If 120C seeker and flight performance got fixed, how potent would F-15C Golden Eagle duos be in sim?
Only on advanced eagles
14.3 easy especially with the fixed f15c fm
No. It is 16 total missiles, using AMBER racks on a C.
Up to *4 of those can be AIM-9s, but they can all be AIM-120s.
Theoretically it’s 22 on F-15EXs, with up to 8 AIM-9s, but all can be AIM-120s

I was talking f15E/EX
8 on wing stations with quad pylon, 8 on CFT pylons with amber rack. Maybe 2 additional on centerline pylon, but it’s copium
Tbh I don’t see how that would ever be put into service, that’s such a massively expensive and overkill payload lmao
It’s not E/EX.
E’s cannot use Sta 1&9, only FBW “Advanced Eagles”
with current in game performance, worse missiles, they just dont turn, and it would probably be stuck with 120C just to make it more painful
So only EX? Of the strike eagles
Yes.

That’s what I’m saying, Su-30SM can already carry 12+2IR with an ESA and do the same thing, while having a better missile, than a possible 16 AIM-120s on the Golden Eagle (which would require taking CFTs btw)
He’s talking r77-1
The radar on su30sm is pesa but in-game there’s essentially no difference
oh, thought you were saying 120 was better for some reason
Boeing simply offered it. “Anything you want, for your money.” But the Air Force didn’t exactly like it. Although I saw some documents indicating they wanted to buy the quad pylon.
well that disproves the “ferry pylon” BS that some people have been saying
Looks like GBU-38
GBU-38’s diameter smth like 17 inch. GMLRS-ER is 10 inch. Put GMLRS-ER on this pylon and make SPAA nuker for this game
i mean that was obvious, amber racks was always pretty clear about it being meant to expand magazine depth
