So, now the US has a top tier aircraft with 10x AMRAAM.
The Typhoon needs to be buffed. We only have 6x AMRAAM and a weaker radar. Time to give the Typhoon ASRAAM and Aim-120C5s so that it can compete along with CAPTOR-E
It’s just that, unfortunately, we’ve got nothing to discuss.
In the past, the goal of leaks was to provide as much information as possible, as early as possible;
However, for the several last updates, leaks appear to have become a mere extension of official dev blogs; they start practically on par with the dev blog season in tiny and censored bits, and we only get the actual lists just shortly before the dev server starts anyway.
So… it isn’t what it used to be, hahah. I don’t know what made leakers change their modus operandi, but I miss the good old times where leaks would practically reveal major updates a full month before their release xD.

15 F-15’s is if they get really specific with the variants which I doubt. realisitically it would only be like 10 or so
That’s because in the past we had leftovers from previous leaks that were controversial (and still are).
Nor do we have games needed failed that we don’t know what will fill it because the domestic vehicle was denied
And as pointed out leaks now show up as soon as the dev starts, and fake leaks get shut down within and hour.
So we have nothing to talk/argue about.
nothing wrong with the strike eagle, it was the F-15I that started the whole 229 engine thing

What i imagine
and a signed piece of paper :)
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.
