Gaijin will give it flares regardless of if it had them or not for purely balance reasons. They did it to the Italian F-104S and the YaK-141 so you can be sure they will do it to the F-15A
Then again they could just skip all the way to the F-15C since thats what they seem to want to do now that we have a block 50 F-16C coming…
What’s different is that today, for Russian prices, all the other packs went up too, whether they went up in rank or not. They definitely didn’t advertise that. (“…the cost of ALL premium bundles in rubles will be revised to bring them to uniformity”…)
Maybe… I still think it would fair a hell of lot a better than the F3 with the exact same weapon systems. But by the fact the FRS1 isn’t finished yet, i think its proof the FA2 is being worked on and they’ll finish them together
I don’t think it will because compared to everything else you’ll be slow not particularly agile. You’ll just have to loiter around and pounce on people who aren’t aware.
Honestly, with Gaijin finally conceeding that UK needs to be Commonwealth, you’ve got the option of Canada, Australia, South African, British, as well as Jordan and India making their roots in UK now too.
If we go with GB → Eurofighter DA.2, Sea Harrier FA.2, BAe Hawk (maybe), Alpha Jet (RAF acquired 20), Tornado CSP, Eurofighter 2000, Jaguar GR3A.
If we go with Canada → CF-18
If we go with Australia → F/A-18
If we go with South African → Atlas Cheetah, SAAB Gripen C
if we go with Jordinian → F-16As
If we go with Indian → HAL Tejas, Mirage 2000-5 MK2, MiG-29UPG
There’s a selection here. Some are garbage and i’d hate (MiG-29), but most i’d be fine with.
