F15E vs F15I "controversy" and the real problem of the American main-based player

The issue is Gaijin will always choose the lesser variants to add to the US tree, then force us to grind the improved variant later. It’s repeated across the tree, but foreign mains only see the complaints because they aren’t grinding the tree.

The other issue is foreign mains cry constantly about the US getting a lot of stuff, but the Us has a lot to add. Everyone cries but then turns around and cries about US mains crying. Its absurd.

having the best round does not make it meta or competitive funny enough, you weren’t playing it either btw.

but the countries that buy the export versions make domestic modifications to adapt the aircraft to the specific needs of that country… hence the differences.

This is the main reason that I and so many others are excited for the F-15I, it’s so modifiied and unique that it’s practically a new aircraft in comparison to the F-15E, yet we are ridiculed because it has accurate engines but lacks all form of other modifications that make it unique, doesn’t even have the modified cockpit iirc

The Baz Meshupar’s cockpit is supposed to look like this as of the variant added to the game

Just imagine how nice it would be to fly in sim with such a versatile MFD, but instead we get a copy paste F-15C cockpit despite the plane not being an F-15C :sob:

Don’t they have laser rangefinders at those BR? And you are still basically telling him to dodge a bullet, which is impossible as a small human, let alone as a big armored vehicle

They might not be the best variants the US could get, but they are variants balanced against what others get.

Also… The US has a lot of variants of stuff. The snail tries to give each one it’s moment in the sun as flagbearer of the update. Sometimes this means you get something slightly behind the meta, sometimes this means you get something that defines the meta.

You can’t just give US the best possible variant of everything all the time, because that just means all the lesser variants get added obsolete and DOA down the line (or just never added at all which is an even bigger shame).

So a completely made up vehicle is missing stuff? There is literally no proof outside of a PROPOSAL that went nowhere

You don’t get it yet? Bit of a yikes there. Toxin is saying correctly that the other guy HAS To shoot his dart either at you or into the dirt to RELOAD HE (which he will not have loaded by default) and THEN he can LOB it at you, which at long range IS noticable and you CAN move out of the way.

because, and i’ll quote your friend’s supposed criticism of US additions,

The reason the F-16AJ is in game is because americans would whine far too much about the F-2 being added as a prototype because it outshines any american F-16s in game, and we can’t have that can we

I don’t know why you’re so insistent on talking about tanks in a topic about airplanes… but ok

more like because its a gen 4.5 and not a gen4

Eh not really, it’s a bigger f16 with larger wings so it’s more maneuverable but there are some tradeoffs like it’s weight, and there was a prototype without AESA that couldve come with aim 7 and aim9 then go to aam4

YF-2 could’ve come with the F-16C

And if they want Aesa they can get F-2A and we can get F-16C BLK 50 PoBIT with AN/APG 83, F-16E BLK 60 with AN/APG 80 and F-15C w/ AN/APG 63v2 or v3, and F-15E with AN APG 82v1

Still, what’s a better addition (without regarding subtrees), a proposal for an aircraft with similar capabilities as the competition, or a historically accurate prototype that would blow anything else out of the water, according to the logic of these two, the latter would be better solely because it’s historical

Because he is willing to fight, tooth and nail to defend his right to main america, and that everyone else should be worse RAAAHHHHH

yeah… no… F-2 would smoke any F-16 in game rn. The airframe doesnt have disadvantages that matter.

Yes, do you want the F-2A with AESA to replace it instead, or leave japan with nothing between the F-4EJs and F-15?

It’s heavier and has a lower ttw

Could have come, but at this rate I’m guessing one of those will be a premium added alongside a TT plane since it shoulda been added a few patches ago already in terms of capability.

Well it seems you won’t have an issue with it, no whining when it comes then :thumbs up:
