I dont mind that. F-15I late would most likely come with AESA, AIM-120C5 and Python 4 so thats cool.

The X-38MT has a range of 70km IRL, hence again, I would not say they are overpowered given the F-15I/F-16D can only carry a few of them.

They can carry 2 but only F-15I can carry the base version since fins are too big for F-16. Popeye also takes away underwing missiles and needs DL pod to be used. SPICE 2000 on the other hand doesnt block underwing missiles and doesnt require DL pod. F-15I can also carry up to 4 of them.
que times will be considerably longer and battles would be very boring, in the current maps the stealth of f22 and f35 cant actually make a difference (in theory), there was a guy testing the stealth of the f22 in DCS and he would get detected at around 20 kms (by a S400) if i remember correctly, so the only thing that f22 and f35 would actually improve on are the missiles being that f22 (and i think f35 too) are the only capable aircraft of carrying AIM120D, which god knows how gaijin will implement since is still highly classified, so i would expect the ultimate top tier in the best scenario to be something like F22 vs F35 vs Rafale vs SU57 (maybe even the gimmick SU75 LOOL) and maybe even the last model of Eurofighter and maybe even F15EX, that is the best scenario for you, because gaijin would most likely include F15C and F15E in the matches too
A 14.7 F-35 would mean that the current top tier planes would be able to face an F-35. That is not good. Even at 15.0 they would be several BRs too low because that’s only 1.3 BRs away from the current top tier aircraft, which should be 14.0 at this point.

if f35 would drop tmrw it wouldnt even break the game because gaijin wasnt even capable of correctly simulating Fox 3 and much less actual stealth, so i wouldnt expect an actual big deal unless they buff ARHs and fix stealth
I’m sorry are you arguing pro BR compression?
yes, but the current jets would get their later models of ARHs and IRs, im not gonna debate whats good and whats bad, but believe me knowing gaijin they wouldnt care much
im not arguing anything, i just added my opinion on how gaijin will probably proceed
that too, but US is not the only operator of f35s, the italians will dominate top tier they already dominate ground just because the hungary’s 2a7 that every italian main spawns first
new conspiracy theory
i always wondered what those thick side things are, it looks like a dog on steroids
are they fuel tanks like how F15C has?
yes, those are also Conformal Fuel Tanks
AN/APG-68(V)9 radar like USAF F-16CM (Block 50), F-16AM Block 15 eMLU (RTAF) and F-16C/D Plus (Block 50/52)
Pratt and Whitney F100-PW-229 engine from F-16C/D Block 52
F-16I late equip Litening pod probably newer Litening III, 5th gen IR missile, SPICE guided munitions 4 variants and cruise missile Rampage
The F-15I plus, upgraded F-15I Ra’am to F-15IA standard but not changed engine
F-16D Block 30 Barak equipment like F-16C Block 30 but armed Python 5 like F-16I Sufa late and carried Litening III targeting pod
F-16C Block 30 Barak never equipped target designator pod
When is the next air event? I’m hoping soon because I got like a good month here where I don’t have any later shifts and I neeeeeeeeed more grind

Sufa yes but I’m not sure about F-16Ds
but it would be so cancer 
Any news on whether the JA37 HUD will get the radar lock indicator? I thought I saw something earlier but I can’t scroll through 10,000 replies to find it again…
Report got accepted thats all I can say for now
