Major Update "Seek & Destroy" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 4)

[Dontkev]

its only 11.7 in ground

[someweirdname]

that’s still top tier ground with 10.3 ground ordenance

[themadseventeen]

What? What Phantom? Nerfed?

[Dontkev]

yea, but you wont have to face the 13.0 jets^^

@Smin1080p

We haven’t had any reports on a missing triple rack for the F-4F.

Ye? But just do it. Didn’t stop y’all from giving SAF’s Gripen air-2-air equipment (pretty sure air-2-ground as well) it never had irl, simply cause it wouldn’t have been able to perform without all that )))

[someweirdname]

that’s not gonna help me a lot against pantsir and Tor

[Jεcka]

Idk, having a lot of thermal guided MAVs is certainly a step up over just 2 non-thermal ones imo.

[someweirdname]

not directly, but increasing the efficiency of what jt faces also indirectly nerfs it

[dotSHINI]

its a step above lgbs i would say as well

A loadout of 8 AMRAAMs is being introduced for the F-15C. The aircraft was simply not fully configured yet.

quick Q, is the same being applied to the F-15JM & it’s AAM-4s? no idea if it’s to manuals, but just curious what the devs are thinking

[themadseventeen]

What Phantom faces F-15C at 13.0?

nvm it’s the german doa pos.

[Mytho-GR1]

one isa giving a plane a plane a fictional loadout for balance and the other is to fighter getting 4 more mavs

[Jεcka]

What?

[MXY7_Ohka_when]

AAM-4s are 60kg heavier, they can’t be carried on the wings, although 4 AAM-4s and 4 AIM-120s might work

The F-15J(M) can’t carry AAM-4 on the wing hardpoints. However Japan had both AIM-120Bs and LAU-128 rails for their F-15s, so an 8 AMRAAM or possibly 4 AMRAAM and 4AAM-4 loadout might be possible.

This was also passed as suggestion, so we’ll have to see what they do

@_Woe

@Smin1080p there have been many questions about the ARH loadout of the F-15C

Why has there been no response? I believe there is overwhelming evidence the F-15C can carry and use more than 4 ARH missiles.

It seems it is an issue of balance or the devs are working to implement it. In either case why can we not get a statement from a CM about the status of it?

Hey.

The devs are still working through many feedback items for the dev server and many things are still being introduced as it updates.

A loadout of 8 AMRAAMs is being introduced for the F-15C. The aircraft was simply not fully configured yet.

Oh yeah good idea 🙏 👍

@Smin1080p

Where’s ARM’s, Rafale, F-18, Su-30, Aim-9X??!
We tired of clones, give us something new please.

Not anytime soon

@FurinaBestArchon

France never used (more like, couldn’t use) HOT-3s on their Tigers.

Proven capability

@FurinaBestArchon

SAF never used 9Ms or SkyFlash missiles on their Gripens

Still proven capability for AIM-9M but Skyflash is bs

@FurinaBestArchon

Italy never used DM53 on their Arietes

Proven capability again and also balance decision so they could stay at least reasonably comparable with competition

---

And now we’re back to F-4F KWS LV. Can you prove that it could or carried/used triple racks?

Also take into account that F-4F is not the same as US F-4E since initially it lacked proper weapon computer. That came later with Peace Rhine upgrade and stayed untouched for air-to-ground weapons since then.

ETA is about autunum or winter 24/25. But they should add it in thist update because new missiles without new jets is stupid.
