How many CMs does the F-15I get compared to the F-15E?
Perhaps the F-15E will be no different than what we already have, but the F-15I will have 360 rounds.

the main thing that would make the 15E stand out is if it’s labeled a Strike Jet
Which would be devastating in GRB.
yes because the steering of the equivalent of what is a direct beam on a Parabloic mirror antenna on a Phased array radar works by sending off radio waves on diffrent antennas at a diffrent time relative to each other which results in them cancleing each other out partially and that in return makes the effective Beam go another direction than the real beam’s went, the more aggressive the change in direction is the more energy you lose in the effective beam
enjoy my Paint skills (none)
Red: Emitted wave
Green: changed wave
Blue: Beam direction
Thick Black: antenna
Thin black: range “shape”
I found another graphic for how Phased arrays work
I found a better graphic to show the range cone
And unnecessary fearmongering.
The technology itself is well understood but the exact capabilities are muddied in sales talk and thereby up to Gaijin to use for balancing.
I hope Gaijin just thrusts AESA into the game just to show people that it’s not some omnipotent end-game solution that obsoletes every other non-AESA carrier.

doesn’t the ASRAD already have it
exactly, AESA isn’t exactly super technology and while its certainly gamechanging it’s definetly not unbeatable and by no means Overpowered, its just diffrent
I must remind you that the base technology of phased arrays was around since the introduction of Radar, infact the first Radars were ALL what we now call PESA radar, just with less advanced control circuits behind it
an early example of a PESA radar is FuMG 41/42 Mammut

ASRAD-R has an AESA radar, yes, but its modelled like a PESA radar in that is has only one beam
Probably will be. The whole point of the variant is to be an F-15 with strike capabilities. Don’t see how that would make ground RB tremble though, ground only goes up to 12.0, you can avoid it easy by simply not using aircraft over 12.0 br.

Im personally wondering if we will really notice any meaningful difference, at least over the good radars already in game.
The engines 100% make up for the extra weight, when CFTs are removed.
with the Current implementation it’ll be a faster PD radar with maybe a bit clearer view
if they correctly implement the range based on angle then the early ones may even be worse than PD radars of the same time for any targets that arent right infront of you
without the introduction of ECM to the game even Multi beam AESA can be implemented without meaningful diffrences to gameplay because sure these radars are harder to Chaff and you can’t notch them easily but current top Air combat is already at a point where you’ll be off better if you shoot your missile first and go hiding behind mountains after
the New missiles that inevitably come with more modern radars will be the most important point to worry about imo
You got a picture of the best jet in England right there!
that’s and odd Typhoon
Ground goes up to 12.0
without a BR increase Air is 12.7 in GRB
Meaning the F-15E would be 12.7
But the real scary part is that as a strike jet it’s spawn cost is independent of the F-16Cs meaning you can spawn both in without incurring a spawn cost increase on the other.
Is it okay without a walking stick? Im sure the Typhoon would be happy to carry its bags for it
yeah the Typhoon’s got this, with its AESA radar that still isn’t in service with the RAF
Doesnt need it. CAPTOR-M was apparently far better than most early AESA and even to this day, can easily keep up. Which makes you wonder how good CAPTOR-E is going to be when it is installed soon.
CAPTOR-M carrying Typhoons reliably beat AN/APG-81 carrying F-35s in exercises
its easily the best PD radar that was put on a fighter until now
and as Nagisei said the salestalk and Fearmongering that fog up the reality of AESA radars really show for this example
