F-15 is capable of carrying AMBER and quad racks
Interesting, though gaijin added the dual racks on the flankers as a buff as well as increasing the HMD range up to 20km from original 10, because of their poor performance at that time.
I don’t think the F15 currently is in such a desperate situation to having to equip, what like 16 amraams to compensate?
If they get thrust vectoring, I want missile truck
To be honest, I think F-15E with 16x AMRAAM would be more of a nerf than a buff, at least early game, you would have so much drag and weight that the main advantage it currently holds would be totally lost.
I think it can take 18 bc AMBER rack on middle hardpoint
In either case, even if I could carry that many, or perhaps the better example for me would be the mockup of a Typhoon with 14x Meteors. I think the sheer loss in performance would probably not be worth it.
Its probably why it doesnt seem anyone runs AMRAAM/Meteor on the inner pylons of the Typhoon, heck, the TMC for carrying 2x ASRAAM/IRIST-T seem rarely used in most images Ive seen.
The extra drag for hauling a large number of missiles can be both a blessing and weakness.
I think 12 would be a sweet spot between extra payload and maintaining performance

It probably would be for now.
Though whether the F-15E even needs that buff is of debate.
I think the Priority needs to be on a TWS+ overhaul to finally get M-Scan radars into a good place

They could for the funnys
See? This man gets it
If we’re going there
Maybe on 15C with AESA? and then also on a later strike eagle
You’re definitely new around here, ain’t it?
Js wait for the new gen helicarriers with AIM-120Z’s equipped with 200 megaton warheads
Let’s say that if Gaijin is looking out for upgrades from the already sweet-placed Su-30, even the Tranche 3A w/double pylons should comfortably join the discussion/table, along a later Strike Eagle and further variants of existing platforms for other nations.
As long as the current RB/SB statu quo exists, quantity is as relevant as quality at top tier.
Id spawn this instead of a nuke, swarm of AI control CAS as deadly as naval bots.
