@Smin1080p_WT I wonder, Sure currently its weekend, but in the last time there wasnt realy some changes for vehicles which came with the Update (loooking at Rafale/Eurofighter/PzH), are the devs currently again on Holidays or went the Focus to the new coming Major Update and there is no longer an (special) focus on fixing stuff on these vehicles

The F15 is used for its longer range weapons and bait for the f22 to find targets to have a closer launch. They work in unison
now with AIM-260 on both of them, F-22 will be much better at this, it should be able to fire effectively from well outside the range even the most modern radars can detect it

Even if they added it and it came with (H)ARMs, it would merely inconvenience the Pantsirs and all other SAMs and SPAAs would get punished

Other aircraft get just as many HARMs, it wouldn’t be particularly any better at it than any other aircraft as you can launch a HARM from outside the Pantsir’s range anyways, and the F-16 is the better wild weasel platform thanks to is much higher maneuverability

growler has better EW though, ik its not in game but it still is an advantage over the F-16’s
Advanced eagles can be loaded with 4 HARM’s too, F-15EX specifically can get AARGM-ER
Why do you keep bringing up stuff like the F-15EX and these highly advanced missiles?
Yeah, I’m not saying it’s bad at the job, it’s just for WT I can’t imagine them modeling EW well enough for the Growler to be better than something like the F-15EX, F-16, F/A-18, or even the Prowler tbh for the US, and that isn’t even to mention the at least 7, but I think up to 9, ALARMs the Tornado can carry
ok then F-15SA and AGM-88B
Rafale F3R is from 2019 so thats definietly fair game (shouldve been added with EFT and Rafale tbh)
Ah yes, the good ol’ introduction date arguement

I mean, that’s why we added the F-15 first, and then the F-16 later.
And why the MiG-29 and SU-27 both came in much later patches than either of those aircraft.
…Oh wait

yeah, i mean they might just make the EA-18G best EW in game but even then theyd probably sell it short.
ALARM is objectively worse than HARM though
i mean, US is stuck with 1980’s airframe 4th gen w/ mechanical radar while France gets a 2000’s airframe 4.5 with AESA radar so we shouldve gotten the F-15SA at the same time
Here’s a fun fact, just because something was dated one date doesn’t mean it’s equal to the stuff that came out/is from then.

At 2.9 mach it would be pretty hard to hit
what about an airframe about 20 years newer?
Man’s about to ask for the F-22

no, im saying that rafale is 20 years newer than F-15E
its radar is about 35 years newer too
The newest models of HARM, maybe.
ALARM can loiter which is something the HARM can’t do.
The HARM has better range, but the ALARM has plenty, you don’t want to fire these missiles from too far anyways, hence the wild weasel strategy
eh not really theyve had the terminal guidance for some time now
