Major Update "Spearhead" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Well Greece opens up opportunities.

But from Israel themselfs? I think they put in an order for the F-15EX, which will be called the F-15IA iirc. This would be a good counterpart for the AESA EFT, but they won’t receive it for a couple more years.

EFT radar isn’t any more crap than most other mechanical radars at top tier, hell I prefer the EFT over all of the US (including the ones on export planes) radars on the F-15s, F-16s and F-18s.

Also Gripens whole thing is ECM adding it before that is the most dumb decision but sounds about right for Sweden air lol. Cant wait for it to be the worst 14.3 lol

Berkut never had a Radar or weapons…Don’t want another Yak -141 debacle…

I can see the devs justifying it now…It was planned and they even made a little model of it so here it is.

Su-35M dosent exist

Su-27M does which is the Su-35 form the 90s, which would more or less be worse or at best a sidegrade to the Su-30SM

high grade copium and the Su-35 will more likely than not come with its direct counterpart the F-15EX

ah maybe you should turn down the copium or whatever you are taking, if anything it might get the r-37m and even that is highly unlikely

Typhoon wont be far behind it fewest missiles and 6 120s as a payload option is weak.

@Smin1080p_WT
Although, With Indonesia going to Japan, just like Thailand.
Why doesn’t Gaijin implement all C&P equipment in one go?
Why does the C&P have to be spread across multiple updates without receiving something domestic/unique for air and ground?

But once we get next gen IR missil3s it will be strong, but you’re forgetting the Gripen will still be worse flight performance wise

while having one of the strongest flight models

Clearly flight performance doesn’t mean anything in top tier

I think as long as the F-15C GE and future Super Hornet exist/will likely be added at 14.3 the Gripen E won’t be the worst jet at that BR.

77M would be more likely as it essentially an Aim120D analogue.
R-37M wouldn’t be great in War Thunder you have too much SA it wont catch modern aircraft off guard and we don’t have DL or map size to really abuse it’s range.

USA just received their AESA jet they wont get an F-15EX at Xmas they might get the additional pylons for the F-15C GE if the jet is not performing how Gaijin expects. Those US air premiums are worth a lot to Gaijin have to keep them sweet.

so why isnt everyone flying the F-15E then if flight performance dosent matters

Never know last time sweden was strong they still had the worst version of their own vehicle lol. Maybe the Viggen in terms of just sweden but that wasn’t long lol

Germany but for air

GE is going to be great, it will be up there with joint 3rd or even 2nd best jet
It will out BVR a Typhoon with it’s payload, far superior Radar
Rafales will be tricky until we see the limits of the Radar can it sit in the notch?
Su-30SM will have a harder time dealing with it.

Genuinely I see it displacing Typhoon in the Meta (as good as Typhoons fm is) the missiles win games and Typhoons Radar and payload are B tier at best.

It’s pretty hard to win a “worst 14.3 jet” contest when the freaking Super Hornet is your opponent lmao.

Hell the F-15C GE might even end up being worse than the Gripen E, but at least that is still a close race.

Depends if we see super hornet and if they dont put it at 14.0

We can’t have IIR missiles because Russia doesn’t have one in service (unless the R-73M) is in service?

I would love an Su-47 or MiG 1.44 with the yak 141 treatmemt honestly.

Not only are they cool they have the added benefit of making certain people unreasonably angry.
