belly double racks arent used nor integrated (or the C GE in game would have em iirc)
AMBER isn’t functional for AMRAAM usage IIRC, max will probably be 16 as it uses the same MRML as seen on F-15C GE.

The 8 on the belly is where you’re going wrong, as I’ve said:
The belly AMBER racks are not known to be functional pylons. We’ve only seen them displayed before in a likely mockup or prototype state. We have no proof of integration of a working system either, only a patent for it.
The particular plane (12)633 in the image was actually one of Norway’s F-104G rather than one of Norway’s CF-104s.
Serial 61-2633 built by Lockheed as a RF-104G, but was converted in the Netherlands to normal F-104G with a gun for Norwegian service.

There was an RCAF CF-104D with a serial 12633 sold to RNoAF. But that was re-serialed as 104633 in Canadian Forces service after the 1968 restructuring, and flew with the code (4)633 when it was in Norway, not (12)633
It’s been repainted in its original RCAF colours and serial (12633) since returning to Canada as a museum piece.

I blame Growling Sidewinder /s Bro gave us hope
Then again DCS (or is it a mod?) also has a ramjet R-77 so anything goes there apparently

i wouldnt trust growling Sidewinder ngl, some of his vids are quite slop
feels like he sometimes does barely research
I just watch the odd one where “Meteor” is mentioned… other than that it’s usually the dying moments that I find joy (and jumpscares) in.
never watch any of his vids including modern chinese stuff that isnt in DCS (aka anything par jeff)

Didn’t know that I thought they were integrated, but still 16 missiles is a huge number
F-15EX will be mid in BVR but very strong in mid to late game if you play semi-conservatively tbh, especially if it has AIM-120D’s minimum too
The first CF-104s arrived in Norway in 1973. Bought from the Canadians to replenish destroyed F-5s. 1973 is the same year the photo with the Penguin is taken. Also all CF-104s were green, with matte silver underneath

The more you know neato
Look at that peak green camo
Matches quite well with ours
Did you guys ever get a number for the Viking pod CM limit?
No, as far as i could assess it was the shell of an ALE-2 dispenser with a different system inside. Perhaps it was ALE-38. But not anymore specific than that, havent found any technical documentation myself. I dont kno what anyone else have found out

What do you think, will the teaser be released next week? Last year, it came out on September 4, and the first devblog was released on August 20
this is the type of rabbit hole some people in this chat will go through just to say nuh uh gaijin wont add another fake prototype https://youtu.be/ZS1rCeuc8fs?t=18 and provide 20 documents on random planes
As mentioned:
So yes, always possible in the future some aircraft may get expanded choices, but right now the devs are focusing mostly on aircraft that don’t have them yet or new aircraft coming to the game.
Hello Smin, how was your day?
Hey Smin is there any possibility of getting the AMX 30 super moved to the German tech tree as its a German modified vehicle or is it staying in France
Hey. Its Friday, so its always a good one. Hope yours is good too.
