finaly

should have been the case since it was added (it was a restriction for only flares when LANTRN pod was used)

and then when it was later switched to sniper it should have gotten full countermeasure capabilities

of course for some reason F15I is getting flares and chaff there despite using the same LANTRN pod that should block the flares

looks like basically a worse f-15e for dogfighting. Ofc though, better fm for general arb.

su-27s - 16300 kg
f-15ex - 16100kg
su-27 variants other than the heaviest ones mollywhop it in dogfights.

Ofc though, f-15ex can easily outspeed them though

actually nvm, it has worst sustained turn than the su-30sm2 (which is almost 19tons).
So it’s low k a complete brick in dogfights


It’s better than the su-33/su-34 though at least

who would have guess that the max range for AN/APG-82(V)1 is still lower than the IRL range for the AN/APG-63 (the radar on the F-15A)

Looks like they went “marketing lies mode”. Send them F-15EX acquisition reports please

bc the Volunteers are a bit special when the dev server opens

even more so than the normal BRMs

Also from what I’ve seen it looks like it’s using legacy JHMCS.

Wrong

EX uses D-JHMCS

Is it full color?

Video on that page is nightmare fuel

iam not on the dev server yet

that screenshot is all i have atm

and then you realise that Sniper pod sits under left nacelle

it dosent
it sits on the right side of the F-15

it is on the left side when looking at the F-15 from the front

having just been on dev I can confirm that there is no change in this

you still have to chose either the countermeasures or the tgp

They just made it so average US main wouldn’t acidentally forget to place CMs under right nacelle and go to battle completely without protection
