But my FA2
It wouldn’t be called late, it’d be called MSIP 1.
True, however knowing gaijin’s fascination with “early” and “late” words it could be called as late as well.

There is no fascination with such words in WT.
yeah sure, A-10 late, A-10 late, T-2 early and many more does not exist in WT…

Because there are no other official designation.
You are the only one obsessed with late & early, don’t project your weird obsessions onto the game.
I will go into great lengths and explain F-14A “Early” or A-10A “Late” designations or how they can be named accurately but this is not the right topic to discuss those matters. I strongly advise you to quit falsely accussing people and dragging out this topic. If you (really) like to learn feel free to send me a DM and i will happy to teach you.
F-14A Early exists because F-14A has 2 versions & they’re not named differently IRL.
Same with A-10A.
The amount of “Vehice (P)” in this game is horrendous, even if actual names exist. Tell me how I would come up with the name “Type 16 (P)” when the year 2016 held no significance when it was made? Or maybe the “Type 87 (P)”?
Or, my personal favorite, the “TKX (P)”, which literally stands for “Tank Experimental (prototype)”, the prototype of a prototype. Not just that, but it isn’t even an earlier vehicle, but the same vehicle with the same serial number, as seen a few years earlier than the “TKX” we have in game.
Gaijin often miss names of prototypes and variants, simplifying it for people that don’t really care for those details and “(early)” and “(late)” are some of their favorite things to use for that.
Let’s take the T-2 (late) that you said had no other name and check the serial number, let’s see if it has a different designation. Turns out that aircraft is the XT-2, albeit with some hardpoints it never got fitted.
I don’t see why you’re always trying to pretend Gaijin makes no mistakes and is always right, on a forum largely designed for players to help improve on parts of the game they might have missed. Criticism is in no way an attack, it is what the forum is for.

All of which prove my point.
Word of the day: Pedantic.
BTW I don’t get why you post Gaijin is without flaws…
Since we were talking about the performance of missiles at low altitude, I wanted to mention something
Multipath is not the only real cause of the problem of missiles in this game not hitting at low altitudes.
Now it is not uncommon for a radar missile fired from a relatively high altitude to be guided within the operating range of the proximity fuse, but that operation is completely stopped, and at altitudes below 120 meters it is unresponsive even if it passes within 1 meter of the plane.
Furthermore, even in the case of a direct hit, the missile does not explode, and damage is caused only by kinetic energy.
On the other hand, with infrared missiles, the fuse seems to work just fine at low altitudes.
I am not an expert and do not know if this is really true, but this does not seem to be realistic behavior.
What a cocky response over such an insignificant matter lmao, cringe asf

None of which prove your point. Your point was Gaijin used the most accurate designation unless none was there, I gave examples of vehicles they literally cut out the prototype designation out of the priginal name (See “Type 87 (P)” for the Type 87 RCV, when the prototype was known as RCV)
You can call it pedantic all you want, that’s your opinion, but don’t pretend there is no issue here just because you don’t care.
People can read what I wrote, they will see that is not at all what it was. This strategy might’ve worked in pre school, but on a written discussion nobody will fall for it.

Just checked some of the F15 features, but when shooting a AIM-7M, I don’t see the shoot que lights in the cockpit coming on. Shouldn’t those light up when all the launch parameters are met?
Just unlocked & crewed F-15A (at first wanted to get F-15J but - even with a talisman - F-4EJ Kai is nothing but a pain) Anyways, after couple games with completely stock f-15 i almost went insane. Games often end too quick for going AI or ground targets, how do you even stock grind this aircraft? With only two 9Ls and Ms being Tier IV it looks like a quite grind…

Its possibly worst stock grind at top tier RN.

yeah already spaded 27 and 4000, they were relatively easy but eagle is on the other hand looks quite atrocious. Those stock 9Ls should be swapped with 9Ms…

Tbh, no 12.3 should have no IRCCM missile as stock. And they should be at same mod levels across the board, not that one gets it level one able to equip 6 of them while other needs to grind till level 4…

Great read on F-15 design and history from an at the time aerodynamics project engineer.

Yeah that sucks so bad, on the su-27 stock you get 2 archers and the 6 r73 loadout is a tier 1 mod… Unfair af when comparing to the eagle
