Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

looks like it yes

Today should be the teaser day…

Or it’s the fact that US airframes are objectively worse than current 14.7 planes.

Maybe if Gaijin didn’t artificially nerf the AMRAAM’s pull off the rail they’d be competitive. But as of now that’s simply not the case.

The EFT AESA simply outclasses both the F/A-18E and F-15C GE. It’s no contest. Radar gimbal limit, flight performance, onboard systems, HMD if you play ASB…

The Rafale is, well, a Rafale. One of the most handholdy planes in the game with one of (if not the absolute) best Fox-3s in the game.

And the Su-30SM2 has a goofy not-so-historical avionics suite with its engines and radar. R-77-1s are simply better than AMRAAMs at most ranges (99% of the times you’d actually wanna fire a missile), and the SM2 has the radar gimbal to back that up.

I’m sorry but this is some heavy cope.

This post makes it extremely obvious that you have only played the EFT/AESA EFT at top tier.

Full honesty, take what I said with a massive grain of salt . I was just giving a generalised look at in war thunder I simply based what i said on info I have heard, or have present.

If you have documents or such saying otherwise then your probably right but the graphic you posted one doesn’t apply to the f15E’s in game as we got a variant that has the 229’s, it also comes from a magazine and not a primary source like the straight up developers, Boeing. all though from what I’ve heard that news outlets is pretty fair so possibly just an old article.

Now in all honesty I had to make the assumption due to larger payload capacity stated on the official f15ex site as I assumed for it to reach the same 81000 pound take off limit with an extra 6500 payload that they would have to be lighter despite apparently receiving the reinforcement during development to carry the larger payload.

And to be fair I also was under the assumption they were using the same engines as the f15E in game uses and they do the 229 because of complaints, (despite the fact it should not have them unless it was an AESA variant.)

So same engines probably lighter when not fully payload loaded makes me assume by the basic rules of t-w it would probs be faster although if anyone has any detailed sources stating otherwise please give me I love this aircraft and want to read more.

also regarding the composite I will be the first to say I’m actually not 100%, on it as they could have lost weight from removing or upgrading older systems it just makes the most sense logically after some one pointed it out of the f15ex machinery of war topic or at least I think that one if you look though my activity you might find it.

also i really miss the officallf15e site cause i really want to double check since the official f15ex site says this but I don’t 100% know if they count the f15E despite designation as a fighter when they say this.

does anyone have the way back machine link for the boeing F15E site possibly?
sorry meant to make it a reply @Macron-Spokesman
