That’s just a single seat F-15. No double canopy.

F-15E

F-15A

The canopy seems to be very similar and hard to tell details without seeing inside the canopy which isn’t pictured. However the CFT and targeting pod below definitely point to an F-15E.

Is this similar to like that eSports decal from the last December update, or rather before it?

A reskin, a boat and and another C&P but with mods props

Do we have that in game ?

Look under the plane. There is a visible pod. Also CFTs.

Not sure, it was just sent there.

Yeah.

What’s the point of M1A2 SEPv2 when, instead of being the upgrade it should be, it actually feels like a DOWNGRADE because all it features compared to SEP is extra dead weight?

What’s the point of Challenger 3 (TD) if, the way they implemented it, it doesn’t even feel an upgrade compared to Challenger 2E because, while it has more pen, it has slower reload and worse armor because the devs somehow gave it the wrong and outdated turret the old Challenger 2s used to have before their armor update?

What’s the point of Leclerc AZUR when it’s just a slower Leclerc S.2?

What’s the point of Leclerc S.XXI when they didn’t model half of its armor improvements, therefore, rendering it a S.2 gameplay-wise? (Speaking of S.2, it should also have better armor than S.1, yet it doesn’t either.)

What’s the point of F-16C, F-15A, MiG-29SMT or SU-27 if all of them are going to be played the same way? Merely thrown into a 16v16 mess where everyone dies within 1 minute because all the match consists of is essentially mass-head-onning with 256 missiles being fired simultaneously against each other?

Seriously, Air RB at Top Tier feels like a Napoleonic War. Spawn, both teams fire a volley of missiles, everyone dies at random except 1-3 survivors in one team, next match. 16 vs 16 is simply not fit for Top Tier Air RB.

So… regarding new additions;

What’s the point of M1A2 SEPv3? They will likely give it the same armor as M1A1 HC once again claiming that “they don’t think it can have better armor”.

What’s the point of F-15C or Eurofighter Typhoon? Both are going to rush head-on into the same furball to die to one of the hundreds of missiles fired at them at the same time.

Etc, etc.

I was always extremely excited about new vehicles, but… right now, I think what we need is Gaijin taking seriously the modelling of Ground vehicles, and reducing the scale of Top Tier Air RB matches so that they are anything else besides a Napoleonic volley fire war with missiles.

Yeah, as much as I’d love BAE Hawk, Sea Harrier FA2 or Typhoon.

Id also rather enjoy the Tornado Gr1. Such a shame that its barely recognisable in game. Id quite happily skip getting anything new for Britain air, if we actually had all of our additions from the past year or so, actually fixed/finsihed

the F-15Cs use the CFTs too tho!


for example this is the F-15C Baz Meshupar with CFTs

F-15A & F-15B no CFT

I feel look like Sniper XR but not LANTIRN AN/AAQ-14 targeting pod under CFT Strike Eagle

F-15D look like F-15E Strike Eagle and F-15I Ra’am but no LANTIRN (AN/AAQ-14 & AN/AAQ-13), difference radar and engine

The prewar biplanes are surprising to me, since the ground and naval trees reserve vehicles start well above them in BR compared to their counterparts here

But it definitely seems like they plan to start from them regardless of that

I wonder how long it’ll take for them to reach the MiG-29, the catch-up point for WTM aircraft according to their official website. Probably not too soon, the most modern aircraft currently there is only the Q-5A.


Still though, it might be soon enough to pass our toptier before we reach that point.

Hopefully the plane is free again!

This is historically similar to the first man on the moon, both events somehow belong to humanity as a whole.

Peculiar concidence that an event related to the Soviet Union gets a Soviet decal.
