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
They are doing everything except releasing the update 💀
Gaijin releases an update with bugs:
“Reee broken update this sucks!”
Gaijin delays an update a week to fix bugs:
“Reee release the update it’s taking too long!”

the issue is though, is that there wont be any less bugs than normal despite the delay.

I was wondering if the f-15E were ever operated without CFT? If yes Gaijin could impose them on the airframe and it would make them less performant and thus less OP

Its actually cant kinetically dodge fox3 if it was launched from his altitude. If F-15E/I flying at 15 km at 2M and his enemy launching r77 from the ground level - yes it can.
In merge fights F-16 is much better so is gripen and j10. Its definetely not the best jet, its just good at launching amraams from high altitude.

As someone who did play a lot of US air, it’ll be a sad day when everyone gets their 4.5+ gens and the US is stuck with pretty much what we’ve got now (as imo there’s no way they’ll add the F-22, at least an F-22 that is actually the best fighter).

They could add the prototype YF-22/23’s which had no radar so the only way to fire amraams would be maddogging them.

Lol that would totally be something Gaijin would do
Still later F-15s & F-16s left to add and also the F-18s.
They wont be starved for content but just wont be operating in a Vacuum
