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

just check the stats for the f18e on statshark, its the only plane at its br with a negative kd last i checked

I think you both are missing the point that it would still be largely better than this obscure F16 variant.

Is there even any proof that the EX does carry more than 12 AIM-120? Being able to carry more doesn’t mean that it ever did carry more.

I wasn’t arguing that to begin with

well you missed where i said the f18 is a bad platform


put mrml on one of the wing pylons and its 16

Lets face it though .They could add F-15EX with every possible feature, Aim-120D3s and AIm-9X, etc etc and I still think there would be people complaining about the Typhoon and Rafale being “Too OP”

I fly high in mine. It’s about maintaining your position when you can.

then let them complain i couldnt care less, id be overjoyed to finally have the ex in game

im aware a ton of american mains are garbage, nothing is gonna fix that, at least give the decent players something to fight top tiers with

Yes, Legion pod can be equipped on PoBIT F-16Cs and export F-16Vs

It’s a different pod to the F/A-18E/F’s AN/ASG-34, but uses the same Lockheed IRST-21 system

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?
