The Derby missile not being a modification for the F15C and F15I:
As I was playing in the normal server and in the Dev, I found out that the Derby missile, an Israeli made missile for their on plane, is not found on the F15C and F15I.
The Derby (by the words of Rafael) is fully usable with both variants of the F15.
It would be much appreciated if you could add the Derby missile to the F15C and F15I.

I would really enjoy being able to use the Derby just for the fun of it. I find it to be a quite fun High Off Boresight missile to use until we get the Python 4.
(However I believe it’s unable to be mounted on the fuselage pylons and only the underwing pylons, so a minimum of 4 Derby’s.)
But we do agree that the Derby SHOULD be on the aircraft it was made for
i would love to have derbys on the sufa
Derby is an export missile. Israel doesn’t use it the reason it’s on the Barak is cause Barak was made to be compatible with all Israeli weapon systems
The Barak IIs have them because the Barak Is tested them, which is honestly a bit of a stretch as is and an even bigger once for Sufa. I myself could have sworn I’ve once read that IAF F-16s were made compatible with derbies but I’ve never been able to locate a source for that claim. For now IAF aircraft that haven’t been known to use a weapon or have details of their integration can’t use them. This means without sourcing no derbies for anything other than aircraft known to have tested them. It also means things like no spice bombs or Israeli missiles for the F-35I.
Well, for the Br of the Israeli F15 there should also be the I-Derby for the Sufa and the Kfir C.10, while the I-Derby-ER is added in the not too distant future.
