The KV-7 isn’t real it can’t hurt us.

Yeah? Afaik its the only possible radar it can get while F-15E has APG-70 that it used. Also what benefits would AESA radar on a transport heli provide compared to F-15E?

Its a good place to start with implementation. A slow heli with no radar missiles. It will serve as a test for search modes and later it will get added to fighters (possibly F2 as a starter).

The appeal of it seems a bit irrelevant. I guess I don’t understand this fetish of “no, it can’t have that or that or that”. If it’s coming to the game, implement it correctly. It has an AESA system. It has 229 engines. It has 120Cs. If the argument is that this is an F-15E (Early) then that should be 100% clear and stated. And it’s not. Unless I missed it somewhere in the devblog on it, it’s just the F-15E. So hodgepodging components to force it into a box just seems asinine.

F-15E upgrades arent consistent. You might have F-15E with HMD and AESA radar but old 220 engines or F-15E with 229 engines, hmd but old apg-70. There’s no such thing as early or late when it comes to USAF operated F-15E models as they simply upgrade whats available at the moment.

There are much better options in the SEA region than another Gripen.

How do you think it plays as a personal question.

Hmmm that’s a great question and I don’t really know the answer myself Xd

I believe the stealth and IR signature is still WIP, or at least I hope so because it is severely lacking in the rear aspect.

Stealth is OK from the front, I managed to sneak up on some SPAAs in custom battle without showing up on radar. You are easily locked by track radar once you pass overhead (because the rear becomes visible)

Also easily seen on thermals, fairly easily locked on IRST track. You can be seen visually as well, it is not literally invisible XD

2x guided bombs, no guns, no countermeasures, no RWR, it is subsonic. The handling is surprisingly OK for a low-poly Dorito

So yeah… I’m not sure

Looks cool though!
