I hope they give the F-15 intakes a animation

They gave every intake animations so far, I think they’ll be continuing.
F-111’s is among the coolest in WT.
You also have F-14, Mig-29…
I am curious how many jets have moving components able to be seen, cause I’d love to look at more.

Well, F-15 is here. I am not an expert, but I believe it was an F-15A (MSIP?) in the trailer based off the feathered engines and countermeasures?
As I understand it there isn’t a great deal of difference between an A MSIP model and the early C/J model. I hope we aren’t forgotten this patch and have a repeat F-16AJ and get the F-15 after everyone else.

Yeah if it’s a A MSIP then really no reason to not see a pre-msip F-15J

It’s likely a C.
There’s no reason to add A.
Yea my big fear is they just forget about it for Japan because it’d have a different model than the F-15A the US and maybe Israel uses.
However they did give the MLU for China first and the ADF after so there could be both F-15A and C in the update.

No C models have the feathered engines like that.
And since there is (so far) no ARH this patch, an F-15A MSIP is the logical progression. They will probably save the later C models for whenever ARHs are added.

I’m also curious if we get 9Ms with US or just 9L (maybe AAM-3).
Engines are identical.
That shroud is removable, a lot of F-15s had them removed, but they don’t have to be removed.
F-15C with them is just as accurate without them.
That’s my hope too, especially since the MSIP A and early J models would be very similar. Nothing really for US players to complain about.
I imagine and hope that its a balancing thing and they will give out 9Ms for compatible airframes. As much as I’d love AAM-3, its probably still too strong for the game.

Yea, I just hope it’s something to set it apart from the F-16AJ. I suppose you could argue more SARH missiles and a better radar but since it IS an air superiority fighter, I’d hope it has all the best A2A goodies.
maybe they might do what they did with Israel and give AIM-9Ms anyway, though i prefer AAM-3s of course but so far no indication they are being worked on or assuming we get F-15J early it will just come with 9Ls.

Yea we’ll see, hopefully soon. I did not expect a trailer to drop on a Wednesday. I was going to get work done, but I guess it’s time to procrastinate…
uhh yeah… i didn’t expect the teaser at this time caught me off guard lol
I see 2 scenarios happening this update and Japan loses in both of them.
- Gaijin doesn’t add the F-15J because they are too lazy to make a 2nd model, so only US and Israel get theirs.
- Gaijin adds the F-15J and we get like 5 months of endless bitching from US mains how Japan gets a better plan based on the C even though an F-15J would be functionally identical to an MSIP J.
I would absolutely prefer scenario 2 because we at least get the F-15J, but we are almost 5 years on from the T-2 being added and I still people whining about how “Japan was OP too” Even though the T-2 was only broken on very specific Pacific maps that Gaijin forgot to remove from top tier gave Japan airspawn against air field US.

1- F-15J is identical to F-15C to my knowledge in modeling.

i mean yeah both the A MSIP and F-15J pre-msip would be almost identical gameplay wise i believe same radar too APG-63. hopefully scenario 2 comes true but i think due to how similar they would be most would be fine with it.
we can see it like this the F-15A MSIP is what the F-15J pre-msip is to japan then in another update they will add MSIP F-15C and MSIP F-15J.
