Major Update "Leviathans" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Yeah a few could really benefit hard from it (tho i forgot the names of the jets ill be honest)

Dear Error 405 i hope your pillow is warm

some F-16s and F-15s mostly from what I understand

Yeah. Its been 2 weeks. Im surprised they ahvent fixed it yet

I think the F-15C could get BOLs, it doesnt necessarily need them, but it would be awesome to see. Not sure about the F15J and F15J(M) tho, would need to dig a bit

i know we have USS fletcher but could we see USS johnston ?
Destroyer Photo Index DD-557 USS JOHNSTON

Found this photo of a Jordanian F.6 with 100 gal tanks on the outboard

2nd picture down

source: Hawker Hunter F.6 (4) Page 01-960 Has a few more pictures of the 100 gal tank

Struggling to find anything else though

Yeah, I dont think 2 would hurt too much, but is tricky and I dont think Japan ever had BOL, but they might choose to be one of their cases of "F-15=F-15 and therefore if one can carry them, they all can.

Shame that doesnt apply to everyone, but alas…

Oh, very nice

Also we probably need to report 230 Gallon tanks for the FGA9 too

They already get AAM-3 and 4 + 9M, 120A vs just 9M and 120A on the US F-15C so it evens out

No, not really. It would make 0 sense to give them to jets that never used BOLs. Rather give those who dont have their full CMs they should have (cough thai F16) the proper amount

side grade Aim-9M and Aim-120B vs 320 LCMs… Doesnt sound quite balaned to me

640, 4 rails can be fitted

Anyways US should be allowed to have good version of its own aircraft for once

Well theoretically speaking the J and J(M) could probably carry them. I mean aren’t they just F15C but upgraded by Mitsubishi or am i mixing something up

Blame the US for selling their equipment so other countries upgrade it

and what we were saying is that it would better to limit the amount of BOL in favour of BOL being full strength than BOL being nerfed because a few have loads.

F-15 with 2x BOL at full strength dwarfs 4x BOL at 1/4 strength.

And the F-15C can just go to 14.0 I guess.

Same exact aircraft just nuclear devices removed and domestic RWR

if only aim-9M had historical range

It’s weirdly inconsistent…

For example on the F-15J(M) we get AIM-9M because it could carry them, even if Japan never had any and they’re outclassed by the AAM-3, but no GBU-8 despite it having the capability and there not being an equivalent.

So really it’s just whatever Gaijin wants it to be
