F-15I Receiving Standoff Weapons

Y’all got a new bomb for that Tornado, but yeah Germany needs CAS and general aircraft desperately.

You expect things to be rendered beyond 20km. And as said previously - if they’re slower… Wouldn’t it be a worse AGM-65?

I’m still putting Netz in my lineup just because Mav’s are the only thing which can contest Pantsir.

My worst fear is having to drop Ra’am for the same reasons. This is literally Israel’s best of the best of IRL. This shouldn’t be a thought that even crosses my mind.

+1 SPICE 1000, SPICE 2000 and Popeye would be great to have in game. Finally some domestic A2G options for Israel

“New bomb” XD

Lol. Lmao even

I see discussion over spice 250s disrupting balance above, I believe the perfect answer here is to add a 4x spice 1000 loadout, which would give us what we need while also maintaining match integrity. Way less potent than 6x mavericks + a rack of paveways and a rack of GBU/53

The F-15I has ground radar, it doesnt need to be rendered. Also yes, stuff renders beyond 20km, and yes, Spice would be better than mav despite being slower. the speed isnt super relevant when its F&F.

So you’re saying that Mavericks are actually better? Mavericks are also F&F

Bug report already passed, and accepted as a suggestion.

key word, suggestion

No, because if speed isnt super relevant, range is, and the spice absolutely obliterates the mavs in range. the mav is like 20-25km if you’re pushing it hard. The spice can do that from a low alt drop easily, and as stated can hit at 100km+.

If they model SPICE as bombs they would be missile-proof too so Pantsir wouldnt be able to shot them down without using guns.

I will say though, I am heartened to see many US mains here calling for Ra’am to get standoff.

My biggest fear was you’d get your engines and just forget all of us Israel players who supported you in that. Thanks for coming back to our plight lol.

Its not overly surprising seeing US mains support Isreal, the US does so unconditionally irl as well…

Still better than the last bug report on it that got denied because they “Don’t intend on adding long range weaponry”

SPICE will not be tracking at 100km, there’s no map that’s 100km. And realistically speaking. It’s IIR seeker will probably not pick up the target until 20-30km.

It’s a bit of speculation here and there. But the seeker can only pick up something as good as the Imaging IR system can.

the problem is you can lob them into the map then they start tracking when they get there

This is true for AGM-65s as well (POINT track until TARGET track) as it cruises in range

Same applies for KH-29TE. a fast missile with a mediocre target track but since its so fast. It picks up a TARGET track.
