they’ll need them when F-22 Su-57 and J-20 hit the game
The CM disclosure said a new aircraft variant.
The F-15EX is still a variant of the F-15E family.
in the same way that the F/A-18E is a Variant of the F/A-18

But still, it’s hard to believe in the F-15EX to be honest. But the chances are not zero. I’m betting on the F-16
Nope. Looks like the US is getting Aim-120Ds and everyone else will be left waiting for Aim-120B/C5s to be buffed
I am really curious as to how the PL-12A will be modelled
In theory it should have the same motor as the PL-15 but without dual pulse, so the second stage ignites immediately after the first one instead of being delayed. This actually makes it better at relevant engagement ranges in WT compared to the PL-15…
I think the AESA F-15E or F-15EX.
Gaijin clearly wants to help the US winrates at 14.3-14.7 and give them a true 14.7, adding what is at best a sidegrade to the F-15C GE and F/A-18E isn’t going to achieve that goal in any way.
(AIM-120Ds at best negate some of the weaknesses of the F-16C, but not enough to make it an upgrade over the 2 mentioned planes)
F-14D?
i got killed by the discarded sabot tho?
Or AI slopatron…

Yaaay, excellent news.
Yes, that would certainly be cool, I love the F-15. It doesn’t matter to me what kind of plane comes out. The main thing is that he has Stormbreaker`s. And then it will be good.

i just saw the update post…
hmmm…
I feel wired to add 120D right now
If B/C5 stats aren’t realistic enough
why to add D type instead of look into or accept the bug report
I think they are being lazy alll the timee
Yep, they dont like the US and USSR not being meta
They see that US top tier air is struggling and want to buff them specifically (along with China). Buffing 120B/120C-5 doesn’t do that as it would be a blanket buff, for the US but also for the already powerful AESA EFTs (and a whole bunch of other planes), kind of negating the buff the US received.
So they add AIM-120D and give it specifically to the US so that they get a targeted buff. (just like why China is getting the PL-12A)
(don’t get me wrong, 120C-5s should still get a buff imo)
France, Britain, Italy and Germany having been the top tier air meta for over a year straight now:

So, seems air is not going to see as much in this update acording to the CM. More ground/naval focus after the Hungarian stuff.
Only one unique SPH, so it is between the Hummal and Palmaria.
IFVs, likely some of the CRVT models found and hopefully some for other nations.

as was to be expected with the addition of EFT and RFL
you can’t just add the uncontested best Gen 4++ planes to the game and expect them not to dominate everything

Thank you for your reply and reminder
I see your point, it makes sense
however
I can hardly tell how the US Air top tier would be being buffed with the 120D
I acknowledge that the 120D will have the GNSS along with ARH+IOG+DL
GNSS… doesn’t really matter, right?
It only tells the x,y coordinates in space, but not with the information on the z-axis
Or it didn’t even have the GNSS…

And, sadly, not even the cool type (Rank VIII MBTs after 2+ years since their introduction, Battleships… light stuff and DDs instead). Although I have some hopes for something!
SEPv3 or something, Leclerc XLR, or fixes for the already ingame broken tanks…
Also now news about regenerative steering :(
