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

They had them

It’s an F-15E with better engines and radar, at best a 14.3 but more like a 14.0 for me, not even AIM-120D as far as I know

And additional countermeasures (like the F-15I) and MAWS for the rear. Still not 14.7 but worth mentioning for sure.

It would be a worse AESA-Typhoon but better than mechanical Typhoon which is at 14.3. It has to be 14.3 minimum. None of the Typhoons have AIM-120D either.

At least the Typhoons have more missiles in better Airframes and don’t forget Isreal needs a fighter jet not a strike aircraft

It’s true that the meta focuses more on airframes/missile count atm, doesn’t mean the F-15SG won’t be 14.3 material though.

What makes you think the F-15 isn’t a fighter jet?

if it doesnt get MRML maybe it can be 14.3 but thats as low as it can go reasonably

well neither should F-15SG tbh

I know it will be but in the current state of top tier meta specially without any decompression it will be bad as the F-16 (that it’s also 14.3 for some reason)

The F-15E and the F-15SG that is a variant of the -E (like the Ra’am we already have in game) were built around ground striking and even in game it’s classified as a strike aircraft

If you mean the AMRAAM Racks it doesn’t get any it will be the 8 max AMRAAMs that the F-15E has

If you come to Canada everything becomes a cool gray.

Well, there could probably be only help from subtrees without an upgrade to Meteors and IRIS-T or some twin-seat variants of already represented planes. Although both trees have way more important issues with missing planes at lower brs imo.

Infrared Targetting Pod. Used ingame on the USN and Thai A-7Es.

You’re thinking of the RF-5A, the NF-5A/B is a better engined variant (basically) of the F-5A/B. The Netherlands version is found ingame already in the French tree: (I’ve heard it’s one of the best F-5s ingame for the BR)

Sir that’s a bomb rack, lol

Yep Greece got some free NF too

Yea I realised it to late at the start

LANA is navigation pod tho. Not targeting pod,which is wrong ig. LANA enabled flights at night and in low light conditions.

It’s considered one ingame, which is why I called it that, since if this vehicle is added ingame it would receive it with said function. (it has a laser ingame too, dunno if it’s supposed to but if it isn’t then that’s quite funny)

I know it is considered that in the game, and its why i am saying its wrong. It should have been removed as it have pretty much no use in the game atm.

Well now you’re confusing me, because you quoted someone talking about the NF, said NF, and then talked as if it was the RF-5 lol

Yea I got confused with the RF and NF, Greece used both,

That’s what Pipimer already said and that I was responding to. He said F-15SG wouldn’t have AIM-120D and thus would be at 14.0 in his opinion, and I said the mechanical Typhoon also doesn’t have AIM-120D and is at 14.3. The F-15SG would have an AESA radar over the mechanical typhoon.

It would be better than the F-16 Pobit which should go down to 14.0.

Tbh it’s still a fighter jet even if the game classifies it as such. It just isn’t on the level of Gen 4.5+. In fact if they started adding FBW limits to aircraft, then it would reduce the level of disparity in flight performance between eurocanards/sukhois and US airframes.
