Looks like they removed the AN/AAS-42/tiger eyes irst pod from the F-15EX
Can’t make IRST work even it they make it a fixed attachment 🤣

US is really risking a huge struggle to counter 5th gens…
They can never make IRST pods work, they could not make F-18E’s IRST pod work

That was different as that was removable which is unsupported by the engine at present
I mean, we’ll have some of our own.
But they seriously need to get podded IRST working, I need it for AIM-174 launching and using the pod’s own DL to instant range with IRST for the F-15EX AIM-120D-3

Yeah but good luck trying to effectively use 4.5th gens vs them with no IRST. Going to be one hell of a ride.
Oh come on gaijin, seriously? Did they at least add integrated esm yet?

Well it should be supported now because the ESM on most nato aircraft is based on the HARM’s seeker, and it works in game like a radar but slightly different. And you can fire the harms, and once you fire them all you lose ESM.
ESM is a new feature so doesn’t have as much tech debt
Take a guess
