I am talking about THE GAME brudda. In-game 7M have a relatively shallow loft if you launch it at distant targets that are around the same altitude as you

is f-15jm worth spading for arb if you have american f-15c and f-2 already?
its much better than F15C MSIP
better missiles and a better flight model
J(M) is lighter than the American one alongside it having AAM-4s and AAM-3s. Japanese teams might also be better or have a more favorable match maker compared to American teams, though i cannot say definitively if thats correct tho. The other stuff is true
Does anyone know about the scan area of Dragon eye radar pod? Also any picture of F-15EX carrying it?
Just F-15E photo
Now that the Air Force is buying 200 something F-15EXs, I imagine that every piece of tech from the Strike Eagle will migrate to the EX.
Do you know its scan area? Can it track and lock targets that are on it’s side?
Haven’t found any brochures stating it. The only thing that i’ve found on a national guard site was that the radar in the pod is mounted on a gimbal axis. I figure it could track targets to the sides, yes
What’s the max missile load on the F-15EX? I know a lot of people say it’s 22 because of this.
But I’ve never seen a EX carrying 22 missiles, I’ve only ever seen 12.
16 should be max with the same rack as F-15C GE. 22 is only possible if belly mounted racks are also used which should give it 20 or 22. (Which if i am not mistake was only a mockup)
However IRL it is 12 as USAF never used AMBER or MRML racks (IIRC) Edit: MRML is indeed used by USAF in the F-15EX in station 1 and 9
Thanks a ton.
Really?? I remember a ton of people complaining that the GE didn’t get AMBER racks when it came out.
F-15EX is confirmed to be compatible with MRML and has been mounted with it so it can get it on the same basis as the F-15CGE imo.
It is compatible, I know that, but is the USAF using it IRL?
They aren’t, but they also weren’t using it on golden eagles. Compatibility is all that should matter in this case.
Well, quick correction
They TECHNICALLY are as the outer missile racks are MRML themselves. They just haven’t been seen using them on the inner pylons.
Yeah it is, I meant that the USAF hasn’t been seen utilising inner pylon MRML in service yet. That plane is owned by Boeing. But regardless, it’s most certainly a certified store/loadout and we’ll likely see it in use soon.
they havent used AMBER
but do use MRML operationally
MRML is the rack they use to carry amraams on stations 1 and 9, and as its been shown to be functional mounted to stations 2 and 8, the in game missile load should be at least 16
edit: also as above it is being shown carrying aim-9x
which could give the EX a 12 aim-9x loadout with 4 amraams if IR meta ever comes back
Thanks for correcting me. I’ll edit that. But do they use MRML in station 2 and 8 IRL as well or is it just 1 and 9?
