Amber racks are feasible but have not been integrated on the EX, essentially
Which is what I was thinking.
That line hadnt been officially crossed yet
Though gunna be interesting where they draw the line. If “on aircraft” is enough or whether intergration is required. Typhoon is the same with ALARM
QA (you can tell by the paint and Qatar roundel), but other than that it’s externally identical to the SA
Yeah, one or the other. I dont recall. Too many F-15 Variants anyway :P
I think there’s 4 more on the way unless Indonesia isn’t getting them anymore
Yeah and it likely won’t. 12 AMRAAM/AIM-260 is already a crazy good load, and the amber racks add a lot of drag for no real benefit

Yeah, that drag would seem insane. Might as well just take the F-18E
Ok it still wouldn’t be super hornet bad. I’m willing to bet it could still break mach 1.01 on the deck/1.6 at alt loaded 🤦♂️

Id take a loaded up F-15 over a similarly loaded Super Hornet any day

Gaijin please, add the super hornet already. It can barely handle what’s in the game rn, don’t wait for 5th gen to come before adding it. 🥀
It’s more that that level of magazine depth is pretty unnecessary.
A theoretical 22 missiles on a single aircraft is unlikely to ever be necessary, and the only place it would have been needed for, dealing with drone/cruise missile swarm, has now had its role overtaken by APKWS. And the APKWS has the benefit of 42 rockets costing less than a single aim-120/260 while having an even deeper magazine.
I’d pick the 5th line for the reasons I stated, but obviously both are fine and it’s just a matter of opinion. The only difference would be that the F-15EX would require the F-15E if placed in 5th line and not if placed in 2nd line, but otherwise it’s all the same.
Anyway I’d bet on 5th line knowing Gaijin
I agree with you knowing gaijin they will put the 15EX behind the 15E, because it is the 15EX and with the E in the name it is clearly the successor of the f15e

Now the only remaining question, is where did they find the info for the tail+body number designs; because i’ve only found them on a custom DCS paintjob mod
hey uhm don’t want to get personal or sth but where and when did this SECRET UK EYES marked document get declassified?
U cluld ask the the same for the german eft number, the answer is just, they sidnt research all to deep / or it never mattered to begin with.
Sure the number that never had pirate would have been more fitting but ehhh
I already asked gunjob
Its a OK, its from the british archives

@Smin1080p_WT I was just looking at an old report I made and was wondering if you would know or be able to ask about why it’s marked duplicate?
This report is about the moving gunpod on the Su-24 breaking the ammo count when equipped and the gunpod being assigned as a primary weapon when it should be an additional gun like all other gunpods.
But it’s been marked as a duplicate of this report:
Su 24 gun pod glitch
This report is about the gunpod not tracking targets correctly.
They are separate issues so I’m not sure why my report has been marked as a duplicate of the second report.
My guess is that they needed a 3D version of the skin, and just took a fanmade one and assumed it was 1-1 with the real one
Its fine, they come from the National Archives UK
