F-15EX Dev Discussion Thread

Removing MAWS from the IA makes it seem like they are going to refuse it for both.

Yep, that’s my conclusion as well. I think it’s fair if neither receives MAWS, but at same time we got MRML for both, so that move is strange.

honestly you just mentioned one of the biggest gripes i ever had because i actually have thought out the better timeline for us releases regarding new jets in my mind, a TLDR f18 should have followed the f16 ADF and blc50 and the f15 should have been the last of the three added.

here’s IMO the perfectly thought out release schedule
obviously f16 blk50
->F18A (introduces aim7P to compete with r27er and 550)
→ F18 late (introduce AMRAAMS, you get a fast low missile count BVR king f16c and a larger missile quantity and loadout versatility in the f18c Late.)
→ F-15A and C
→ f15E
→ f18E (gives us first aesa while in the same update gives the aim120c’s to it and the f15c to make it competitive despite being worse than the f15E’s)
->POBIT (introduces aim120d’s next because if it comes after the f15c ge its dead on arrival.)
->F15c GE
->finally followed by F15EX (finishing off the trios newest variants in services, in a order that doesn’t make half DOA.)

It’s easily bug-reportable if it’s missing…

But we are getting off topic here.

I mean it has received those over time I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s split between late and early

People forgetting F-22 is a cold war aircraft project.
[And me forgetting it was ~10 years from project start to first flight of F-22.]

@quartas121
AIM-120C-3*, the first C, which was made for the F-22’s weapons bay.

entered service in 2005, so the main thing would been 120C-5 or C-6

I mean ROST HD wasn’t implemented until last year
I would like it to just be a modification but they’re probably going to split the f-22a between early and late and I don’t know what they’re going to do about the drop tanks and the IRST pods

And f-15ex is still in its pretty early stages of service still so it’s probably going to get some changes over time as well
Considering all the wiring and necessary equipment to install MAWS is still present on all the EXs and they are still developing new weapon racks for it, it’ll probably change a lot over it’s service life,

honestly as much as I hate it this would be the right call introduce stealth, with a very early and old 5th gen with its old time accurate weaponry.

Then follow it with su57 and j20 for next major than follow that with f35 models i.e. A,B,C split up between nations and updates and then finish with like the f22 late, maybe f35 blc4, j35, su75 (if that even can be proven to be more than a wood mock up 1-2 years from now) obviously they would be spanned out over a 1-2 year period.

I have heard F-22 pilots say that the lack of HMD /S isn’t a super big deal due to its thrust and maneuverability

It’s not AMBER at all, not even close

I would never question a real life pilot, but at the end of the day this is WT… we all know how this story ends once it happens, it’s blatantly obvious and you can see it coming from a km’s away

Are you sure?

I’m working on downloading the dev server, but are fast planes like the 15EX, Su-30, F-111 still hilariously slow at altitude? Like does this answer still apply?


Planes we have in game should be able to go M 2.5 at 60k ft but they can’t acclerate past M 1.2 iirc.
It seems the only plane modeled accurately is the Mig-25 I guess

I don’t understand why some planes are limited by advisory restrictions like the F-111 and F-15, and other planes in WT are able to exceed advisory restrictions, like the Mig-25.

how I fixed it was going into the “config.blk” in the files and finding “enableHdr=yes” switch it to “enableHdr=no”.

And like this bug report. Does Gaijin just not like it when planes go high ans fast? Are they allergic to performance?
