there were 2 others with F-15’s, not like it was only US dominating
I never said it was necessarily US only, though Id argue the other 2 nations only got F-15s because the US got the F-15.
Israel would have been fine with the F-16 just like the US and Japan should have gotten the F-2 anyway
Yeah the F-15E would’ve been completely fine it it weren’t for the 229s.

F-14D still waiting in corner

Even that would have been a more sensible addition that the F-15C was

maybe an F-15A with AMRAAM couldve worked instead of a C

Even then, Im not sure why the US needed anything stronger than the F-16C. 2+4 was fairly average except for the much weaker aircraft like the ICE and F3 which had 4+4
F/A-18A+ maybe? I don’t know if those could carry the 10 AMRAAM loadout, but if they could just limit it tbh.
Hahah, I don’t know if they have some sort of accord with Gaijin… but it’s undeniable that they have become a part of the “hype machine”.
Which, in my opinion, is a shame :(
In the past, leakers were sources of information for those of us who just wanted to be as best documented as possible as early as possible. Now they have become practically dev blogs 2.0.
Not trashing on them though, I still appreciate that they still provide some information earlier than it would officially be unveiled, but there’s been a big downgrade in their approach, in my opinion.
i mean F-15C was the main air superiority fighter of the last years of Cold War, it made sense to add especially since it was meant for AMRAAMs from the 80’s MSIP II upgrade
and?
What relevance does that have on when aircraft should be added?
it makes sense to add AMRAAM on an F-15? not adding AMRAAM F-15C in ARH update is like adding F-14D without AIM-54
or like adding the Tornado IDS without CBUs. Oh wait hang on a second…
whole different class of weapon not in game. im sure tornadoes will get them in the update that brings CBU’s.
The point is.
Gaijin added the F-15C to the US. Instead of a more reasonable option like the AV-8B+ and/or just leaving them with the F-16C.
This forced Gaijins hand. From that moment, the Typhoon and Rafale were innevitable, there was no alternative, there was no other option, those aircraft were coming. F-15E with the up-rated engines sealed the deal.
According to US mains prior to the F-15C being added. the Typhoon and F-15C MSIP II should have come in the same major update. So, its not even my words, its the US mains making that claim.
And now you have US mains complaing about the Typhoon and Rafale, and wanting aircraft like the F-22, is rather funny

eh, it was the last teen series it shouldve been added last.
the US got AV-8B+ that update though, instead of at same time as Italy like it shouldve been
also, the F-22 is the closer contemporary of the Typhoon no matter what
Thought it was the update after, my bad but anyway. Did they really need the F-15C and AV-8B+ in the same update.
Not according to US mains. it was F-15C MSIP II, Then it was the F-15E, then it was the F-18E and now its the F-22.
