thats with the typical A2A loading points for the Advanced Eagle, not special options like the MRML inner pylon on the a2g station
so they included MRML on outer pylons but not inner pylons makes no sense.
Huh, so it’s something else. Either way the SM we have ain’t the 2004 one due to the engine upgrade.
@BACKRAGE44428-live Kikka and Yak-141 aren’t service aircraft.
Su-35 is older than Su-30SM, and both share similar computer systems due to being developed so close to each other.
Neither are double standards.
A double standard would be giving an older aircraft weapons based on evidence of a newer aircraft, which hasn’t occurred.
Stingers are currently better than Igla.
Dual-plane agility doesn’t exist as a feature in War Thunder in general, no double standard.
Dual plane Soviet missiles exist as well.
F-84G was put in R2Y2’s place. Kikka is a real aircraft.
Thing is, the F-15EX is still actively being updated. As of today, according to Boeing, it can only carry MRML on the outer pylons. It also doesn’t have amber rack for AMRAAM. Now, that’s not to say we won’t see EXs flying with amber rack and/or inner MRML in 2026 or 2027, but as of today, that’s what it is.
theres a few articals saying 16 no clue where there coming from
F15C golden eagles just gonna be a brick like the SU30SM compared to the rafale and typhoon so its not gonna be very crazy
It’s in the article, that’s the F-15C 2040C. It’s a different plane than the Golden Eagle or the F-15EX. F-15C 2040C was only a proposal and was refused by the USAF. Part of that program were then imported into the EX program. They reach 16 AMRAAM by putting 8 AMRAAM on the belly with the amber rack, then 8 AMRAAM on the center pylons with the addition of MRML rack.

this plane will be DOA honestly as theres a better version that should be added we could skip this model entirely and go straight to the EX like how they skipped multiple F16s to got the C model

It can probably be a fun 14.3 if they give it better AMRAAM, IRST, EPAWSS, and 1000 countermeasures with BOL. To turn it into a high tech BVR platform with deadly missiles pretty much. Otherwise it’ll just be food for the Eurofighter and Rafale.

yeah but it wont be able to gain althitude fast enough to compete with rafales and typhoons
Of course, they will make the next AIM-120 better
doesnt current C5 underperform still ?
still waiting for 9M to get any of its historical buffs
Even if this is true, nothing will change.
If you think F-15C is DOA, I wonder what you think/thought of Su-27SM, Su-30SM, F-14s, J-11B, Mirage 20005F…
good
super good
bad
yeah same all the vehicles he named are good at there BR minus F14B omg is it a tragic plane
F15C golden eagle is gonna be facing things that do its gimmick but 10X better like Rafale and typhoon its a 13.7 at the core still no reason for it to exist honestly ill take my F15EX over it any day of the weak
F15SG will do everything better and is most likely gonna be added soon
this things only use is dogfighting as its a C model
So aircraft inferior to F-15C GE are good, but the better aircraft is bad… wild take.
F-15SG is Singapore, where do you expect that to come.
Also F-15EX is likely to be in a BR jump, and it’s primarily due to speed + AESA + AIM-120Cs more than anything else.
More missiles or not, the F-15C is a sidegrade to the F-15E at best. It’s br should be 14.0 tops, if it doesn’t receive BOL, EPAWSS and IRST, and even then, maybe the FM buff

this is the kind of solution im not very fond off, i would rather have the missile fixed instead of getting more gimped missiles.
aim120c5 already exists solely on 14.0+ aircraft so why are they so gimped?
