if F-15JM is truly from 2019, wouldn’t that make it the most modern plane in game? with maybe the exclusion of Su-25SM3 because I have zero clue if/when it was fitted/test fired Kh-38s

I mean, as the game stands now, I don’t think the F-15C needs it tbh…

I just personally think an F-15C with JHMCS (meaning it’s from ~2006, should get 9Xs, and should get at least 120C-7s) should not be kept lower in BR when it can simply get a radar upgrade and be competitive with other planes (obviously whenever those planes are added).
In my mind the F-15A should get AIM-120As and TWS (the PSP radar should get TWS as it had it IRL) and move up, while the F-15C gets its upgrades (when the F-15C gets its upgrades). This solves the issue of the F-15A being too low in BR and terrorizing 11.3 while also providing the F-15C its armament with proper counters (eg. the F-2A, Rafale, Eurofighter, etc.). It is for this reason that I would prefer not to see another F-15C variant.
(I am well aware that simply moving the F-15A up in BR solves the issue of it terrorizing 11.3, but what I am suggesting would put it so far away from 11.3 that there’s zero chance of it becoming an issue again. I’m a firm believer that the F-15 platform mostly should not face Gen 3 aircraft unless they are heavily upgraded like the F-4F ICE or the MiG-21 bison).

The F-15A can be a pre-fox 3 era jet BUT it can receive TWS for it’s radar and to model them properly and it can simply go to 12.7 as the others. The F-15C can go and receive more upgrades as the game goes on. We don’t need another F-15C that has the (V)3 instead of the (2) or the 120D instead of the 120C-7 or the 9X. These upgrades can all come the the F-15C making it a later year variant.

I believe Su-57 has terrible stealth compared to other 5th gens. Air intakes and the visible engine/airway fans from the front point of view support that fact. So I will quite disappoint if Gaijin made the Su-57 actually stealth. Like “Just as good as the others” Stealth
It doesn’t but I don’t prefer to settle for 2nd best. It’s somewhat fine as it is now, but there is problems with it’s radar, and a first step into AESA would be either with the F-15C or F-2. (I also just want it as a convince because I like seeing multiple targets displayed on my screen and where they are, and lock them up)
Also. When low smoke motor fox 3?

Future F-15s can get AIM-9Xs.
AIM-9X, R-73M, AAM-5B, IRIS-T, etc are too soon for the game, and shouldn’t be on existing or near-future airframes.
There are at least 2 AESA F-15s. One C, and at least the EX.
There’s no reason to nerf the F-15A and C in such a way.

Su-57 isn’t a stealth aircraft. It’s a Russian Rafale, and it’s a gen 4.5 jet.
Gaijin knows it’s not stealth. Gaijin will add Mig-41 or another stealth prototype for Russia to compete against F-35.

I am not advocating for these things to be added now. Again when future vehicles get added and equivalent weapons get added the F-15C can receive those upgrades. There’s no need to add a whole separate variant when we’re simply changing the radar model.
Again, the F-15C and F-16C are both from ~2006 due to the fact that they have JHMCS. The whole point of JHMCS was to have integration with the AIM-9X. We don’t need the AIM-9X in game right now, but whenever it does get added there is zero reason for the F-16C and F-15C to not get them. Historically, they had AIM-9Xs before JHMCS was even added to them.
Furthermore, the F-15A getting Fox-3s and moving up accordingly would be more balanced than it currently is IMO. Either way, it should move up anyways and get its TWS regardless of it getting Fox-3s or not. I just think it would fit better if the F-15A got Fox-3s since that was the whole point of giving it the PSP upgrade.

2006 is before 2010, which is the alleged earliest production really hit on the new F-15C.
And F-15A is OP at its current BR.

It’s only a 4 year difference. Again, simply adding a new radar on a preexisting airframe is much easier and, in my opinion, a better option than adding a whole new aircraft.
Concerning the F-15A, I don’t really care what happens to it outside of it getting its TWS and going up in BR. It should be 12.7 without a doubt. If it got AMRAAMs it would likely just sit where the F-15C currently sits while the F-15C goes up, of course minus the HMD and a slightly worse radar. This would be pretty fair in my opinion considering AMRAAMs are currently the best Fox-3 for long range at the moment.

Personally, I hope F-15C MSIP II at USA tech tree from 1998 ~ 2002 and not change radar
In next quarter or fourth quarter, AIM-120C & AIM-120C-5 instead AIM-120A on F-15C MSIP II
Ah right, I predict after F-15C MSIP II maybe new F-15C with AN/APG-63(V)2 or AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar in rank 9 for future

AIM-120C-5 in cdk file, but no AIM-120C-3
I might want AIM-120A replace by AIM-120C-3 & AIM-120C-5 on F-15C MSIP II for third major update or fourth major update or winter major update

C-3 will not really superior for A, not much difference
C-5 looks better, less energy losses by INS mistakes. Better engine(btw total force is near to similar, but accelerates better)
