I can only speak from what I heard on the F-15J side about it being the APG-63 with PSP and from what I read about it, that should have TWS? I don’t know if the F-15A with MSIP has it though.

From what I’ve seen, MSIP should have TWS. But like pyro said, they are probably going to frankenplane this early generation of Eagles and add in everything with the next set.

I hope it does get added. As a Japan main, it’s the one radar feature I look forward to the most for ground RB.

J will because its an F-15C and Japan doesn’t have multiple versions of it to add like the US does. (Hopefully with native missiles)
Israel might get lucky but they’ll probably have to grind an F15C Baz too.

I hope so, though it’s an F-15C pre-MSIP.
From what I know there’s a few versions. There’s the current one, MSIP version, MTDP version, one with IRST (don’t remember which upgrade package it had), and any others I might have missed. There’s also the JSI program to give it AESA radar among other things, so there’s definitely a few variants Gaijin can add to fluff up the line.
I’m still in the XF-2/F-2 waiting room though.
F-15a/j wont get any HMDs anytime soon but does anyone have any information on the Baz? Isrealis had HMDs on their planes very much earlier was that the case on F-15?

Still waiting for the HMS on the Kfir c.7… and the radar to be implemented correctly its a PD ACM only radar HUD like another jet. Just did not have a search function.
I do not see why the Baz a very old fighter in Israeli inventory did not have HMS either.
Just like how they updated SMT w/ additional countermeasures and the radar warning reciever i think they should add PSP upgrade for the radar (add TWS basically). as for the HMD i think we have to wait F-15C for that which is very unfortunate.
Aside from the devblog talking about Fox 3s coming in their own update, has there been any other indication that Fox 3 missiles are coming like people are rumouring them?
After unlocking last modification (excluding ground ordinance) iam quite frankly dissapointed with how this aircraft plays in current meta. You are supposed to go fast and high, hunt down people with sparrows from distance. however that is not doable in this meta because R-27ERs and funky sparrow guidance (over-correcting in particular) so as a result you often find yourself hugging ground and mainly using sidewinders only launching sparrows in merges. Flight model is great though, only if teams you play with were great as it is.
Also, this is only top tier jet i have less than %50 WR (EU)…
Will the F-15 receive its TWS? Given that all models in game are based on post-MSIP aircraft.
People spend their month wage worth in this game, it’s not Just A Game for some people, it’s the only thing they played.

Not to mention they hold onto an idea of how their favourite plane should perform only to be grossly disappointed.

At this point, I would be surprised if we didn’t see a full-hard push into AIM-120C-4/PL-12/R77/MICA-EM
I honestly would prefer that.
7Ms are wildly inadequate now that I have had a taste of 27-ERs. Combine that with the ground hugging meta and prevalence of multi-pathing, even ERs are having their effectiveness reduced to the point where a gameplay change is needed.
i think a great addion would be the AIM-7P, ok its still not as gonna as a R-27ER but the deta link on it would make it way more effective other the AIM-7M id love to see it in the future tbh
Currently the aim7m does not need to be nerfed due to balance, it is already a worse missile than the r27er by leagues and pulls less and is slower with players just not taking the sparrows on the f15 this update because of how bad they perform ingame. I don’t see whats the problem with buffing it especially when the new radar nerfs with PD locking chaff affect the sparrows more due to the fact that they explode upon losing signal ingame and have neutral fins and the already much better r27er mostly wasnt effected by these changes because you can switch targets without problems. The f15 ingame is currently played as just a walmart f16 or gripen due to the god awful aim7ms and radar and compounded on the fact with the state of top tier american teams leads to this jet overall being a bad experience at top tier, having a near sub 30% winrate in this jet rn and it sucks, even games where get 5 kills the team evaporates instantly.

The biggest advantage of the F-15/F-16C/sparrow combo is the ability to guide with the same tracking signal. Meaning no launch warning as most RWRs ping missile launch when a CW is detected in your direction. Seeker max range should also be increased to like 40 nautical miles in PD for the same sized target. The “disadvantage” is that you cannot switch to MPRF or LPRF as you are required to guide in HPRF / RG HPRF.
That is if implemented.
A more subtle thing is range being added as a parameter in guidance. The sparrow knows the distance to target. PN could be made APN based on range, aspect, closure rather than just a time thing.

I never said the Aim7M needs to be nerfed.
I am astonished that you interpreted that.
I am very interested though,
What sentence gave you the idea that anyone called for the Aim7M to be nerfed? Can you point directly to it?

in fact the opposite
