F-15C Golden Eagle should be able to hold more missiles

So 12 on the C and 16 on the EX with those?

yes

Was this was apart of the Golden Eagle upgrade specifically? Or just backported from the EX?

Currently, the F-15C golden eagle should have an MRML launcher, which was demonstrated at one of the exhibitions, and was also part of the F-15C ANG modernization project.

That would really help it out

and it getting BOL is also not out of the picture

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/lIW8FDoaGRul

Can it run BOL and MRML at the same time?

i dont see why it wouldnt be able to

BOL has the same formfactor as a normal launch rail

yeah no wonder though, ef2k is an insane aircraft.

If they accept it as-is, there’s a new precedent change which could allow weapons on older airframes if they’re close enough together in time frame.
Russian mains will like the new precedent.

fantasy missiles on Russian aircraft has already existed since the yak-141, and fantasy racks since the dual R-77 racks on the Su-27SM, but you are just coping since you were wrong

@Papa_Daniel
Prove that Yak-141 and Kikka are/were in military service.
Dual R-77 racks were made for the Flanker series of aircraft, and are explicitly compatible with Su-30 and 35 series.

If F-15C GE gets more AIM-120s based on this new standard, that means Su-30MKI can get the same exact loadout as Su-30SM despite us knowing it didn’t use that loadout IRL.

All you can do is insult everyone that isn’t Russian.

proof?
they have never been applied to any aircraft other than Su-35, so this is just your opinion and not fact

they are explicitly compatable with the SU-35 airframe, which is different dimensionaly and aerodynamically from the other flankers

meanwhile MRML was designed for the F15 series, and displayed on both F15C and F15EX

The Su-35’s only difference in width is added wingspan, which allows for more fuel in the wings.
Su-30SM and Su-35 share the same exact center-line as each other, and extremely similar if not identical computer systems.

If you claim Su-30SM isn’t compatible with dual R-77s despite being newer, then you’re also claiming F-15Cs can never be compatible with MRMLs.

Which is contrary to what we’ve been arguing here.

F-15C GE is older than F-15C with the MRML test bed [and potential MSIP II upgrades in the National Guard service], which is older than the F-15EX.
Su-30MKI is older than the Su-35 which is older than the Su-30SM.

The current precedent allows for Su-35 Flanker-M to be used as evidence for newer Flankers using its or similar computer systems.
A precedent which F-4 Phantoms, F-16s, etc used in-game prior to their additions.
This also means you can use F-15EX for future F-15Es, and F-15Cs upgraded for future F-15Cs [potentially F-15JSI].

F-15C GE retains its napalm compatibility despite us not using napalm on F-15s in decades, using the same standard that gets Su-30SM its dual rack R-77s.

should actually stay 13.7 and foldered right under the normal F15C

If Soviets were treated as well as y’all want to treat F-15C GE, Object 279 would be 8.0 [or 8.3 if you guys think the other BR is too extreme].

you simply have no proof that anything but the Su-35 can mount these racks, no amount of justifications will eliminate the requirement for you to post proofs

They just wouldnt fit if midelled with proper size…
