f15 EX was 1000000x a better choice but god forbid the U.S gets a fighting chance

Same clueless people who believed the F-15C GE landed as meta on day one. Only now with 12 120s it got better, but the same glorified airframe with a better radar and a slightly better missile (at least the common assumption on the 120D) isn’t going to be enough.

Don’t forget the F-15E RMP (may be known in-game as “Late”) as well.

yea but unfortunately you lose most of your bvr capability since everything is faster than you now, so the 12 missiles are really only good for defense

Judging by the support on the tail, it should be a BF 109 E I believe. Which Hungary technically used, although mostly for training.

I love how we are now at this stage of the trailer

tbh if the 120 comes out to be a true hardy upgrade then i wont be a pissed bu tif they give it like a diffrence of + or - 8km to the c5 im sueing

we need to enhance the us tree with an f15ex

And the shape of the nose, looks like an emil for sure.

Based takes.
Said a few of these myself.

I’m excited for F-16 Block 52 for America regardless, but I don’t expect it to be anything other than probably a decent option for 14.0/14.3 at the highest since they’re AIM-120Ds.
I’m unsure about the AIM-120D’s capabilities, but multiple expectations just in case they’re better than my suspicions.

all the 120 needs is some hobs capability, like the c5 had on the first dev server

the 120 doesnt lack range at all right now, it just cant do anything at short range which is where 75% of fights happen

One of the biggest upgrades of the 120d is improved hobs capability. improved from the already improved c-5. they may just decide that the aim120d is where they’ll add hobs capability.

I mean, I haven’t moved on from the fact the US is once again neglected at top tier, with another half baked plane as an alleged counterpart to fight the eurodeltas/Su-30s spam.

We’re still waiting for a solution for Israel at top tier (like an improved F-15I) as well.

Funnily enough the C-5 is a downgrade for HOBS stuff because yes

the 120c5 was also supposed to have that from everything ive read, which it did on the dev, then got ruined immediately after

In game, yes. irl, no.
