Don’t forget to bet on how artificially shitty it will be before dev is out

Considering that the Su27S was implemented late last year with a total of 10 missiles, including 6 R27ERs, I see no reason not to implement 8 AIM120A missiles on the F15C.
Even if the balance is made considering that the F15J can only be equipped with 4 AAM4 missiles, the AAM4 should be superior to the AIM120A in terms of performance, and the balance should be made in that area.

F-15A is also missing BOL pods.
Can’t wait for the inevitable US F/A-18 to not get BOL pods while they give other countries F/A-18s with BOL pods making the US one straight up inferior…
They really don’t like giving US vehicles their full capabilites or tech (FJ-4B missing two more AIM-9s, A-4E missing two more AIM-9s etc.)

F-16C also missing BOL pods, did anyone reported it?

Is there any reason at all to take the F-15 CFT over drop tanks?
The Mirage gets 6 missiles, the 27SM gets 6, the gripen gets 6, the F-16C gets 6.
If Gaijin wants to keep it consistent why not just limit the 15C to 6 as well instead of 8, its not like its impossible to only mount 6 120s on the 15C.
Isn’t it 8 and 10 for the mirage and Su-27 respectively?
(Oh you just mean ARH)
As far as I know, there isn’t many sources on the F-16 even testing the BOL pods, but the US definitely didn’t use them in service for the F-16, unlike for the F-15 and F-14. The F/A-18 was tested with them and should get them.
Dont think so, maps are not that big plus it cause additional drag and perminent extra weight.
Stick with Drop Tanks, you’ll be fine.
ARH only yes.
If you want to take the fuel of the drop tanks with significantly less drag than they have, yes. Though if you are going to jettison them immediately after making contact, no.
I’ll use them over externals for Sim
BOL pods are compatible with F-16C’s rails so test shouldnt be required.

Meanwhile Yak-41 gets production variant armaments,radar and IRST that wasnt even tested on the plane itself.
Amazing…

Yeah no
It had HMD in the stream you can literally see it
Given this is the case too I just realized, this F-15C that we have must have the AN/APG-63(V)1 and not the AN/APG-63 PSP, as the first JHCMS installed on a F-15C occurred in 2005 and all the existing US F-15Cs were upgraded to AN/APG-63(V)1s by 2001.
Hmm thats a good point there
Or they’ll just butcher it like they did with the F-15A, which should have TWS with the APG-63 PSP upgrade that it literally got at the same time as the countermeasures, yet it doesn’t have that radar upgrade in-game.

For me, gaijin not ready AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar 3 years because advanced & powerful radar and great BVR
Personal, I think F-15C MSIP II from USA tech tree showcase in devstream fitted with AN/APG-63(V)1 radar
But for F-15A, gaijin can change new radar to AN/APG-63 PSP radar ?
Its not a psp radar wither way. Its an underperforming pre-psp radar with missing radar modes and capabilities
