I’m curious what else there is to review. Is it a balancing matter? Because afaik there’s zero question as to whether the F-15s in US service received BOL pods.
I am very glad to hear this though! I’m looking forward to seeing how these are modeled in game.
shouldnt bc the Su-39 has a radar pod
I mean, radar isn’t an IRST.
works the same way ingame
Okay everyone get your f-15C golden eagle after the update launches and crash immediately after take off over and over to tank it’s k/d so much to convince Gaijin to add something interesting to the US for once… /s
Anything about it maybe moving down to 14.0 if no changes happen? Cause it is certainly not 14.3 material at the moment.
dont ya love getting a side grade to F15JM two br steps higher
(it gets a better radar but much worse kit and a slightly worse flight model)
Any information on NCTR? rn all US toptier jets don’t have fully functional NCTR, some have no NCTR.
At least APG-63v3 should get detailed NCTR.
And F-15C/E, F-16C, F/A-18C should be considered.
Better missiles, better radar, more countermeasures.
F-15C/JM/BazM’s equivalents are all 14.0 with a couple at 13.7 because they set precedent.
?
F15CGE as it is on dev has worse missiles, better radar, and the same number of countermeasures when compared to F15JM
So fun fact, internally IRSTs are literally radars.
But yes, if i had to guess it’d be that. There is a difference between adding a radar pod to a plane with no radar, and adding an IRST to a plane with a radar.
IRSTs are alternate search modes for radar systems, so they have to be part of the same unit for cycling modes. So what adding an IRST currently would entail is having a module that switches between two components for if you have it installed or not. This is a bit tedious, but technically possible in the game engine rn.
However, since its not coming this update, i feel like gaijin might be planning a lil more. Maybe they’re gonna use their recently added electronic module damage system to have the irst actually be seperately damageable.
8x good missiles to the 4x AAM-4s is not worse missiles.
And BOL pods are in the works.
that is incorect because F-15JM can also use aim120A/B on its wing pylons, and AAM3 is a significant upgrade over aim9M
so F-15JM has a significant advantage in missiles
BOL has also been accepted for F-15A and F-15C (7 months ago) so by the same reasoning BOL is in the works for F-15JM
and that doesnt matter, because I specifically said “as it is on dev”
JM absolutely shouldn’t have BOL
you know that if they add if for US F-15C JM will probably get it too
Look at the Hornets. I don’t see any BOL on the US one
and? gaijin constantly says the standard for stuff like that is compatibility, when the vehicle is in a non US tree
Yes, that’s my point. They aren’t compatible. They are too different in electronics, and anyways afaik it was only US Eagles that were modified with it
but they are, BOL is 100% compatable to the wing pylons on that, they use the same launch rails as the US uses for it
How come they have not added BOL to the Finnish F-18C then.
Obviously the launch rail argument is insufficient for Gaijin
