so yeah, doesn’t offer much diversity with the platforms if it was added to the US compared to the F-15EX.

Would just be a worse EX as it doesn’t get EPAWS

so yeah

Type 03 is REALLY bad…

Incapable of engaging anything <8km at all; and still struggles even past range.

It can’t even hit the test range’s targets!

Only know aircraft that can use the I-Derby ER are the F-16C/D Block 30 Barak Is which tested them, but gaijin would likely allow the Block 40 Barak IIs too as well. The Sufa and Ra’am would be exempt from getting them. As for the Python 4/5, they’ll come along when every other nations gets their contemporaries, I really doubt Israel will get that ahead of time but here’s to hoping

Well the extra 2 hard points are part of the platform.

No it isn’t, they have the extra 2 wing stations and FBW

Will the premium Mig-29 Sniper get its r-73s or will only the Russian 12.7 Mig-29 get them?

wait so is 15sg 15sa derived or 15e derived

Hmm haven’t heard of the Abbot until now, interesting

At the moment, no, this is not planned as the R-73 comes with a BR increase to 13.0.

A new 9-12 is being added in the Soviet tree without R-73 to take the place of the 9-13 at 12.7.

15E derived, it predates the SA

Of course not, Germany has a 13.0 fulcrum already

Well actually no Israeli f-16s can use Fox-3 except the sufa, but we already have derby on Barak so like who cares and python 4 would be fine rn

ok?
what does that have to do with my response to him?

SG leads into SA

i consider anything after the Original F-15E production run to be part of the advanced eagle

like i said it even has the MAWS mounts

SG has more in commom with the later eagles then the earlier

Hopefully less than 24 hours left until dev-server tomorrow.

I’m starting to think those bumps are for DEWS (later EPAWSS) and MAW is an option that started with the F-15SA, since I have never heard of MAWS being put there before the F-15SA.

Kind of like the F-16 PIDS pylon variants.

Only issue is that pictures of EPAWSS upgraded F-15E’s don’t have those bumps

@warthogboy09 do you know why the F-15SG has the bumps even though it doesn’t have MAWS and was made before they put MAWS on F-15’s?

He’s spot on, he repeated BVVD’s words xdd
When they talk about weak or strong nations, they are always talking about the majors; the minors don’t even come into it.
