They seem to be talking about the difference between the 82 and mechanical radars, the 63(v)3 is AESA as well.
I’m sure the 82 is better, but will it be such a huge advantage in game that we need a middle step? especially as the F-15E doesn’t have the flight performance of other 4.5 gen aircraft?
I’m not sure where he got 619mm from, KE-W A2s performance according to L-O is 635mm at 10m.
Hey Gaijin.
VBCI’s aps is still not functional.
PzH 2000 HU still has wrong machinegun type on it
All PzHs are missing spall liner and an actual tier 4 HE shell
When will you all finish the last patch ?
Next update. And the next update will be fixed the update after
No, the part I was talking about pretty clearly said they were talking about 63v3 compared to 82v1
I think it’ll be better enough to have a middle step, or at least have the SR as an a2a side grade since it has a MAWS while upgraded E does not. In ground it will be a justified middle step though since 82 is much better optimized for a2g use, and an upgraded E would have acess to very potent weaponry
He was comparing to the 70, they don’t even mention the 63 until later in the interview
Says it’s better than the 63v3, also the processor on the 63v3 is pretty old (as stated in the article) so it makes sense they were able to get that much more out of it
Never said it wasn’t better, but that the difference isn’t big enough that you need an AN/APG-63(v)3 version of the F-15E
It isn’t quite an F-15E though, it has the MAWS, also it’s still slightly worse than an upgraded F-15E in air to air since the F-15E will have AIM-120D-3 and SR would have C-8
Carries harpoons operationally as well, and ofc the IRST which sets it apart too
Just used whatever I saw a little bit earlier in the thread as an example. However my argument is still the same, 635 is still so close in penetration to M829A2 meaning that they would be equivalents in game.
Does this mean 829A2 is underperforming, since shouldn’t it be better than KEW-A2?
General Kenobi! You are a bold one.
It still isn’t needed as none of those things add up to a gap in US capability, the F-15 that you get anyways has a bit better radar, and no MAWS, IRST, or Harpoon.
IDK about MAWS but IRST and Harpoons are available on other jets you get, there isn’t a gap in capability to fill, I’m sure you’ll get a subtree eventually, but you don’t actually need one, not for air anyways
the airframe itself and its advantages, combined with the unique mix of US avionics, make it fill a gap in capability, a small one, but still there
F-15SR aside there is still the F-15SG thatll come through the 428th FS, and the US F-15SA.
very tiny, if it needs filling then there are dozens of gaps in other trees that need it more
and im sure there are other jets which would fill the gaps for those trees
Remember, everything is now a brit subtree tho.
yeah, like the F-15SG for Japan for example
US has technical and operational claim to the SG
