I think strengthening bol is the main thing

The thing is what AMBER racks was designet for F-15C 2040C aka Golden Eagle, they was tested on it and all was good. Later they just get rid of Golden Eagle production in favor of the F-15EX which is now flying with the same AMBER rakcs. So basically they simply tested everything on the F-15C GE and then cut production costs by starting to produce and use only the F-15EX.
With dual racks for R-77 we have a bit different situation, it can be mounted on Su-30SM, maybe even on Su-27SM but it was developed only when Su-35S came out. First flight of Su-30SM is 2012 and Su-35 entered service in 2014. Feels like we have even less information about R-77 dual racks other than AMBER racks.
Yeah the CMs are the least of the F-15C "GE"s issues

Will the AH-64E be implemented in the Japanese tree?
Did they use it?
It seems unusable.
CDK fed us well with Tornado ASSTA 3.1
as every official always says, weaponry is 100% a balance decision that happens at the Dev’s choice, this includes unrealistic over and Underrepresentation of certain weapons
I can’t even find his name… for r77
You could very well be right, I was at work when the dev streams were happening.
Either way december is pretty soon so I’m happy about it regardless, also gives me a little more time to finish up the J-10 line.
Oh yeah it’s mostly just nice to have.
I’m just looking for something(s) to give the F-15C GE to make it more of a 14.3 jet, as it currently feels very much like a 14.0 jet pushed up to 14.3 so that Gaijin can pretend that the US has a 14.3 jet.
BOL is the lowest entry bar thing they could give the F-15C GE as the rails are already modeled and it will help the F-15C while not having a big negative effect on overall balance.

So Rafale, Su-30SM, EF2K and Su-35 in the next update is in balance, especially the Su-35 with 14500kgs on 1 engine, thrust vetoring and 14 missiles and F-15C with 16 missiles which is only 2 more compare to Russian bias is extremly unbalanced and will broke the game? People already ask for atleast 12 missiles what is not even historically accurate
I would say what F-15C in that case will only match 14.3 if they give him everything but AMBER racks. EPAWSS - 360° RWR and MAW without blind spots which is also give him +120 internal countermesures will be especially good, LEGION pod will also be nice cause it gives F-15C IRST, and its also not this hard to make in game cause its will work like: You take it - you have IRST radar mode like on EF2K for example. BOL is nice but it will not solve the problem, 240 countermesures (360 with EPAWSS) is already enough

Then it will come in a Dev Server update- remember that the first openings of the dev are always quite barebones!

Honestly, implementing the F-16C PoBiT instead of the F-15C GE might have been better for 14.3 lol
If they implement the F-15C GE as-is, it’ll definitely be the weakest version of 14.3. Maybe I was foolish to have expected otherwise :(
IRST systems are hard coded into the radar of the plane. If it gained the legion pod it wouldn’t be optional. That’s not a functionality currently supported in game. The german EFT uses a different radar file than the British & Italian one for that reason.
That’s too bad, could be changed though if they bothered. I mean the IRST was one of the key features of the golden eagle
Su-35S in the next update? Where do you know that from? Especially at 14.3 lol it’s a direct upgrade from the Su-30SM in every aspect
Snails monolithic spaghetti code strikes again… No modularity at all…
Also explains the extremly bad maintainability and the frequent introduction of bugs and regressions.
It wouldn’t, It would Just be a worse su27SM
Analogue to the J11A, which Is also worse than the 27SM

Yeah and J-11A is going to 13.3 which is great
