I wasn’t asking for a buff, I was pointing out how the “hard” limit of 12 may not be true just because Boeing put it in a public release. We’ve seen configurations showing more than 12. Those aren’t rumors.

“massively larger”
Configuration on a Boeing own airframe with zero proofs that it has exactly the same avionics inside as serial production airframes or those missiles even wired properly and not just dead weight.
By this basis we can just take Su-30MKK airframe 503 and put Irbis in Chinese premiums
I don’t think Gaijin should give it >12 A120s for balancing purposes.
However I think any argument about technical capability on the EX platforms specifically is dead in the water considering its current ordnance is based partly on the other advanced eagles - some of which can take 16.

This logic has been applied to other vehicles in game but its suddenly an issue for the F15.

Exactly, 12 missiles is already cancer
Why the hell do we need more
This just gives people less reasons to get better at the game and handholds them

And thank god for that, missile count powercreep is killing top tier. It would also be great to remove dual pylons from Russian and Chinese flankers to keep total missile count around 12. This will also give Eagles a better identity of having 2 more missiles at the cost of agility.

I’m already dreading how powerful this thing is going to be in simulator battles - at least while MCM remains viable. Can’t imagine how much worse it’d be with >12 AAMs.
It’s an issue for every single aircraft that doesn’t desperately needs it to be playable
because it would be funny to out-mcm sm2s like theyve been doing to everyone else for months

also there is the elephant in the room:
(boeing saying that it can carry up to 12 AMRAAMs)
yeah uh
that’s not funny
I don’t consider that funny at all
ruining the game as a joke is something I don’t like the idea of, just look at what buffed bomber dms did lmao

Read the next sentence I wrote please.
it is very funny if you consider the latter half of my statement
Their barbaric missile spam, our heroic mcm

Great, I agree. We should only add vehicles and configurations as they exist in the real world.
is that the only possible analogy for this situation?

Again, thats equally stupid as adding whatever bullshit fantasy capabilities we can. This is a GAME. Game should be FUN and ENJOYABLE. If something can’t be enjoyed in 100% historical version - it can get less accurate features. Playing F-15A early without countermeasures wouldn’t be as fun as playing it in current config (we are not gonna talk about BR placement for now)
