Yup i’d also be fine with it. As long as they don’t touch other BRs i’m fine with everything
Go play DCS then.

Giving also to the US 15E better engines is something I can agree on. Giving it 120C5s is stupid

I am asking for engines. 120C isn’t needed now. Maybe later. After R-77-1 and etc.

How so though?
I hope someone reports the engines for F-15E

“The US and allies can only get better missiles after Russia gets better missiles” is a weird take when the B is already on the game and it’s no better than the A.

They know about 229. They left 220 for “balance”
Because such jump on missile tech would allow players to just click others out of the air without getting touched. It would be something like the A-10C, which ruins the bracket it is in because of AiM-9M (which many aircraft struggle to counter) but at the same time it’s dead once one can get close to it.
Better engines would instead give the F-15E better FM to actually not be useless the moment someone gets close, without it clicking people out of the air from 30km away thanks to a better missile.

It has an improved off bore sight seeker, nullifying the only advantage that shorter range equivalents have.

If they actively said that since they gave 229s to israel it’s a new level of bs lol

G, the AIM-120 is one of the best if not the best ARH in the game rn. No need for the C-5

I’m a tad sad about it going under the bomber line. I do have the first F-111 researched, but not the second one. Just more to grind I reckon.
regardless, it would introduce Aim-120C-5-7s, could carry haarms and would have the (V)9 radar making it more BVR oriented
Ingame Block 50 can use all that weapon. It just not in game now
You’ll have to forgive me for being burnt out over the US constantly having its vehicles gimped and nerfed every time they get added. Where was the counter to the 27ER? Still the best SARH missile in the game with no equal. The KVT gets added under the wrong variant because only Russia is allowed to have two premium 11.0+ tanks. They can also be the only nation with 8 plus vehicles you can just buy to get into top tier. Or the fact that the ADATS was wasn’t considered an SPAA for the longest time effectively stripping the US of a semi-competitive SPAA through a high spawn cost. Or how the AV-8+ is an end of the line vehicle for its tree at Rank 8, 13.0 but has stock 9Ls when it should have stock 9Ms. It’s a known fact that the Aim-54s have also had their stats nerfed. According to Gaijin themselves, the A-10As and Su-25s had terrible stats for the BRs they were at but the skill issues had to skill issue and they got moved up.
Sorry but no. The F-15E can get 120Cs. “Balance” has been irrelevant for a while now.

F-15E is the successor to the F-111. The successor (ish) to the F-15C is the F-15EX.
Bro i aint reading all that, but since i saw R-27er mentioned then i answer with 2 things:
-
I agree R-27er shouldn’t have been added so early.
-
ussr (since it seems you mostly complain about them) and ALL (and i mean ALL) other countries in warthunder have either vehicles/armament that should be added or could have been added sooner. Can give examples for all if you want. Like it or not, apart from getting worse versions of the F-15 airframe the US (at least US air) is actually treated very well by gaijin.

I hear you but there is literally no reason for the AIM-120C to be added right now. There are aircraft right now that can currently carry it too before the F-15E was introduced and it isn’t. War Thunder is all about progressive improvements in technology, not all-at-once and hope for the best update releases.
There are still a multitude of aircraft and in-game features that need to be implemented first before you can viably add any and every single modern-ish weapon. It will come, just not now.
