Major Update "Heavy Cavalry" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

Fun fact, RMP has a newer and better radar too, but the F-15SG literally has the radar we have in game right now, the AN/APG-63v3 which can already be found on the F-15C GE, so really there’s even less reason not to add F-15SG in game BY NOW.

iirc 15SG is the “final step” before EX in terms of A2A Power, since it should also bring MAWS, while still lacking the “wingtip” missile pylons that the EX can carry. @AquaUselessGod do you know if the 15SG has an even better engine over 15E? or i’m completely off with this one

SG uses the GE-129 engines, which is going to be overall better than the PW-229s in most scenarios. It’s also the same engine used by the F-15EX.

The F-15QA is the direct predecessor to the EX and is better than SG

The more fitting statement for the F-15SG would be “The most advanced Strike Eagle” rather than “The predecessor of the Eagle II”.

i see i see mb :)

If you don’t count F-15E RMP and F-15SR then sure

If I don’t see it I don’t acknowledge it :p

Either way the F-15SG probably still has room for growth in the future IRL depending on where our MINDEF and the RSAF wants to take it, the finalised step would be to upgrade them to EX avionics without the airframe and FBW improvements to allow for better datalink with the soon to be in service F-35s.

Or we’ll probably just end up ordering F-15EXs in the far future, who knows.

They should already have Link 16 capability. I doubt Singapore would get EX’s since the SG is already a fairly modern F-15 configuration and those airframes still have at least 20 more years

I’m not sure tbh, I do know our F-16s are upgraded with Link 16 capabilties.

Singapore ministry of defense says their F-15SG have it

Yeah did a quick check, nice. Guess we’re set for the next 20-30 years other than buying more F-35s ig lol.

To expand on this, is there a plan to lower Rank 6 helicopter RP cost in the future to match air/ground more?

The costs are rather excessive especially for a vehicle time that can only be played in more limited ways. So if there isn’t it would a bsomething I believe Gaijin should consider in the future.

Stop acting extremely parasocial. That’s the death of the soul.

Parasocial to what? to who?

They could have and made the Captor function correctly, then added later tranches.

at least american players finally got their way

I do wonder how many months to years it will take for gaijin to finally add the ALARM below 12.3 i mean surely in the time being they up the BR of the Su39 to 12.0 or the very least 11.7 with 6 VERY good ARMs and the Tornado RET.8 to 12.0 as they are both armed with better ARMs then the ALARM

Already confirmed multiple times how they are trying to release the Greek subtree within 2026

could be worse.
you could be stuck to the armat
