Yeah the v2 is AESA, and it’s only on US F-15C.
The slam eagle is getting APG-82v1 (radar of upgraded US E and EX)
Yeah 63v1 is newer

Fair enough, I see some F-15Cs were fitted with 70s before having them replaced with 63(V)1s so could lend some credit to the 63(V)1 being better at least for A2A.
Also did the F-15K have the same ground radar nerf as the F-15I did? does the 63(V)1 even have ground radar modes?
I think they put 63v1 on C for reliability, old M-scan used to be pretty awful in terms of reliability so any upgrade was very useful.
I’m not sure about ground modes, 63v1 took advancement from the APG-70 but I don’t think it has ground modes

March, June, September, Oktober/November and December are when we usually see the majors.
It very much was real, multiple were made, flown, and armed
“just an” its heavily, no, a massively upgraded its performance with ground attack, even adding other stuff like TISEO on it and having a very advanced radar for its time meant for ground targets.
Saying that the Kurnass 2000 is just an F-4E upgrade is like saying that the F-4F ICE is just an F-4E Upgrade. It may as well be an entirely separate aircraft.
you make a good point, why doesn’t the K2K have a ground radar in game?
APG-70 on F-15 in 1979, had ground modes
Kurnass wasn’t as far ahead as you are making it out to be
Should get ground modes though
Wasn’t that also only the leak list? So something we don’t have yet for the next update
(Please, I want to believe they use the last chance we have at getting a Japan focused teaser)
I was using just relatively, compared to an actual domestic aircraft it is “just” an upgrade program, SK does have more domestic aircraft designs that saw service than Israel does, it may only be 1 more but it’s still more
Ya, that’s what I was referring to initially. Until I see it on some leaklist before the update or the teaser trailer, I don’t have much hope. It’s just too iconic to just slip into a dev server without fanfare so if it’s coming, it will make some waves somewhere
No it was an NGAD

I don’t see why they shouldn’t. What happens if the US ends up leasing/selling F-15EX’s to Taiwan? May not be able to avoid a Chinese eagle anyhow.
There’s more advanced Block F-16’s on the way for Taiwan, and Pakistan has block 52 C’s and D’s. So at this point it’s just a question of payload for US based CAS options on the 16 vs giving the Chinese an F-15 somehow, versus Su-30 payloads. Russian based CAS is arguably better so I don’t really see the point here of not doing it, but oh well, lmao.
idk lol
US won’t give Taiwan eagles for the foreseeable future, and Chinas most advanced western aircraft should stay F-16 (later variants in ROCAF service like F-16V as well), no need for 15 or 18

It is possible at some point that ROC get F-35s, they’ve shown interest and been rejected as it’s seen as a risk of them falling into PRC hands but in the future it is still possible
The X-2 was a 5th gen testbed for F-X before it was decided to cancel the 5th gen aircraft in favor of working on 6th gen in time and buying F-35 to bridge the gap.
But that being said, Japans 5th gen project was quite a bit further along than some other stuff we see in game, so that could be something in the future.
Assuming others get similar treatment this might be nice to stop the endless flood of F-35 vs F-35 battles.

That thing looks like F-22 at home and I’m all for it lol

Ripping of the F-15 and F-22 at once, outright fake, absolutely not
That is going to be fun, I believe everyone, but China and Russia will get one with current subtrees and such, also if China do get Singapore, then they’d possibly get one though I don’t think it’s likely it is certainly possible
