Yeah, the whole precedent for the post is after CAPTOR-M and some other M scans get their bugs and inaccuraciea fixed, and once AESA/PESA like Rafale and Kfir and su34 are tweaked to more accurate performance, then I think it would be fair to consider better radars for stuff like the F-15C and E
Partially why I said bait because Gaijin haven’t even modelled AESAs properly yet. It should be a near instantaneous scan, but right now it’s the usual horizontal scan except it’s super fast.
Is there something in the original post that made it seem like I didn’t want other AESA fixed? Because I want all of them functioning correctly
It was your faith that these mechanics would be accurately represented, not the fact that you wanted them accurately modelled.

I think they just need time, bug reports, and technical data
Time part is why I changed it just now to say “in the future” for adding US AESA radars
Yet another update has come and went, and we didn’t even getan XF-2A…
USA already has meta radars.
F-15C/E we have in-game uses a mechanical radar IRL.
You just want USA to be OP without equivalent. Is it cause you lack the skill to be on an even playing field?
Which are equal to the F-15 radars we have in-game as-is.
14.3+, not 14.0.
F-15C is already OP as is at 13.7 and needs to be equal BRs with the equal aircraft: Typhoon, Rafale, F15E, etc.
USA can get F-16V, but if you want AESA on 8 AIM-120 launching platforms with meta time to climbs then you gotta wait.
if youre about AESA radars - theres already V004(PESA), Rafale with AESA, Kfir with AESA(almost here, few days left)
they became smth OP due of radar? not really
V004 is inferior, and the other two are inferior to F-15C/E outside WVR, and Kfir is just bad overall.
PESA isn’t AESA.
Rafale doesn’t have AIM-120s.
Kfir doesn’t have airframe or engine.
Thanks for admitting F-15C/E would be OP.
Come back with a better take like F-16V.
in game G-limiters were removed (also with an unrealistic G response from the pilot) and structural limits increase (to 1.5 x)…
So reverse this and then legion would be good
in game theres 0 difference
but, muh aesa
kfir sits on 13.0, yet
and will be OP in what aspects?
like, only thing they would be good - BVR
for WVR theyre almost useless now
Kfir sits at 13.0 with the 2nd worst airframe at 13.0, with a rather poor time to climb, and less countermeasures than the worst airframe at 13.0.
It has hard limitations that balance its AESA + 4 AMRAHMs.
Rafale doesn’t have AIM-120s which limits its radar functionality to those of the MICA EM [as well as other “balancing” decisions].
And on top of all that, F-15C/E is currently OP at 13.7, balanced at 14.0, and has one of the best radars in the game; AS WELL as being historically accurate with their radars. Neither are the refits; sure the refits can be added later [possible foldered vehicles], but so can the F-15EX.
Also WVR they’re still mach 1.2 monsters, you just don’t dogfight, not even in Rafale and Typhoon.
lol, funny
and you dont need to climb in Kfir, due of Derby
Spoiler
you already have a refit in game - 63v1 were installed after upgrades in 2000s, aswell as JHMCS and other stuff
on low alt Typhoon is way faster, than F-15
on high alt theyre on par in best cases for F-15
The radar on Su-34 and Rafale are better than anything in US 13.7 and 14.0 but I digress
The F-16V is simply too new to add imo, I believe a better option would be the F-16E desert falcon due to it’s less advanced (but still very capable) AESA radar
Funny to me that the two nations that were the first to put AESA radars on aircraft, the US and Japan, are not the first to get said radars in game.
Instead France of all nations is somehow the first, followed by Israel.

Yeah truly a shame

It’s even funnier when you consider that those AESA radars certainly came in worse aircraft flight performance-wise than the eurocanards we just got. The F-2 is a heavier F-16C with more wing area, and no increase in engine power at all. It could/should have already been added.

Your not doing the F-2 it’s justice, it’s quite a good turning jet, but yeah, they should have come with F-15E imo and F-15E + F-2 to 14.0

funny to me that US dominates for 1-2 years straight and in some minds, they should still be the most blatantly OP nation at top tier air.
F-15E is STILL BEST BVR slinger in game, typhoon is nowhere near it.
