F-15EX Eagle.

all this nondescript grieving only to be upset by the fact that the EX will come to the game with 16 missiles now that the inner wing MRML has been confirmed for the golden eagle

And I’m the one coping here btw

There will be plenty of sources for a bug report to remove it. While I am certain with enough spending the EX could use more than 12 A2A missiles. The Air Force probably sees no value in it. (Justifiably so)

there are plenty of sources to remove far more erroneous things in the game that the developers have taken no action on

whats actually stopping it from using 16 though? it gets completely revised and modernized computers and FCS

Same thing that stopped the F-14D from getting the AMRAAM upgrade.

there’s no definitive unclassified answer that even says it’s incapable of using more than 12, it’s just speculation based on one line excerpts from advertising material

but the F-15EX is already integrated with AMRAAM and MRML. they just say 12 because thats the standard “full” a2a loadout for an advanced eagle

Not like theres anything suggesting 12+ missiles is possible in service too. Carrying/ferry capability? Sure But actually firing these missiles is another story.

this is hardly a definitive cap

could be the 4 points where MRML can go, the 2 wing stations on each side

Just a little bit of clarification, it seems that Gaijin has said they would like to give top fighters with ESA, so Kfir wouldn’t suffice in this regard.

not like it matters for war thunder, the devs pick and choose

“we would like […]” is hardly a promise some people are trying to push as the true narrative.

They wanted, they tried but at the end failed to provide ESA for all nations. Happens

True, and I don’t see anything in there about “end of the year”. @Levi_Ackerman

Possibly but nothing seems to show that it does ATM. As I said I don’t think the Air Force sees a value in >12 missiles probably doesn’t even see it on 12. The hard points values will come with A2G.

its not worth conversing with him his account will be banned soon anyway for what happened
