Based on current lacking modernized radar of USA, here I would like to talk about this RMP for F-15E.
Boeing has received F-15E Radar Modernization Program (RMP) approval from the US Air Force (USAF), to start low-rate initial production 2 (LRIP 2) of APG-82(V)1 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar systems.
Eagle Passive/Active Warning Survivability System is now installed on F-15E as well.
IR mode maybe similar with radar guided mode in real life, but gaijin thought that destroys the dominance of Russia so that they use a never existed mode on brimstones. Really hope they can fix or admit the fault they made.
Even if KH-38MT wasn’t progressed to production, it was atleast planned to be IR. The whole IR Brimstone argument predicates that you want a completely imaginary seeker, wasn’t planned, wasn’t developed. That’s completely different to the 38MT which was atleast a design they looked into.
Brimstone IR is just in the imaginations of players who can’t give up on an idea that isn’t going to happen.
how that different? both are fake but one allowed to exist other one not
IR Brimstone not exist not even designed and everybody knew that, but does that ever stop gaijin?
you remember when the times they make PARS 3LR SAL guided? when the PARS 3LR is IR guided for sometimes?
38MT - Weapon designed to be IIR, wasn’t progressed to production
Brimstone (all) - Weapon wasn’t designed to be IIR, ???
These are the same to you?
Was corrected when they decided it could be balanced, there is no need for a completely imaginary seeker for Brimstone as we have the SAL/IOG mode which is a real mode of Brimstone. mmW will be added again when it can be balanced.
This is the end of the discussion, there is no amount of “muh IR Brimstone” you can do that will suddenly cause a change of course, it simply will never happen. Get over it, move on.
That doesn’t change the fact that MMW without LOAL modes would work essentially identically to current IR/IIR systems in-game. It’s almost like they specifically chose the worst possible implementation for “‘some reason’”… Curious…
And this is perfectly on topic, as it’s going to be the same reason the F-15E (Late)/RMP/ whatever you want to call it is probably not going to come with the GBU-53. Hell it’s probably the same reason the current F-15E doesn’t have GBU-39B, Laser SDB, because then a ‘"certain nation’" might actually be contested in ground matches.
That’s where the issue lies. It’s correct to think that having 15-18 FnF agms will be tremendously broken and I agree with Gaijin that adding it without the proper counters will cause a whole lot of problems.
But when they say something like this while also allowing the Kh-38s to be in the game and in fact soon after that Devblog, they released the teaser which showcased the the Su34 that can carry 6 of them? How can anyone take them seriously?
They could’ve just added multi-spectrum smoke to all top tier mbts, disabled LOAL and called it good. But they didn’t. This is such a double standard.
