welp that’s nice ill be up doing assessments anyways so lucky me i guess.
who wants to bet the us doesn’t get a new platform this update and they just give the f16c a new missile just to screw with us it be pretty funny.
I mean they explicitly said the US would be getting a new aircraft with 120Ds.
We can pretty much deduce that we’ll end up with any of these three:
- F-15E Late w/ AESA
- F-15EX
- F-16C PoBIT
US gets a new top tier aircraft every patch or every second one.
Imagine other nations lile germany would get tanks atbthe same rate US gets planes

And yet none of them are good enough to be top tier yet.
i doubt the EX to big of an addition it would overshadow any other addition except 5th gens for US. plus i feel like the ex will follow the f15c ge in rank 9 so i don’t think they will overshadow the ge in 2 updates and immedietly max out the f15 tier 9 line this early.
for me I’m stuck between the f16 POBIT or f15e late since both would fit beginning rank 9 and I think the f15e late would be the best addition to be the last dedicated strike aircraft for that line.
however we haven’t had an f16 in 4-3 years ish so that would make sense also and would be last addition before the f35A.
so guess is probably f16pobit or maybe V(that would be weird though), or the f15E late.
My biggest issue is which would I want first f15E late with aim120ds would feel awesome as I already love the f15E even in uptiers and it would actually hold its own when played by competently intelligent players imo, or the f16 which I love but 6 aim120D and mediocre bvr and wvr performance would be pretty mediocre .
im not even going to attempt editing this i just attempted to read and had a stroke.
If happens, no cent will go from my wallet to them. Only GJN
currently that’s true yes, but only because the Eurocanards are so far superior to anything conventional the US has that Gaijin just cannot find a New plane to fit the role
other trees have ut easier
EX is already overshadowed by most 4.5 gens in the game
Eurofighter Rafale even the Su-30SM2 to some extent overshadow it

The F-15EX would not be a crazy addition or anything. It still wouldn’t really beat the current 14.7s in anything other than top speed and maybe missile count (depends on how Gaijin treats MRML racks, could be 12-16).
There really isn’t a reason to not add the F-15EX right now unless they want to create hype for the Summer patch.
The cynical side of me says the PoBIT is coming because it’s exactly what the US does not need right now. Not to mention they’re reshuffling the Chinese air tree, which could point towards a Taiwanese F-16V.

Also if it carry 16+missiles it will become a bus losing every advantage it got over the E variant
I mean GE-129 engines will help offset that.
It wont offset the drag it causes also, it become a f104 so to get into notch eith that many missile in time would be impossible
But carrying only 12 missiles at max it can compete eith typhoons and other top dogs
by the time you go into notching at the beginning of a match especially with the 16 missile count you should most definitely have fired 8 bringing you done to essentially regular notch performance.
I actually have to disagree I think the f15ex while 0 modern IR missiles exist in game would hold up perfectly fine against all the other 4.5 gens especially if they use the logic they used for the ah64e’s to get JAGM’s so we get maws and if they don’t manage to screw up the aim120d’s however theirs a massive exception I will state in a sec.
the f15ex would be an f15E with better speed lighter due to composites as I learned yesterday, making up for larger missile quantity. flight performance due to again lighter and FBW, missile count, radar and later on ground ordinance.
however it would only be held back by the fact that we literally cant get a buff to USA based AESA because we literally know nothing about them which is really goddamn funny and sad so if played how most people played top tier it would be average or worse in several aspects.
though in my experience if you don’t due this thing called flying in a straight line while climbing at the beginning of the map before attempting BVR you can actually do really well in the f15e and ge against all enemies even the 14.7’s
it mainly held back by the mind set if people in all vehchles played this way it would be average for 14.7 but since evn those in the other 14.7 dont tend to due so its really quite good.
on a sidenote
I’m not gonna say that a majority of why things like the f15e and f15ge suffer is the players suck, however I will say its because none of them have had a thought to play it differently from every other 4.5 they’ve played or how they had played the 13.-13.7 bracket before( this is primarily the fault of gaijin giving only one type of mode that you have to play for hundreds hours so you never really consider changing the way you grow to naturally play.
also does anyone know wth happened to the f22 machinery of war topic like its just gone?
Honestly, thats to much justbbitching from US players either way.
The while ARB game mode at that tier just is bad at this point.
The flight performance difference only matters for dog fights. To which it doesnt come to most of the time either way.
US is to pampered in that regard. And gajin does try to bend backwards for them in that regard.
F-15EX F 15 etc wont change anything.
There are the same F-15 in the essence. More missles wont make the difference
