F-15E: The Strike Eagle

It was stated that germany wont get the f18 before the us got them

They will probably be released at the same time for the us and germany

Identical in game

Exactly so I think the F-18c could have been added months ago for at least the usa and germany, not like the usa needs it but still

An F-16 for one.

Yeah
All the f18s are overdue

They’ve taken so long that they’re gonna skip the F-18a now and just jump to the C

Yes, the R-77s won’t be able to utilize the long range ability of such a radar. I was going to say it could be OP in a countermeasure heavy dogfight, but the air frame’s energy bleed will be so bad that I don’t think it will be.

I have a feeling that dedicated air superiority fighters with PESA/AESA radars will be the centerpiece of a new update.

Germany is getting the F-18c in december I’m 99% sure so the suffering won’t last much longer

Bet at the same time something better gets added.

Well the radar is still a lot more advanced than basically all other radars, doesn’t matter if the missile can reach the full range of it

Yes, but I don’t think it will be OP. Unless the R-27EA gets added for some reason. Then it would be OP.

Or if the R-77 got buffed/fixed, that is another situation where it could be OP.

I dont belive theyve used them irl

But i do agree that something like the f16aj should have been done

Does the Su-34 carry 27er? Would you say the er (already OP) could take advantage of this radar?

Wouldn’t shock me if they added the r-27ea next update and left us with 120A’s lol

yes it does

It has 8 r77s, 6 r27ets/ers and r73s on the wingtips

When dev server open?

It can but they’re SARH, so I still doubt the effectiveness of such a setup.

When dev open???

Ok if that’s the case I’m okay with F-15E not having AESA however, the engine has to be added.
