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

it doesnt have enough cm or speed to dodge 100 missiles effectively in my experience, its doable but not fun

You very likely are getting something

The F-15C GE is probably getting AIM-120Ds

Are those training AIM-120 (blue bands)? If there isn’t confirmation regarding actual live weapons then gaijing will disregard that. They have previously rejected bug reports showing pictures with training ordnance.

probably, but its likely not gonna change much, the ge isnt a very fast plane, especially not compared to 14.7s

aside from the su30, but the su30 is a different case

Nothing does. If you have too many missiles launched at you, you’re pretty much dead in anything. best you can do is try and keep your position and fight people who come to you.

I thought you just wanted something to fight
The F-15C GE could be that something

im constantly getting spammed when doing bvr and im never killed while evading in the f15e, i cant even remember the last time i died doing bvr

Can you mount the HTS, TGP and IRST21 all together?

its just sub par in every area that matters which is the problem

Idk, i dont have that experience.

120ds most likely wont save the ge, before the 12 missile loadout and bol it was just a slightly better f15c, now its a slightly better than that

Everything has some downsides

well yea bvr is impossible with the f18e currently, mainly since they spawn you at snail speed

whats the sm2’s downside

I disagree wholeheartedly and think you need bvr to stay alive in the hornet.

it climbs about as fast as the f15c and it also spawns much faster

You can do TGP + LEGION with the miniaturised version called LEGION-ES.

It sits on the pylon used for HTS.

I can’t find anything real life images but a contract has been awarded for it to be fitted to Taiwan’s F-16V’s but should still be able to work with the PoBIT.

your just using the wrong tactic…

any plane can do bvr. i can even do bvr in a f4 kws.

eh ive never had a good experience trying to bvr w the thing, its best to just hide off to the side or stay low then snake people
