Spoiler alert: exactly like the AIM-120C-5 but this time it’ll annoy people blaring their RWR for almost 3 mins

Because the triple racks haven’t been seen IRL, or in any simulator. It’s only been seen in some promotional renders and as a patent but nothing real has actually turned up.
Although I don’t agree with the Flankers getting the double belly racks from the Su-35 they are more real and are technically compatible (according to Gaijin) which is enough for them to be added.
Tornado GR4 will be the better option anyway over the EF3
up to 9x ALARM depending on what else you want to equip but you can always have 2 without issue. Its pretty awesome actually. Would give a reason to ever actually equip the GR4 in GRB.
Quite alarming.

They have yet to actually arrive onto live, there is yet time for Gaijin to make a change. The biggest issue is that they are too easy to defeat when fired at any kind of range. If they are made difficult to notch, the F-15C GE could become a very potent and annoying target to fight
Indeed
considering the su30s counterpart was the legacy hornet the su30 was better in almost everything and they still decided to give it more missile with very minimal proof of it being realistic
Oh… it looks like my position is a bit crowded. I plan to use the F/A-18F, which has good maneuverability and can handle multiple tasks. I can’t get the Tornado GR4 for now lol. I plan to leave the other spots for the IFV version of Ajax and other interesting vehicles.

I hope European fighter jets can get ARMs, otherwise we’ll have to use Super Hornets for SEAD. Since they both have BVR capabilities, I think it would be much more convenient.
Is there actually any concidderation for “Suggestions” like this?

And I’m looking forward to seeing SLAM-ER in CDK on these two hard points of the super Hornets tomorrow night :D

Britain at least should look something like:
ALARM:
- Tornado GR1
- Tornado GR4
- Tornado EF3 (we’ll see if/how they add this)
and then maybe also on the Harrier Gr7, Jaguar and Typhoon. (Gaijin discretion unfortunately)
AR Martel:
- Buc S2B
- Tornado GR1
- Harrier GR1
- Maybe Jaguar? (used on the French ones I think)
Germany I think is mostly on the Tornados, though if the FGR4 gets ALARM, they all probably will, they could also get AGM-88E on the Typhoon as they are planned, but they are less likely than ALARM at the moment
No idea about France, Sweden or Italy. Though Italy at least would probably have AGM-88 on the Tornado
Pretty much the same as my thoughts, still hoping that gaijin can bring them in faster.
If its not this major update, its got to be next.
According to the web information, Italy’s RET8 has this capability. However, the IDS series has relatively poor air combat performance and cannot use BVR missiles like the UK’s F.3

If the EF3 is running ALARM, it wouldnt be running Skyflash STs.
They are mounted on the belly only I think

Oh, this is bad. I don’t know if AMRAAM and ALARM can be carried at the same time. It looks like the central hardpoint is a bit crowded. I’m starting to worry.
Edit
It looks like there are empty slots in the first two AMRAAMs?
Then… let’s fire all the ALRAMs first, so that the AMRAAMs can pop out downward and launch hahahahahahahaha
(It looks a bit crazy)
Which is why the GR1/GR4 is probably better than the EF3, slower, but can simply carry more without much issue.
The question though, and I dont know the answer, is if th EF.3 can carry ALARM in all the same places as the GR1/GR4. In which case you could just run them on the wings in place of the Aim-9s and tanks but keep the Skyflash STs / AMRAAM (I would assume that if the EF.3 is modeled in anyway, it would probably be on the 12.0 F3 not the F3 Late)
So would be 6x ALARM and 4x SARH/ARH, but I doubt it at the moment
It would be great if it could be mounted under the wing; I think I will keep the AMRAAM on the belly.
