F-15EX Dev Discussion Thread

to be honest i think the israeli air tree is the single least interesting air tree in the game, i understand why it was added considering the sheer variety of weapon systems but the aircraft themselves are utterly boring.

Yeah they should add the biggest dorito the YB-49

Man is still living, coping and seething in 2024.

Tell that to the Rafale

only when F-15 and Su-30 empty weights are reduced to that of EFT/Rafale

Their BVR flight models and superior radars don’t diminish magically when you take away their excessive missile count.

Heavy fighters like the F-15A wallop most of their br range in terms of flight performance even when fighting hornets, mig 29s, F-16s etc

A buff for the EX.
They changed the F-15EX MachMax1 values from 1.10 to 1.20 and from 1.15 to 1.30 which affects at transonic and supersonic speeds, they also increased CdMin from 0.0080 to 0.0082 so there is slightly more drag on that specific surface but this increase has a very minimal effect on the MachMax multiplier.
Basically, more speed above Mach 1.

This is a forum where we discuss the future of the game and our expectations. We have always hoped to get a complete weapon system. Some people use “balance” as a reason to demand the removal of various things. This issue hasn’t happened just once — it has happened countless times. There have been calls to delete both the F-15IA and the F-15EX, as well as all kinds of reports aimed at improving the competitiveness of their own nation’s vehicles in the game. The attitude is often “if I don’t have it, then you shouldn’t have it either.”
We can’t stop greedy people, but from the very beginning to the end, all we have ever wanted is a complete aircraft.

all american aesas also got buffed, they can now detect and track at much further ranges, especially the ex radar

ive been asking for this for literally ages so im really glad we finally got a range buff, apparently lock/detection range was also buffed universally, which tells me we might be seeing larger maps/more long range radar missiles very soon

282.9KM?? That is very impressive, nice :D

i think it can use the full 296km range, but thats not my screenshot lol

very happy that an f15 radar is finally feeling like an f15 radar

War Thunder has never modeled pylon drag, & I doubt they’ll start now.
It’s why you can still effectively go max-speeds with full missile loads in War Thunder.

thats even more impressive tbh XD

Oh, I never noticed that, that is extremely impressive

yea lol its a modded mission to increase map range or something, can change weapons too as you can see

id test it myself but i dont have a good nuclear escalation custom mission to do it in

ik ik, just funny to see this missile on ex
