and the photos?
The KH-38MT wouldn’t exist in the game by this logic either, or a whole lot of other stuff for that matter
Are on Eglin birds, at least for those stormbreakers. Provenance of the 39s is unknown. Carriage does not imply certification, either. Else the F-15E would have HARM.
Weren’t the KH-38 paper/planned rather than outright failing…?
There is no other source that the F-15E can employ the HARM other than that one photo. I gave you enough sources for this
iirc the KH-38MT didn’t exist at all with the IIR seeker. They were only on the brochure yes

Kh-38 exists. It’s the MT variant that’s disputed.
You gave me a photo of it on the rails and a junior officer in public affairs claiming something. That’s not enough evidence.
The EX is different, to be clear. If Boring says it can manage it, sure.
Yeah, I don’t keep track of redfor munitions. Regardless, planned rather than failed.
Still. The missile family itself is a real thing
Yeah. I don’t care much for it, not like redfor don’t need the buff especially in NE anyway
I suppose.
There were no changes to the carriage on the EX tho, BRU-61s are ejector-launchers, so a tail strike shouldn’t be a concern
Potential that the wing stations jettison differently to the 15E. I don’t know enough about the EX/Eagle 2/Phoenix to be sure.
Oh wait, you’ve got me confused here.
It’s when jettisoning the BRU-61 itself, not the munitions from it. The rack being jettisoned caused a tail strike.

Yeah, if you put it like this, I’m pretty sure that jettisoning a whole rack would cause some issues
Yeah. It’s a requirement for carriage out there and it’s why you cannot do it. Obviously on the fuselage stations jettisoning them has nothing behind it to hit, so those are fine.
On the EX it could be a case of a minor redesign to enable carriage, or something else entirely.

Do you REALLY need 16 AMRAAMs? Do you realise how much power creep it is, 12 AMRAAMs + 4 Sidewinders is already an extremely powerful package, especially since the 120Ds have the second best guidance and range and 9Ms are the second best IRs.

Yep, i do not see any justification to add that amount of missiles, especially on a platform that now has no direct competition besides a sub-variant present in a tree with 1 tenth the players.
16 fox 3s would be utterly disastrous if more than 50% of any one team is using the EX/IA since that brings the already unbearable amounts of missile spam at top tier to monumental levels.
Until we see more ECM and EW capabilities, 16 fox 3s can wait, regardless of nation, irl capability or any other form of cope for killing air rb

I’m probably beating a dead horse, but will the EX get the AGM-88J SiAW, or is it a possibility?

Hope so, idk what the status of the bug report is currently
