Oh right, I need to be obsessed with this type of plane stuff and just ‘know’.
TWS - Track while scan: allows you to ‘soft-lock’ targets to slave missile seekers to. Also allows to guide ARH missiles without hard locking a target and setting off the RWR
HMS - Helmet Mounted Sight: A system which allows the user to slave radar and missile seeker to pilot’s head movement. In game it just means you can aim where you look instead of pointing the nose at the target.
ARH - Active Radar Homing: A type of radar guidance where there is a seeker on the payload as well and can guide itself autonomously without the radar return from the mothership
hope this helps

Not. you just should say “I don’t understand what is it, can you explain”
But you started to argue to one guy then to another then to gaijin
If you really want to know difference you should just normally ask. Sorry for my angry
Thank you for help

F-15JM changes:
New engines.
New radar.
New weapons.
New systems.
New helmet system.
And likely other changes that I can’t think of at this time.
Best we have is vague statements saying it hits targets at a higher rate than AIM-120B if I remember correctly.
Though there is a bank to turn Sparrow design that went with a similar control setup to the AAM-4 with rear fins that would pull 100G. As a non BTT missile that would mean ~70G.
While I’d say its safe to say that a testbed for BTT maneuverability would be more agile than a service missile meant to perform well at range I still doubt that AAM-4 would do less than half of that.
I’ve also seen it be theorized to be a BTT missile itself based on the warhead setup needing it to at least have the ability to roll, but nothing mpre concrete on that.
But no matter how lacking information is, I am more than certain 32G is incorrect.

In fact, I found a public technical document for AAM4B that describes the effective range in pictures, probably different from AAM4A.

The J/APQ-1 MAWS on the tail and J/APR-4B RWR though Gaijin forgot about both when adding it and the reports were denied.

Its from an AAM-4B doc, however completely useless as its 1. censored and 2. not related the base AAM-4 we got now.
Which is unfortunate as the 4B is just a 4 with a AESA seeker but guess that enough to not be valid though
AAM-4B also has increased range over base AAM-4, its unkown how this was realized. Eitherway, the doc is censored and as such useless in this context.

The problem isn’t that I don’t understand, the problem is that the game completely fails to explain this, which is why I don’t understand.
Having to preview a vehicle and then open the x-ray and then to hover over the radar, and then do the same for the other F-15 and find the differences, and then somehow having to know what the radar band means, what look-down is and then half a dozen abbreviations that are not explained anywhere.
Instead having to browse the internet for community made guides and videos to find the most basic information.
So when presented with a copy paste looking vehicle which only has an unexplained (M) on it, I don’t know what the difference is beyond the only thing that is actually shown which are the weapons.
Not entirely useless
In case anyone haven’t noticed yet but the F-15J now have AN/APG-63 PSP radar.
Edit: Was just in-game and seems like there been no change other then that it shows it has TWS but either its broken or something but it is still the same radar it had before the update as there was no change.
There is mistake. It is not TWS but RAM
Gotcha, was confused as to why it showed TWS, but still weird as it seems like there’s been no change at all in-game if i understood it correctly.
I hope gajin rename radar AN/APG-63 → AN/APG-63 PSP for third major update (september)
But actually F-15J never used AN/APG-63 PSP radar like F-15A & F-15C Eagle (USAF) and F-15C Baz Meshupar (IAF)
I like it but im sad we still didnt get a buyable aggressor skin with so many to choose frome

Yea I saw, it’s alright but I like spaz said, I’d love some kind of aggressor skin. Personally, some kind of blue skin that’s not crazy with emblems and writing so I can put my own on there.
