I like to post them then put them in the suggestion box
So it does partially work or is it just for looks right now?
Also it looks like they’re basing it off this plane?
Spoiler
I hope they add it for both sides anyway tho…
Friend shot a aim 9m at me from ~3km and nothing came up so I assume its for show.
Good catch, seems like you are right but are the other F-15MJ like this too? If not maybe its better to model it after the average F-15MJ.
Plenty have been made

I guess they think it would be too strong if it had a MAWS so haven’t modeled it for top tier planes. I know F-111 has one but it’s more of a bomber.
Honestly I don’t know, otherwise I’d bug report it myself to suggest, but I think they did this because it’s easier to copy paste from the F-15C for US? Worth a shot I suppose.

haha i think its more of a WIP than anything, J11A and F15C are also missing MAWS. I doubt its ill intent, at least for now

Ah, then it’s probably a placeholder we hope.
while browsing through warthunder issues, I came upon this bug report Community Bug Reporting System
What concerns me is that the AAM-4 will go the way of the type 93, being left behind with the old model and stats, while the newer models of other missiles surpass it
What sort of sources are available that can be used to support the AAM-4 to be at least equal to the other missiles
I was wondering that myself. I’d imagine whatever the AIM-120s get, by default, the AAM-4 should get, but I have no sources or information.
This sheet has the datamined info of the current ARHs, looks like the AIM-120C-5 was added at some point.
“slightly better aim-120” its exactly the same but 5g better G load lol
It is currently better in a few aspects as it performs like the AIM-120C-5:
Much better overall Total ΔV: [m/s]
AIM-120A - 869
AAM4 - 926.8
Better Maximum fin angle of attack: [degrees]
AIM-120A - 33.2
AAM4 - 36
Higher Max G-load
AIM-120A - 35g
AAM4 - 40gs
All missiles bar the R-77-1 and AIM-54s currently have the same max flight range of up to 80kms.
No one noticed? The new F15J in the game not only has a darker paint color, it also has a darker radome, which is unnatural.You can find many different colors of F15J radomes, but none of them are as black as the ones in the game.Also, I don’t think muzzle carbon is a good idea, it doesn’t do anything to enhance the look, it looks more like it’s been burned than gunpowder residue.
Black radome↑
White or light gray radome↑

Yea it looks strange. I did put in a suggestion to remove the squadron emblem from default paint or provide an alternative that’s plain for GE.
I found pictures of the actual plane they referenced and it’s not that dark either. I feel like waiting for the next dev server update till we at least have a cockpit.
I do hope this time we get good GE skin options unlike last time where we had to wait for marketplace ones.

Sorry, I’m an outsider to photography, but I know that photographers can adjust the parameters to get different color effects, which may explain gaijin’s choice of photos to make F15J Kai so dark, but it doesn’t mean that it’s the real color.

Wouldn’t say its fair to judge my response from the very limited information we had before dev server :P
It still acts very similarly to how aim120a does, it also likes to wiggle around a bit and loses energy very quickly. Hard to get any kill >10km at any speed or altitude. It still needs a lot of work and the numbers still seem very off what they should be.
Does anyone have sources regarding the weight of the upcoming F-15J “Kai”?
