The F-15C MSIP 2 name says it’s from the 80’s upgrade program, but has a 90’s/early 2000s radar and 2003 or later JHMCS, and it’s main weapon is 1991 ARH missile
F-15E has 2000’s JHMCS, it’s name means it could be from either 1988 or 2024, and it has the 2006 GBU-39, and it uses a 1979 radar
F-16C in-game is a block 50, and USAF block 50’s got the AN/APG-83 radar irl
The point is, they are all mashups of upgrade programs, why not throw in another?
Yeah then give Eurofighter AESA too sound fair hah?
But many eurofighter ppl will tell you, once fixed, the CAPTOR-M will be good enough to compete against AESA, and it does have an insane FM
If the eurofighter does start to struggle, which I know it won’t (unless they don’t fix the radar which would be worst case scenario) then it should get the AESA
you know that would just kill the tech tree, right? just no new jets to research only adding things to previous jets. there will probably be a newer F-15C that gets an AESA alongside something like an AIM-120C.
If they are going to add a whole other F-15C I hope they at least add the experimental CFT AMBER racks
US mains try not to complain - impossible
i dont know what that means, dont explain it. but all the us tree can get for top tier is literally just the hornet (useless) and upgraded variants of previous jets. it would be better to ask for newer variants then ask for the radar to be added to a previous aircraft in the TT.
I mean we could get the F-16E too, and some advanced eagle (fly by wire, extra wing hard point) and export strike eagles, but yes, mostly will be different upgrades of existing airframes.
F-15E with AN/APG-82v1, EPAWSS (more countermeasures), and 120C at 14.7 then?
F-15C with BOL pods, AN/APG-63V3, and 120C at 14.3
F-16C with AN/APG-83 and 120C at 14.3
does the 15C and onward not use FBW? in warthunder the A, C and E is def modeled with FBW cause it is way too stable in full controls flight to be not
No, they are mechanical control aircraft, however they do have SAS damping
thats odd, must just feel that way due to how stable it is i guess
I would be fine with it if other nations get their equivalents as well.
Yeah, it’s a pretty stable and nice to fly jet, part of why they turned it into the air forces bomb truck
i guess its SAS works alot better then older jets SAS. i literally could never tell the difference in sim between it and literally anything with FBW
F-2A for Japan, a TVC Sukhoi with a late Russian PESA for Russia, J-10B for China,Israel has Kfir and F-15I upgraded, Sweden has Gripen E, France already has their equivalent, UK, Germany, and Italy all have their equivalent too
The advanced eagles are FBW, such as F-15QA/EX.
Mainly China, Russia, Sweden.
They don’t have 14.0 yet.
im pretty sure Israel would get the same radar upgrades for the most part though i am not sure. Kfir Block 60 will have an AESA onces its actually modeled, and the Lavi had an AESA
The issue with that one is it’ll add quite a bit of extra weight, since it is a very early AESA it needed a big cooling system, and because of that they had to add counterweights to keep it stable which adds even more weight.
The 63v3 solves this issue, and is also a fair bit more advanced
