But it’s armament will be insane. Would need missiles stock to be playable though
It’s armament is what will push it above 8.0 then it will die to every super sonic fighter under the sun. Picture something almost 3 times the size of the B-57 with about 6 times the payload and only going about 50kmh faster. It would have to go higher then 8.3 alone and you have F-104s at 9.3 that would love to see the big dorito.
While cool I don’t see it working in WT.
Launch AGM-86 or JASSM’s from runway though
The GROM-1 was removed cause of how broken that was. I don’t see it right or likely the B2 will have those.

Was only broken because it was on a solid airframe. All the B-2 has is cruise missiles and stealth.
I don’t agree with that sentiment but too each their own. Either way I am very confident we won’t see it added next update or anytime this year.

Again, BOL imo useless. If removed i wouldn’t notice a difference. Im used to the 74 CM on the Su-27. Regardless it has more missiles and better flight performance which is why i said it was better. I didn’t say the J10 should be at the same Br as the eft and such but that of the selected 13.7’s i stated above, that the J10 was the best.
We could go ivwr the radar which J10 is better but thats besides the point. 4 aim 120s vs any vehicle with more is a disadvantage. Thats coming from using R77
could you possibly say if the other nations are going to get good counterparts, to USA, USSR, GERMANY etc in the next patch or the next 12 months.
Quite a bit of variation between nations, i believe better more capable AAA weapon systems are being developed for 2025 and submarines, so exciting times, would be nice to know if something else mechanic wise or a mechanic that’s going to give us a WOW factor.
Please give us a rhyme or cryptic clue or yes I’m excited cant wait to see you guys response to this, i want to feel like a 9 year old again, not and old man disappointed at every turn lol
On top of this do you see any improvements coming to war thunder with VR, especially in tanks and ships, planes are usable but not 100%, the main reason I’m asking is due to Aces of thunder being developed, maybe once released these improvements can come to War thunder as well ???

The f15C ingame is more than enough to counter eurofighters or rafales,its agility and acceleration is good .i would agree for f15C late with apg-63v3 when other eurofighter operators get typhoon tranche3
F-15 sole advantage is number of missiles. At least with 63v3 would have radar advantage.
Tranche 3 is counterpart to upgraded F-15E and advanced eagles as well as early-mid F-22
tranche 3 is a counterpart to f15C apg63v3 ,the scan rate and performance of the radars used on both of those is quite similar
i have no problem killing eurofighters ingame with f15c , its easy if u know how to fly the plane
But then what advantage would the F-15C have? Unless it’s a CAPTOR-M T3 it’d be just worse. Pretty sure EFT can take 8 amraams too
I’m going to work on a suggestion for it then. Granted it’s very unlikely we will see it anytime soon with the state bombers are currently in but hopefully when we see a bomber rework and the introduction of modern bombers we could see the B-2 added soon after.
It would be good to have a suggestion for it anyway so that people can discuss the aircraft and it’s possible feature even if we don’t see it for a while.

CAPTOR-M is just Blue Vixen from the Sea Harrier FA2 at hte moment and extremely underpowered.
Typhoon can only carry 6x AMRAAM and in that config you only have 2x IR missiles. Most effecient set up is 4+5
At the moment, F-15C has the radar and AMRAAM quantity advantage, and matches it in both climb rate and top speed. Also, depending on whether or not Typhoon has BOL or CMs (I genuinely dont know) might also have the CM advantage too.
F-15C vs Typhoon is a far smaller gap in performance than F-15C vs Tornado F3, ICE, or even Gripen C is.
F-15E has no such difference and is about as close as you can get with aircraft that have 2 different playstyles.
Just, with the F-15E, you can no longer zerg rush to victory anymore

ok then, fixed CAPTOR-M EFT vs APG-63v3 F-15C. but then you must realize it is also fighting rafale with 8 MICA so it really could use that AESA. in WVR it loses to rafale and EFT, once CAPTOR-M gets fixed itll lose to EFT in BVR
why cant the F-15C be allowed to fully lean into what it was made for, but rafale is allowed to have 2019 version with 2010s AESA?
at the very least, give the C its BOL pods if nothing else
MICA are massively underpowered and whislt the AESA is excellent, the Rafale cant fully exploit its potential.
Then dont fight the Typhoon or Rafale in WVR and stay at BVR where it is equal to the EFT and superior to the Rafale.
Its like Tornado F3 vs F-16 we had for more than a year.
Maybe BOL, but 240 CMs is more than enough

F-15C could get AESA, but it may still be worse than the F-15E at BVR given the weaker engines
and at the end of the day the F-15E is still competitive, just because it’s not the best any more doesn’t mean there’s a problem
even if it was still worse, I still want a proper 2000s F-15C instead of the amalgamation we have ingame. tbh if they fixed the APG-63/70 id be happy but seeing as they probably wont, the AESA is the next best step, with a BR increase to 14.0 of course
what make you think any of the US AESA radars won’t also be broken, honestly, they should focus on fixing the ones already in game instead of adding more that will also likely be broken.
Like I said, moving the F-15C from 13.7 to 14.0 isn’t really a priority, I get that you want the aircraft you play to be the best, but that can’t always be the case, the US has been on top since the introduction of Fox 3s, the F-15E is still fine, just be content being outmatched for once
