F-15EX Dev Discussion Thread

Not at all, 4 missiles simply isn’t enough for top tier if they’re as easy to dodge as fox 3s are currently, they’d need to be 10x more consistent for me to be comfortable with only 4 missiles

No. The JASSM is not in the game. A report was already accepted for it lacking its GBU-38 & 54 carriage.

Don’t take the piss by trying to report suggestions as bugs.

1.2 is super cruise 1.0-1.19 is still in transonic territory

Furthermore, JASSM is part of a class of weaponry we don’t have in game yet.
The devs will add it to compatible platforms in time I’m sure

Well tbf PL-15 got stats changed, and now it’s seeker is harder to notch than MICA

Super cruise is sustained supersonic flight without the use of AB, any speed above and including mach 1 is supersonic.

Mach 1.1 is not the speed of sound my guy.

go back to the rafale vs eurofighter battlefield when people spent over 1000 messages arguing what speed supercruise is

I don’t really want to go into a nest of people who don’t know where the sound barrier is.

Yes but it’s not about the actual speed of the aircraft it is that air flowing around the aircraft is a mix of sub and supersonic so therefore all the way to Mach 1.2 technically is still transonic and not supersonic speed

stealth goes away if you bring missiles on external pylons

IAS is above or equal to mach 1 = super cruise, the EX is capable of sustaining a IAS above mach 1 and thus can super cruise.

End of story.

doesnt matter when your fighting at 170km

Aside to this, today, this does to a degree depend on the stores themselves too, the likes of the JSOW, Stormshadow and JASSM themselves are stealthy even on the pylon.

Currently, the GCS-1 in the dev server is also the only weapon in War Thunder without a direct equivalent.So how should this matter be explained?

you still lose a majority of your RCS advantage due to the pylons themselves giving a large radar return

GCS-1 is extremely situational and functionally useless at higher BRs

No because it’s still transonic just because you are going mach 1 does not mean the sound barrier is broken only achieved
