Improved Radars for US top tier aircraft

They do incorporate MAWS though, which the EX explicitly lacks.

iirc APG-70 should have 100nmi range, probably same with 63v1

Fair point about the SABR

Never said anything about fixing on the thing about aesa, just that they all do have them irl

Fair point about CFT amber racks too

I also think F-15 should get IRST pod

SA has older radar, QA has same radar but doesn’t have weapons like the GBU-53 (neither SA or QA have them)

Legion restricts the flight performance envelope. You wouldn’t want it.

For ARB though QA would do better, it depends where you’d want to go, but this is why we have variety.

Shouldn’t R27 require you to be flying in straight line to fire? This shouldn’t matter in-game as there are far more pressing examples of this present

I believe there are cases ingame where having certain things equipped will restrict you, none immediately come to mind but when I looked into this prior i believe there is some cases.

I’ll check my notes later.

The F-15EX will get EPAWSS which will give it more CM, and maybe give it a better RWR

It will replace the old RWR but the current one is good. Ingame there will be no difference noticable not even in RWR bands i think. AFAIK it could very easily reduce countermeasure count as the ALE-45 are being replaced by one system; ALE-47 which holds 32 countermeasures per unit, depending on how many they add this could reduce the CM count, the EPAWSS simply digitalises and optimises the drop patterns from the ALE-47, the same was the Eurofighter’s does, which makes sense because its a BAE product.

I mean it does say broadband detection on BAE description, as well as geolocation (pinpoint targets)

This document has 2 F-15C as part of budget for EPAWSS so maybe we can see it on F-15C in future?

F-15EX more countermeasures, idk about the E though+ it should be able to carry BOL like the F-15C

I think @kitsune_qq mentioned F-15E getting 480 countermeasures with EPAWSS at some point

This might be the stupidest thing you have ever written.
Eurofighter mogs the Su-27 in Air SB. It’s not even close.

Yeah, I’m aware, but they seemed to be test aircraft (only 2 F-15C in the budget paper) so maybe they did get them?

They were listed as RDT&E after all

from which year budget paper is?

Made 2022 for FY2023 budget

well, maybe added again, in 2020 was excluded

Yeah, there is a timeline of program in document, but they didn’t add back full F-15C order, I believe they were the development aircraft mentioned

ASB isn’t a dogfight.

Re-read what I wrote and come back when you’ve had a think. Maybe two thunks.

The RMP would be a bit too good now. I suggest giving them more range. At least the AN/APG-70 and 63 as we have some sources that are ofc not manuals because those are sekrit
