Mavericks are standoff weapons

The mavericks are absolute trash, especially compared to kh38… they are slow and have bad range, and most the time won’t even hit their target… pantsir with its super radar can shoot them down. Plus the only jet that gets the D variant is the k2k, the f16/f15 get nothing. I think the netz gets the “A” model

“The F-15E’s flight performance remains pretty high”
I think you mean the best jet in game, literally so far ahead of its competitors it’s damn near untouchable. It can kinematically defeat almost any missile thrown at it by flying in a straight line. It is downright unfair to have a nation who already had the meta jet to get something that completely blows everything out of the water.
Please, PLEASE reconsider the 220s for the F-15E/I. I don’t care if it’s unhistorical for the F-15I it is simply unbalanced without competitors for everyone else.

I might expect gajin implemented Litening III targeting pod from Tornado GR.4 instead LANTIRN AN/AAQ-14 on F-15I Ra’am before " Firebirds" update to main server
But LANTIRN AN/AAQ-14 targeting pod from F-15E replace with AN/AAQ-33 Sniper ATP-XR for 5th major update
AGM-142 Popeye and SPICE 2000, but after " Firebirds " update
Gajin could add SPICE 2000 before SPICE 1000

AGM-130 series for F-15E
- AGM-130A
- AGM-130A-11 (TV/CCD)
- AGM-130A-12 (IIR)
- AGM-130C-11 (TV/CCD)
- AGM-130C-12 (IIR)
Range shorter AGM-130, AGM-142 Have Nap/Popeye and Rafael SPICE series
Honest question with this update taking this long, do you foresee the December patch being delayed?

No matter how long it takes to finish the update (for me) - release it polished.

Just hope other nations get equal mutliroles like the Typhoon and Rafale sooner rather than later

they will never be able to compete with the F-15E’s raw payload for CAS, but they will be a challenge in WVR and BVR engagements
18x Brimstones is no idle payload

neither is 5 JASSM-ER lol, along with aim 120’s
they work on the fuselage hardpoints so we could have 6 mavs, AMRAAMS, and 2-3 JASSM with upgraded SNIPER pod.
F-15E can carry an empty typhoon worth of weight in payload, and then some, so its got a lot more growth potential than the typhoon by virtue of just being bigger
Typhoon can carry 2x ASRAAM, 4x Meteor and 18x Brimstones with a sniper pod (I think)
But at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Point is F-15E WAY Outperforms what 8 nations have
Let alone they also have the F-16C with a different designation, meaning the US gets 2x very strong mutlirole Spawns at the low rate

maybe 3 if the EX gets classed as an air defence fighter, though i dont know if that has a different SP cost
or 3 if f18 naval aircrfat is differnt category

We need new game modes.

The key thing is if you die in a fighter or strike aircraft the cost to spawn in the same class of aircraft again is doubled. So if I were to spawn in a harrier and then a tornado, the tornado would be double the cost.
But as the F-16C and the F-15E have different designations, they don’t incur that penalty. No other nation in game has 2x Mutliroles like that

italy gripen and av8b+, russia su34 and su27sm or mig 29smt, britian tornado/harrier and gripen,
No, totally different.
Gripen can be used as either but poorly for both, if you want any ARH you have to ditch a notable amount of your A2G.
2x Aim-9M, 2x R-darter/AMRAAM and 2x AGM-65 in the Gripen Vs 2x Aim-9M, 2x AMRAAM and 6x AGM-65 for the F-16C
Harriers and tornados are not mutliroles except partially the AV-8B+ but again, you have to ditch a notable amount of A2G for an AMRAAM.
Yes I could spawn in a Gripen with 4x AGM-65 die and respawn in a tornado, but a tornado doesn’t have AMRAAM as even a loadout choice.
US is the ONLY nation with an aircraft fully and totally capable of air superiority classed as a strike aircraft that can also outperform most in A2G role AND a fighter that can outperform most in A2A and CAS.

oh yeah btw apparently the f15e can carry 28 GBU-53, but that probably wont come for a while
