F-15SA exists and was what i was getting at, thats from 2013. i mean F-15EX is literally the absolute newest one too.

thats still a sweep for the EFT lol

8594

could compete wont be great like how the tornado could compete vs F-16Cs

8595

well assuming they arent adding new ARH theyll do just fine, even if they do itll be 120C on 120C

8596

oh no if its meant to be 2013 we should have the weapons of that era ASRAAM and Meteors vs AIM-9X blk2 (worse) and AIM-120D (worse)

8597

i said 2013 bc Morvran though advanced eagle series started with the F-15EX in 2024. and Meteor only flew on Typhoons in 2018.

afaik the F-15SA never tested 120D’s and idk if it used 9x blk2

8598

I would put the advanced eagles as direct Eurofighter and Rafale contemporaries.

So. F-15E performs well against the Typhoon arleady, but you need an even more powerful platform, with 12x AMRAAM?

The balance would be F-15SA with Aim-120Bs vs Typhoon with Aim-120C5s given the Typhoon carries half the number of AMRAAMs.

I mean if broachers can get certain russian things added then trenche 4 EFT should have the ability to carry 14 Meteors

8601

This is true

8602

F-15 CFT AMBER racks and quad AMRAAM racks are about as real as the dual R-77 racks lol. and since they gave dual R-77 to planes that never used them, i dont see why the extra racks could come to EFT and F-15

oh how interesting and the AIM-120D wasnt finished until 2014 meaning both would have AIM-120C5s

8604

8605

8607

Had anyone suggest soviet GBU named “SB-1M or KAB-436” yet? I think it’s pretty interesting to see in game

I see fair I still think 9/10 times goes to the EFT just because of ASRAAM assuming its modelled at all like it is IRL

8609

no idea hope not

i mean there are spectral flares and BOL pods for F-15’s, IIR is very lethal dont get me wrong but at the ranges ASRAAM is you will have time to react, especially with a modern MAWS like on the F-15SA
