Yeah, but you said
What would you think of giving tomcat GEN-X decoys?
Fair point. But with the buff they shouldn’t have kept the 2 aircraft at the same BR as long as they did.

WT is not ready for Decoy systems.
I think it would be a cool thing for the first couple of days/weeks but would in no way fix the integral (but artificial) problems of the F-14. Plus, everyone and their mother would be screaming for it on other jets, and at that point we just get more BS in the game.

It’s like Britecloud but older. Just better chaff really
Just give it 9Ms. It wouldn’t be crazy 9Ms do not seem “as difficult” as they used to be to flair and it would give the tomcat something more than the enemy just going oh I see smoke pop 1 flair.

US only operator of those anyways, at least afaik. But I think Britecloud (newer counterpart) would also be cool to see since we have those as well
Tbh, US doesn’t really have any issues regarding countermeausres for rest of game. We have spectral flares, towed decoys, expendable decoys, decoy missiles, whatever you can think of
Controversial, but I don’t think it needs 9Ms. It needs its radar fixed, the Aim-54C buffed, and the flight model unnerfed. Leave the 9M for the D to complete the cycle. Especially now that the F-14A and B are foldered.

Each there own. There will be plenty of ideas on what needs to be done to fix the 14. But as of right now. There is no change. Nor any foreseeable change.
can anyone help me figure out the loadout of this F-15?
Those are python 4 or 5, not AIM-9 (double fins in front)
The fuselage ones could be early 120 or AIM-7, like you said.
And the pod is probably lantirn. Never heard of F-15 being able to use litening
That is definitely a JDAM though
I give this loadout 8/10, it’s well rounded but JDAM only good against stationary target. If it had SPICE 2000 would be 9/10, and if it had cruise missiles 10/10

And still more buffs to go, though I do fear how vulnerable they will all be to IR missiles. Especially the FA2 facing mostly IRCCM with BOL as its main defence
Only AP round obviously go through lol
True
All I really see Israel getting from Turkey is the K2 derivative, maybe the 1 stealth fighter in the future (doubt it’s better than F-35 though)
Israel already has another F-16 lined up
It’s done by both, it’s a joint squadron, that’s the whole point. Also, it’s part of USAF 366th Fighter Wing anyways. Which is part of 15 AF. Which is part of USAF Air Combat Command.

The Altay is not a K2 derivative. It is loosely based on the K2, however that’s it. It is it’s own thing in almost every way.

That image is from the Bundeswehr articel about the 2A7A1, I don’t see why it wouldn’t be one
