, pretty much same exact performance can be achieved now however with a drag coefficient of 0.98, so a ~36% less than live. This also means the chart for live performance isn’t correct, and it actually performs worse.
EDIT2: I tested it against some extra datapoints of the M0.5 and M0.7 curve, and it actually matches up still within ~5% error. I honestly didn’t think it could match so well. Sadly I don’t think Gaijin would accept this sort of method for bug reporting.

Nice. Gaijob doesn’t care unfortunately

Finished my report for the AN/ALE-58 BOL for the F-15E

i like F15A but theres only one skin for it
From 2008
Also
GBU-39 buff?
BTW, there is supposed to be a SDB III. Basically 2 SDB’s into one. And one rack can combine the types of SDBs.
Arguably the F-15A should’ve gotten way more skins than it did, but that’s just on Gaijin’s part there (same thing happened with the F/A-18A).
Here are some that would’ve been very well liked:
I specifically neglected to include the Streak Eagle livery in my list because it currently is in-game, as a marketplace skin. None of the others I mentioned are.

Do you have a link to either of the presented sources; looks interesting.

Thanks, may come in useful in future.

Did you ask for feedback? When a suggestion is denied you are meant to contact a suggestion mod and ask why it was denied, they should then tell you the reason.
I didn’t realize the suggestion not being accepted also completely deletes the suggestion or any trace of it ever existing and I couldn’t be bothered to doing it all over again…
Anyway, just looked, it exists on WT Live anyway. WT Live // Camouflage by LeiteArts10
The fact that this has less downloads than an average weeb anime skin is just sad.

Basically you just send a suggestion mod a PM and ask about the suggestion. Whilst you can’t see it they can and if you ask they can give you back the code to just copy and paste the suggestion again.
But damn yeah I didn’t realise someone already made it too. Saving that for when I can get on and check it out.
Would be a shame if Gaijin missed out on this opportunity. Taking down a satellite with a damn fighter jet is a great accomplishment and as I mentioned, it is 50 years this September, so at least releasing the camouflage from WT Live into the game via loot boxes is the least they could do.
Literally no work for them.
F-15E too fat?
