the reason i dont like the f15c is bc the one thing the f15 is good at (bvr) its not very good at, you accelerate slower than almost everything at your br
F22 can still supercruise at speeds of above mach 1.5 without using afterburner. Its engines alone produce about double the dry thrust and about 60% more wet thrust than eurofighter’s engines.
Why would I rely on HMD when I know that a launch in such a situation is gonna be a waste of a missile?
As soon as I get another good launch window I don’t really need the HMD anymore
I guess that’s just me being more conservative with missiles then lol
Well something is better than nothing at this point. The best we can do for the US is get Gaijin to give the F-15C GE 120Ds and give them overwhelming feedback that making the F-16 14.7 would be delusional.
They aren’t going to pull a F-15EX out of their ahh, so at this point it’s better to focus on things we can affect instead of focusing on things we can’t change.

Well first of all I said somewhat happy, and second of all, I guess it’s because I would have a platform to perform well with those missiles, if the 120D comes out and it’s only available on the worst american airframes (new F16 + F/A-18) I will not even be slightly happy.
The F-16 will be 14.0 at most, it will not be 14.7. Giving 120D to 15C GE would change absolutely nothing, 120D is a nothingburger missile.
It absolutely isn’t going to be 14.0, I can assure you of that.
My sweet summer child. The new F-16 is 100% getting 14.7’d until the next BR change when Gaijin will realize it is total slop.
Yup, 100% 14.3

Really depends on how its modeled. look at how c-5 was on dev.
Do you not know that the 120D (not D-3) is pretty much the same exact missile as the 120C-5? It changes absolutely nothing for War Thunder.
The outside pylons are MRML. That’s why we know they exist
How about you wait until the dev server?
They also didn’t correctly model the C-5, so who is to say they aren’t gonna give the 120D features that the C-5 is missing?

Dev C-5 was amazing, then they nerfed it for absolutely no reason. 120D will not be any different than the current 120C because its just the same missile but with software upgrades (which dont actually make a difference in this game).
Agreed. It doesn’t deserve to be 14.3, but Gaijin backed themselfs into a corner where it can’t be any lower.
Exactly lol
atp im still gonna just use the f15e lmao, its been the most fun to use since its at a good br now
