Buy the LITENING for the USAF fleet then
shouldnt matter, if its compatible it would be able to be added, like many other things in wt. i think there should be an option to use any tgp you want as ive said before, the f16c bl50 got a complete downgrade when they gave it the sniper and removed its litening ii
If you americans are going to push for your tech being better than export variants, you can’t turn around and beg for the tech present on our one because it’s convenient

nobody is begging for it? lmao, i just said that the ia has a better pod, i rarely ever even use the pods on the f15s so i dont care much
and like i just said, multiple pods should be an option so you can take whichever you like, for example the f16c should be able to use the sniper or litening depending on which you choose, it shouldnt be locked to 1 option
Fair point, yes. Still remember how some US mains was struggling to get Sniper pod for A-10 and when gaijin actually listened and changed godlike Litening II to this portable version of Hubble optics, the plane becomes borderline unusable, given how close it have to get in order to sling his mavs.
Litening III is bugged on all Israeli jets tho - it have 2nd gen thermals instead of 3rd gen.
Its been answered by a bug reporting guy that there is a technical limitation of using multiple different TGP’s in a game right now.
i remember wanting the sniper on the f15e for a long time as a replacement for the lantirn, but when the sniper actually got added it was just garbage, 20x min zoom is just unusable unless youre beyond 10 or even 15km away, and back then the f15e had no weapons to even use at those ranges. its better than the lantirn, but a total downgrade to the litening 2 or 3, hopefully in the future we’ll have options
thats unfortunate, maybe theyll get that sorted out eventually
I… dont know about that tbh XD
have they changed the lantirn recently or something? because it was 100% worse than the sniper back when i last used it, it was basically identical to the lantirn on the f14b, but had slightly better thermals iirc
I mean its not even close to Sniper perfomance wise, but in case of WT gameplay - its miles better. Its Thermals are bad, compared to high-end TGP’s we have in a game, but its zoom levels are pretty good. So i feel like I’d choose Lantirn every day of the week over Sniper.
if i had to pick between the sniper and lantirn, id just pick neither ngl
gbu 53s have built in optics anyways so a pod really isnt needed at all, unless youre using mavs or gps bombs maybe?

its 6x0 not 6x2 in stealth mode.
very different from other gen 5
Exactly. Its one of the key features of strike eagle (and EX/IA in a next update) - to be able to oversaturate spaas with chaff bombs like gbu-39.
I even have two separate keys to directly access munitions optics and tgp, because you actually need both of those.
this makes 4 AESA jets for the US tree matching China and Russia’s, and other nations minus thee (Germany, Italy, and Sweden because they literally only have 1 option to add.) have 2-3
So I wonder if this mean the AESA rework promised will be coming soon, honestly wouldn’t be mad if next major update is a rework of AESA and PESA radars, plus other air QOL changes like map size increases, ECM, or other additions to benefit both NE and RB.
it would be nice to see aesas ingame have the advantages they have over pesas irl
Wrong
not wrong.
they cant, unless you provide something.
Contradictions are lovely.
It has the same internal AMRAAM missile count as F-22.
IR missiles aren’t needed if you’re going in stealth mode.
Acceleration is going to be among the best having a starting TWR of >1.03:1, and that’s with 4000kg of fuel. You might need less to be honest.
Oh, and if Gaijin models supersonic radar signatures, you won’t want to go supersonic over just launching your missiles at 14,000 meters. Altitude would matter more.
People are going to have to re-think how to engage.
4>6 ???
F-35 has 6, F-22 has 4.
F-22 has 4 AMRAAMs + 2 IR.
