In general, maybe, but can you be sure that Greek Rafale will get Meteor? It would leave Israel without anything at current top tier level, and they are already lacking
it could come without Meteor initially then when Meteor is added it would get it through technical compatibility
And with it go up in br. Which would leave Israel without anything at 14.7, as i said before
there is also Greek AESA F-16’s
Fair point. But i still think that US getting EX and someone else getting QA and SA is far more likely than even 2 of them geting in a same tech tree. Only possibility i see is that one of them will be introduced as a squadron vehicle, but i doubt that we will get one with this high of a br
possible for either one when gen 5 drops. F-15SA could be added to main tree theoretically as folder for EX at the same time as 5th gen too since its flown with USAF
Does it have anything over EX outside of MAWS that EX can theoretically get?
Harpoon missiles, and this one IRST that goes on the pylon for TGP based on F-14D IRST but its redundant since F-15EX gets LEGION IRST pod which is better.
Gaijin loves to add additional grind, but not if they have to do too much work to introduce it. Not enough changes to even consider foldering in my opinion. Could be an event, would probably sell like hot cakes since its F-15, all cool kids love F-15s after all
it would be a sidegrade to the EX, which is perfect folder material. but you are right, it could work as an event as well
the SA predates the EX just so we are on the same page, it has older radar and RWR
Still AESA and something similar to AN/ALR-56? It could be placed at 14.7 and EX a bit higher
both could be 14.7. F-15SA uses ALR-239 which is a much more modern RWR than ALR-56. tradeoff between ALQ-250 and APG-82v1 on EX being at least a little better is the MAW
Probably won’t be. At least not at the start. Su-35 needs its promised adversary, and F-15EX fits like nothing else (unless Gaijin will add a random F-22, but this is way to wild of an idea). Later down the line there is a possibility of F-15EX going down or Su-35 going up, but they are gonna be pitted against each other with 99% probability in my opinion

if they raised to 15.0, then they could do EX with AIM-120D-3 to make it worth the .3 increase from 14.7
ain’t no way next batch of top tier lands at 14.7, so 15.0 is expected (gaijin is too afraid to introduce more than one br jump per update). And since USA still missing anything at 14.7, it might be EX/QA/SA or just F-15E with AESA, pick your poison
strike eagle with AESA would be 14.7 most likely. maybe even 14.3 if it doesnt get the C’s extra AIM-120’s.
but for 15.0, EX with 16x 120D-3 would be nice even without MAW. export advanced F-15 dont have the D or D-3
Hopefully BVR will be made more reliable as well, otherwise there would be not much point in adding D-3s or R-77Ms if they will be just upgrades for an irrelevant playstyle

the only way i can see it is in turkey / saudit / ( maybe pakistan ) tree with all recent relations
so, it should go to US tree since you are talking about a tree that doesnt exist
you can say that for now. but its a possiblty as the others country that are suppose to be sub tree are not in fact sub tree.
