I don’t know why this isn’t registering, they gave the F-15E weaker engines for “balance” clearly balance didn’t matter if the F-15I exists in the game

Ok and seems like you still dont understand the fact that I wasnt responding to dev logic in any way, only stating the fact that IDF F-15I never had 220 engines.
You’re absolutely right, so in that case why did they add a plane with “overpowered” engines to outshine the F-15C to the game
Gaijin is forcing the F-15E into a pure bomber role though, when it is in fact a multirole strike fighter. Forcing the American one to take weaker engines because you want it to be a bomber when it can be both a fighter and a bomber is asinine. If that’s the path, then give it the 120Cs so it’s a far scarier target to if your going to gimp it’s flight model though significantly weaker engines. But there’s absolutely no valid excuse to give the US the weaker of the two engines beyond the SOP of gimping US aircraft on launch.
“We want you to take the bomber role, carry a heavier and more diverse payload, but we are giving you weaker engines thus nerfing your flight model.” Yeah, no thank you.

America maind always crying they don’t have the objectively best aircraft in the game. The F-15I got absolutely 0 domestic munitions (and at this point it’s offensive), has an incorrect radar, and I’m willing to bet the cockpit would be incorrect aswell.
But oh no the F-15E has slightly worse engines this is clearly the end of the world!!!

You’re complaining about not having what? Derbys and Pythons? 2 missiles inferior to the 9m and 120?
Nobody is asking for the best version of the plane, we just want to be on equal footing by having the same engines, I have no doubt that the F-15I is gonna get python 4s eventually which would make it better than the E if it doesn’t receive the 9x
Crazy how people try and defend them giving a foreign country a better version of the original country’s plane

The F-15E engines aren’t “slightly” worse, it’s performance takes a considerable hit compared to the F-15I.
But a lot of people here are supporting a solution that supports both the F-15E and F-15I.

4000 KGF of thrust or 55m/s of climb rate is “slightly worse”.
I cant.

I dont know where you getting your information but Python-4 is straight up better than Aim-9M and R73.

Dude, I meant the pythons we currently have in game, the python 3s, they’re much worse than the 9m due to not having irccm, I literally said that python 4s would make the F-15I better than the E, it’s not that hard to read
If this how Gaijin wants things to go then i dont want Python-4’s on my F-15I.
Either make both plane equal by giving mavs and better engines or dont even bother to add it.

Dude i know whats going im just stating at this point Python-4 shouldnt even be discussion material.
Current situation is just f’ed up.
I brought them up because someone was asking about domestic weapons, I said that the python 3 and derby were inferior to the missiles the F-15I already has, so I mentioned that the python 4 would eventually come and make the F-15I better than the E, assuming it doesn’t receive the 9x
I’m complaining about missing a ton of domestic air-to-ground munitions. The lack of Python 3 and 4 is also apparent but not too painful. I know Israeli F-15s should be able to use Derbys but Rafael never released any images so we have no proof to show to Gaijin.
SPICE 250/250ER, SPICE 1000, SPICE 2000, Popeye AGM, MSOV, RAMPAGE, MPR-series dumb bombs (could be used with guidance kits), Ice Breaker, Maybe even AEROSPIKE. There are so many domestic weapons the F-15I (and other Israeli aircraft) should’ve had but YET AGAIN we get a copy-and-paste aircraft with no unique weapons because god forbid America mains don’t get stuff that other countries do.

I’m sure all of those weapons will be added with time, no other israeli vehicle has them right now, so why did you think the F-15I would come with that many new weapons?
Because the F-15I is the definitive and most modded Israeli F-15. It’s the most advanced and modern F-15 in Israeli service (until the F-15IA arrives, the Israeli mod of F-15EX).
Especially now that most countries have access to GPS weapons and super long-range weapons it’s really annoying we are yet to see literally ANYTHING form Israel’s catalogue.

If they were going to add that many weapons to the F-15I then the F-15E would have also gotten many many more weapons as well, it’s missing tons of weapons that it used irl but nobody here is complaining about the weapons it has, we’re upset because we got one with a much weaker engine with basically no real reasoning
