Gaijin made me buy the Iron Duke just so I’ll can have the British tree to be named the British Empire.

F-15C Golden Eagle is a perfectly fine addition, they just need to make a couple changes and fixes
Then they would’ve needed to add su35 in the same patch

I think the f15sa is a perfect choice, it doesn’t need the apg82 and 16 missiles, but the 8 missiles of the golden eagle are obviously not enough
Im also happy they didn’t skip to literally the newest F-15 in existence
Let me know if you are going to write a report, i will press “i have the same issue” lol :)
I’ll get it sorted and posted tomorrow, now, in my time zone, it’s time for me to go to bed :）

not at 14.3, imo more 14.0 material even if it gets the spherical epawss and BOL

Would you say 14.3 with that and fixed 120C?
ngl i got no idea how a “fixed” aim-120c5 would look like, we don’t have hud footage like we do for the r-77-1 from where we could extrapolate stuff like min/max ranges and stuff like that.
All those usaf brochures for aim-120c5 just say super vague stuff like “improved kinematics”.
If a fixed aim-120c5 meant more pull while also having that pull earlier, yes, i would say thats 14.3 material.
Much better seeker and actually behaving like the straight upgrade over the 120A it is

The problem would be that The EFT would get the same 120C buffs, so in essence the EFT will still be better than the F-15C by the same margin.
120C might help make it more balanced when compared to the Su-30SM though, and well the Rafale will still do Rafale things so nothing will change against that.
I’d argue that it getting it’s other features + 120C buff would actually put it in a better place against the EFT since it could take more advantage from its superior avionics for long range
It would for sure help vs. 30SM like you said but imo it would also put it in a better place against the Rafale

what would make it better at range? besides the radar which it already has lol
First of all, some adjustments to the radar, I know it isn’t F-15 specific.
Second, LEGION pod and radar cueing
LEGION would only help vs the german EFT, the British and Italian ones have PIRATE which also currently underperforming and from what we know should allow the firing of AMRAAMS (not super effectively as it would be just fly to where it think it would be)
LEGION is a lot more modern than PIRATE
unless it can accurately fire AMRAAMs and some how DL them it wont add much the US lack a long range IR missile for it to guide (when we get ASRAAM the EFT is gonna be wild)
Legion pod uses IRST21 sensor which is not new
