F-15EX Dev Discussion Thread

I kinda want to see a later ROKAF F15K slam eagle with the epawss too

Ty for the correction, still doesnt change the fact Boeing said “up to 12”

i wanted this for a while too tbh, since i heard its a lighter f15e or something like that, but honestly now that the ex is added, only other things id ask for are the f15 stol and the f15se

if south korea is added to the game id fully expect the f15k to come tho, its only a matter of time i think

because thats the operational, fully cleared amount. 16 is tested max, based on real pictures from Boeing.

Good news USAF/USN AESA jet enjoyers: On the Dev Server, you can actually use the full 92 mile range on the radars to lock targets instead of the 57.5 mile cap where you couldn’t lock targets beyond that range. Peak

actually huge

did they also change the horizontal limits of the F/A-18E radar? I don’t remember it being 70 degrees to the side before

yea but it still doesnt let us see up to 200km like the xray says, its locked to 148km

nah its been like that

The F18E and GE had a ±70° while the PoBIT was ±60°. Don’t know if the PoBIT got 70. Gotta check the Dev
@Jailynn_ひ I saw that. EF2K AESA Germany says 124 miles but gets 115 in game. Su-30SM2 xray says 217 miles, what does it get in game? Just so we can see if there is any consistency

ive tested most other planes in the game and it only seems to be an issue on american planes, the eurofighter says around 200km or something if i remember correct, its radar scales to 296km, it cant detect that far ofc but the radar at least scales to the range on the xray

i dont remember any other planes off the top of my head except for american ones tbh, i know the f15ge says 185km, radar only scales to 148, pobit says 165 or something, locked to 148, and the hornet is like 175? but yea, it only scales to 148 like every other american plane

the ex radar is great tho as it is, its very similar to the eurofighter one in terms of detection range, i just wish they’d add 1 more range scale for all the american top tiers, they should all have a 296km max, not 148. and yea i know this really doesnt matter for current map sizes as ive said before, but i just find it odd how no other planes have this issue from what ive seen

There wasn’t an announcement before iirc stating the lockable range would be increased, so they might increase it more.

yea i think the max range you can lock anything is around 110-115km universally for every plane, but once they eventually add larger maps to arb i think theyre gonna change this as well, so i hope every plane gets its marketed range to actually show on radar

MRML bug report got fixed? i wonder how would they only be used for 9M since they used to clip with AIM-120 with F-15C GE

Forcing the outer pylons to be 9ms, probably.

Seems the MRML will not be added

edit: Or maybe it will be but with restrictions. Like you can use the MRML but the outer pylons cant use AMRAAMS. This would be good to bring extra AAM in a Ground configuration.

“Will not be added”
“added in 2.60.0.22”

MRMLs being added as 12 AMRAAM only, you probably won’t be able to get 16 AMRAAM only for balance (probably)

Probably going to be 4x Sidewinders and 12 AIM-120D.
