That’s very clearly an F-15C, likely some demo for F-15G… Which is already well known to not use ARMs… especially since no F-15C in service even has a 2nd pair of wing pylons…
Even still the whole point was to say the british tornado will probably carry the most ARMs of any plane in game since the F16 and EF-18 can only carry 4 each, german tornados only carry 4 HARMs as well im assuming most soviet aircraft only carry 2 to 6 ARMs and even then that takes most of their hard points

Well duh, that’s obvious.
Either way F-15s can’t use ARMs (besides 15SA iirc), that’s all I was saying.
Is it just me, or are 1776 and 1314 days of waiting an appropriately long period of time to be able to request a new airplane or ground vehicle for Japan from WWII, which will be a Tech Tree vehicle?

Well, it’s been 3,511 days since ATGM’s were first introduced to the game, and the US still doesn’t have a missile carrier in its TT, so I would buckle up.
Haven’t you heard BvvD response in the Q&A about how there enough WW2 or something like that ?
3,511 days is more than enough to get M901 w/ squadron points ))))))
What do you mean the US still doesn’t have a missile carrier?
yeah probably, closest thing is super hornet with 6 ARM

you understand that there is a lot of commonality with the F-15’s right?

Not in its TT, no.
If we wanted to have one WWII aircraft for example per year for each nation that is only two WWII aircraft per update, or 5-6 per update if we count subtree nations (that for the most part will run out much sooner than major developing nations too).
This is not unreasonable considering that WWII vehicles make up a large majority of vehicles missing from the game.
One each year per techtree nation should be the absolute minimum, no nation should go multiple years without WWII techtree addition unless they ran out entirely, which is a point most of us won’t see in our lifetime anyways.

Yeah, 18E and all late flankers (30/34/35) can do 6 ARMs.
you understand that there is a lot of commonality with the F-15’s right?
while yeah that’s true I don’t really like using that argument since that’s how you end up with F-15C Golden Eagle having GBU-8s…
Jokes really go everywhere but the intended target these days huh
Also, the M901 has the stupid turret mechanics where it has to fold down when driving. It’s also stupid how China has 2 vehicles in its TT whose primary armament are TOW’s, while the US doesn’t have a single one, despite literally creating the system.

Yeah it happens a lot, same thing happened with TOR till the latest update… was pretty funny
or like how nobody else has their Strela-2/igla launchers modeled on their ships besides a singular GERMAN coastal, not even a single Soviet/Russian one despite the fact they built it.

I took your joke as a serious, Gaijin level answer, so yes, it did go over my head. That’s my bad.
Ya, I’d very much like a TOW armed platform in the US that doesn’t have to deal with the turret fold mechanism.
I liked the M901 at times, but it was frustrating most other times. I don’t have the BRadalys yet, so I can say how they are, but I hear it’s not too different. Something with TOW that I can just stop and shoot would be nice.
