Improved Radars for US top tier aircraft

Because it’s radar is garbage currently, you will see I have said that the eurofighter should gets it’s radar fixed first before adding US AESA radars

And F15E will be better anyway… Its high altitude kinematics is extremely superior to typhoon. You shed all your speed in 90° turn in typhoon. F15E does not. It carries more BVR missiles aswell and better CM load. Screw bols on EF, they are trash. Already 15C is better. Wanna 63 v2 or 3?? Give typhoon ECRS mk2.
Then go cry with US mains as Typhoon notches while supporting missiles.

Once BOL is fixed too it’ll be better than the F-15E currently.

The thing is the F-15 isn’t only fighting Typhoons, it’s fighting Rafale’s with their 18km death zone MICA’s
The only thing the strike eagle or F-15C can do and not got obliterated is go high and launch amraams, then rtb as quick as they can.

Radar fixed typhoon will be able to BVR effectively then switch to close range dogfighting with ease, while the only way to effectively play an F-15C/E is launch amraams from far away

63v2 is from 1999 or 2000, literally one of the very first AESA radars on a fighter, just slightly behind the F-2

63v3 is still an early/mid 2000’s radar and you think a late 2010’s and maybe even early 2020’s radar is justified against it?

If you want ERCS mk2, then US can get F-35 with APG-85 radar, that’s the actual counterpart

New F-16 with AN/APG-83 SABR AESA radar after F-16C Block 50 and battle rating 15.0 minimum

I’m not sure engine and airframe from F-16C Blk 50 or 52 but equipped with Litening Large Aperture because is the latest targeting pod

block 50’s

It should be, but it’s also heavier. Climb rate and maybe even energy retention will be worse. With that I think it would be a better fit at 13.7 as apparently AESA isn’t much of an upgrade here in WT and AFAIK it never really carried AIM-120s.

The first XF-2As had a mechanical radar and no ARH, so the F-16AJ never shoulda been added.

Anyway, this topic isn’t about the F-2 so I won’t go any further lol

It is INSANE to claim an F-15C is better than the EFT.

I might need it’s separate vehicle & after F-15E because radar and equipments close to advanced eagles (F-15EX & F-15QA) except engine (General Electric F110-GE-129) and hardpoint loadouts

I don’t know F-15C MSIP II from USA tech tree retain AN/APG-63(V)1 radar, or convert to AN/APG-63(V)2 or AN/APG-63(V)3 AESA radar

But if convert to AESA radar, can’t AIM-7 Sparrow capability

thats a bonus, means straight to AIM-120

The AIM-7M/MH and P can be guided by PD instead of dedicated CW emitter (they can’t actually home on CW to begin with), the latter has a datalink as well. Nothing stopping the V2 or V3 from guiding a M/MH or P. All modern USAF radars lack a dedicated CW emitter, like the AN/APG-71 or APG-68V(5). The earlier AN/APG-68(V) also lacked a dedicated emitter, opting to just have a HPRF mode that would generate a track that could be seen by CW seekers, while not being like the more modern PD tracks.

The AIM-7F was the last US sparrow to sport a dedicated CW to pulse doppler switch function outside of flood boresight, which is a backup function for all post F sparrows which mimics CW through the radar just dumping enough HPRF power forward.

probably AWG-9 also has option to launch Sparrow without CW, theres SP PD switch in RIO’s weapon control panel

Yep, that switch exists solely because the AIM-7F was in service during the F-14’s early life, it pretty much became obsolete once the 7F started being phased out midway through the F-14’s career.

f15IA gonna suck so bad,for some weird reason israel is ordering them withought EPAAWS

oh thats wierd, EPAWSS has been said to be on par or better than F-35 EW

i think israelis just like putting their own stuff on their jets regardless of whether it is better or not

Maybe israel would put an indigenous EW system as substitute like how they did with F15I (SPS-2110)

F-15E is faster than both at accelerating.
F-15C is fastest at low altitude.

@quartas121
Su-34’s radar is at best on-par with the F-15C radar. It scans at about the same rate.
F-15C’s radar is literally in the top 5 in-game.
Also Typhoon’s radar isn’t anywhere close to trash.
Typhoon doesn’t use BOL either.

As I and many others have said, it’s obvious you just want F-15s to be OP again rather than just being equal.

Cause the Rafale has more information on it than the F-2, give it time and F-2 will arrive.
And Kfir C10 is an export aircraft which means more information as well, it’s also a hilariously bad aircraft.

not better than typhoon

nope, since it slower than typhoon

Su-34 have instantaneous target scan

it is, since it has a lot of false targets.

it does.

F-15E time to climb to mach 1.5: 2 minutes 2 seconds.
Typhoon: 2 minutes 17 seconds.
Typhoon is slower.
Su-34’s radar has a scan rate just like everything else, I know cause I use it.
Typhoon’s false targets were fixed a week ago or further.

Also it appears they switched it to BOL on the statcard.

on deck - 100% not.

with which loadouts?

scan rate by itself - yes
but also takes 0 sec to update targets, gaijin’s implementation of PESA and AESA

welp, theyre still here, untill youre using smallest scan zone
