forgive if am wrong but doesn’t the f22 have a gimbled radar
I’m no radar expert here.
Especially not when it comes to the F-22.
I’m pretty sure that it would still be stuck with the same 70° that F-15C GE, EX and PooBIT are now

okay…imma read up on it if i can find anything
They still removed and haven’t given us the Geolocation and ESM features, which are among the main capabilities of the EPAWSS lol.
Why does the USSR get built-in advanced ESM integrated with their RWR, while other nations are denied built-in ESM?
It’s really frustrating to see this kind of double standard between USSR and non-USSR vehicles.

It’s not. Radar system had provisins for future side looking arrays as part of the growth, but budget cuts stopped F-22 program
pobit is 60°
60° for f22 here https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/the-raptor-arrives-6953408/

aight thanks
Did EPWASS give it spherical RWR in game?
I will maintain that I’d rather Gaijin would either add 16x AMRAAMs or completely avoid 16x AAMs altogether.
12x AIM-120Ds is more than enough to do well. It’s balanced, and, imo, strictly historical for the USAF.
16x AIM-120Ds treads into theoretical territory, but is in line with the dual rack Fox-3s on the Su-30SM/SM2 and Eurofighters.
This 4/12 loadout just feels like either a cop-out or completely unnecessary. I’d prefer if Gaijin picked ONE to go with and not try to have a compromise. It just leaves dissatisfaction on both sides of the isle.
Yes, the EX and IA both have spherical RWR now.
EPAWSS for the EX
UEWS for the IA

Someone said they removed the MRML on reddit. But I don’t have the EX unlocked on the test server. (Am lazy to grind it there)
- F-15IA:
- countermeasures:
- 120x Split regular countermeasures + 60x Split large countermeasures → 60x Split regular countermeasures + 90x Split large countermeasures
- countermeasures:
F-15IA can now carry larger chaff cartridges than even the Rafale. What a notching machine. Won’t the F-15EX receive the same upgrade?
find me a pic of f15EX flying with more than 12 air to air missiles then ill consider it realistic.
The thing is, nobody in this world gives a crap if you consider it realistic or not. You are not special or more important than anyone else here.

ask 16 amraams for balcning purposes thats fine by me , i dont mind f15ex getting 16 amraams , but saying that 16xamraams is a real loadut is not true. gaijin wants f15ex to more more special than the f15GE so they gave it 4 more missiles. trust me if the win rate of f15EX is horrible then they will give it 16x amraams for sure.
Hello @Smin1080p_WT , now that F-15EX got its sperical RWR coverage can we finally get one implemented for Su-30SM2 too? it’s been 8 months…while it took 6 days to fix on F-15EX…

does the f15ia have more cms than the ex?
also isnt epawss supposed to give it extra cms? around 360 iirc
F-15EX x280 CM 120+60 (180) LCM 60+30 (90)
F-15IA x210 CM 60+0 (60) LCM 90+60 (150)
Basically, I think the F-15IA is superior due to its higher number of LCMs.

alright thanks, i think epawss is supposed to give the ex a bit more cms tho, someone correct me if im wrong
EPAWSS is stated to increase countermeasure capacity by 50%. If all F-15EX dispensers use standard-sized countermeasures rather than large-caliber ones, the total capacity is 240. A 50% increase would bring that number to 360.
