In my opinion, F-15E Early Air-to-Air armament from the desert shield & desert storm like F-15A MSIP I standard and Air-to-Ground armament not change game. limited medium-range Air-to-Air Missile AIM-7F & AIM-7M Sparrow only but AIM-120A not service until september 1991. and equipped 1st generation laser designator pod (LANTIRN AN/AAQ-14 targeting pod & AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod)

Guided Air-to-Ground munitions AGM-65B & AGM-65D Maverick, GBU-10 & GBU-12 Paveway II and GBU-24 Paveway III

Oh no, the poor HO 229 got undressed and became FSK 18+ content XD

with the nerf coming to the rarden, im curious to how long britain will get to enjoy the Gr4 before it gets hit with a massive nerf while I can bet the F15E and Su34 will probably sit untouched

When you need to destroy every technical in Libya/Syria

M8 look at the US almost 6 aircraft in the past update and this I’m sure the US doesn’t need the C

They don’t need to nerf a inferior plane. It gonna be outclassed by current UK cas planes like gripen or gr7.

Unless it comes with brimestones, then i could be the best CAS plane in game

Unlikely that would happen though

Welcome back HS129!!!

12 Brimstones + 4 ALARM would like a word

this thing can wipe out the entire enemy team if gaijin allows so

There was a trial loadout of 18 brimestones as well

It’s just silly to think that a developer who doesn’t want to introduce longbow on a helicopter would decide to introduce brimstone on a more potent platform like a plane.

they introduced current gen missiles on a potent strike platform too

ah wait no that one’s russian, its allowed to have good weapons

And a tornado IDS is a potent strike aircraft at 11.3?

Giving it a load of likely quite nerfed AGMs is going to suddenly not make it a tornado.

Yes, it was fine (though far from the best) strike aircraft at 11.3 before 1 mach limit killed gbu meta.

And before they added the pantsir.

Now it’s forced to only play at 11.7 and can never get a shot off due to fox 3s and pantsirs

in air RB? yes its a sitting duck

in ground RB? not so much, sure its subsonic but the extra speed wouldnt be as much of an advantage as you think

sure it doesnt have a pod but that doesnt make it a worse striker, its very good at low altitude hit and run

the tornado on the other hand is a High altitude flying brick, sure its faster and it has a cool pod but that thing cant escape a missile or even turn on target in low altitude engagements

both have strengths and weaknesses but the Su is DEFINETLY not bad, and I say that because I have used Su25s in ground RB and attempted to use Tornado ASSTA in the same mode
