israel can get a lot, popeye missiles (walleyes with rocket motors) and SPICE bombs (same guidance system but basically a GBU kit
the weapons in question:

fair enough, i would be perfectly fine with it getting 229’s if the I got its domestic arms, what it doesnt for some reason. so i think this is a way of making the israeli players happy cause their plane isnt objectively worse overall for no reason.
what squadron is the F15E we got in game?
based if it not the 391st 492nd 494th it just will not get it…
oh well the F15E US TT is the 389th squadron so… no 229…
edit: why i think so? just because when the F16C barak 2 came out by the tail number we found that its the block 40 and not the 30 theoretically its a fact (bruh) that we can find some things by just visual
Thats an arbitrary choice on Gaijins part, “for balancing” according to them. Like I said earlier, lets not get into the historical loadouts cuz the one we have ingame is quite the Frankenstein already as is, no reason to withhold the engines based on that
That sounds like a fair tradeoff to me
missing AGM’s in top tier for CAS is a big downside, no clue why they wont add them

they dont got any blance lol a lot of kh-38 vriants S1 that just built on paper now the new GROM and the brimstones will suck cuz its trash without the main thing that make them uniqe oh and dont we start talk about hlicopters HAHA
As fast as anyone currently,… many aircrafts are currently way faster depending on altitude,…
A fast low altitude aircraft would simply get some trouble to keep low altitude enough to avoid incoming Radar missile.
it is the fastest plane IN THE GAME it can hit mach 1.4 on the deck, the F-15C can do about 1.2-1.25
Never been hit by a Single AIM-54,…
But ok,…
so you mean to say that youtubers can fly F-15Is and fight F-14s with AIM-54? pheonixes, almost like its youtubers on the dev server.
Bring me Datamine and check it out.
here you go, you will notice they’re identical and the spreadsheet even mentions it
For the rest of it, you have understood what you wanted to,… but since you don’t know much you’re unable to understand my point.
1 this is inflammitory and doesnt actually pertain to the point
2 this is literally a limitation of language, we bounce backwards and forwards a couple times till we actually understand what the other is going on about
It’s no more unusual than the SU 7 and 17 being in the heavy fighter line of Russia
SU-17 was designed as a bomber and never recieved upgrades that would have increased it’s performance as a fighter intentionally rather made it better as a bomber and the SU-7B was just a modified SU-7 as they realised it was great for CAS as it failed the contract tender the MiG-21 won
Ok: Super Etendard and Etendard IVM were intended to be Fighters per design, but were relegated to Strike attack (on which they were better than F-8E(FN) which didn’t recieve any form of Ground Attack weapon)
i’m clearer now?
USE =/= DESIGN
i see thank you for clarifying.
USE =/= DESIGN
i mean… that does help my point somewhat but thanks for telling me that’s an interesting factoid, didn’t consider the IV was roman numerals till now lol
I think that it is a little nuanced. While the F-111 had it’s persision strike missions filled by the F-15E. The B-1 replaced the F-111’s supersonic bomber role.
I would say the F-15 would make more sense in the attacker tree.
In the case of F-15E, I don’t think there is any problem with F-15E being located on that line because it is an aircraft to replace F-111.
true, and now the F-15E is replacing the C in some air to air missions LOL
Not really it was made for both, it only gets used by default as a strike aircraft because it is the most capable, and because the conflicts it was used in did not require overwhelming air to air firepower more than the other fighters can handle. It does have the best air to air radar of its time, better flight performance than anything it couldve faced when it was introduced even though it wasnt quite as good as the f15c. The pilots are trained air to air tactics as well. I personally have spoken to an f15e pilot that flew against rafale pilots in training

and now people complain about usa being able to take two cas planes in usa due to both being different classes and getting minimum spawn points… what would fix that i wonder…? maybe making the F-15E a fighter…
This always has been the case though.
not to the extent we have now
