why not both? MiG-21-2000 and Kfir C.10 to Israel while LanceR goes to Italy and MiG-21-93 to USSR

You have the F16 so maybe another one with ARH
That will likely come incidentally, but it will need a TT counterpart as well. Much consternation over what will be added, yet, the simplest move is to just throw them on the Yak-141/MiG-29SMT and call it a day.
I agree, especially the yak, last time I saw a freestyle was like last year. However after the BR changes the yak is a lot more competitive due to better matchmaking.

Now i grind the off brand Leopard
I hope that gajin adds the 120mm or expands some of our dead lines

Now this is a good tank, you are the nemesis of begeleit 2s38 and vilkas alike, but you will have to accept the fact that no matter which angle you look at it is just ugly.
However, I truly feel that an F-15A or F-15C with it’s present guided bomb abilities (a largely US focus) coupled with new Fox-3’s are going to make CAS for ground RB more difficult for the USSR. I really do think that at a minimum, the MiG-29SMT should be given Fox-3’s, but more preferably, as it is the analogue of the F-15 in many ways, the Su-30M should be added if the F-15C is added for the US. This isn’t a power creep, as it would mostly a lateral change. It would simply be adding Fox-3’s and guided munitions to a plane that mostly already exists in game. Minor radar buff at the cost of slightly less FM performance is the only other thing really.
I actually dont know much about the F-15 vs Su-27 balance, so I cant discuss much on that, well, I flew the barak 2 and JAS39C at top tier, and I felt neither are really harder to face.
I would think the SMT would get Fox 3s since it’s also at 12.7. They could move it to 13.0 if they wanted and keep the Su-27 at 12.7 so there’s no gap.
Same situation as the F-16C where it could get them and also be moved up if necessary.
F15 being 12.3 and Su 27 being 12.7 says quite a bit, if its about CAS capabilities, its good vehicles gonna get seperated BRs
Doesn’t the F15 have better CAS though
It has Tv guided bombs i think
Not matter a lot, since they dont have a targeting pod and the bombs doesnt have a rocket booster like the GR1. :trolloge:
Which is still missing ground radar
I am not as familiar with the F-15 side of things, but I know that the complaint is basically: F-15J is basically a non-AESA F-15C, has better missiles, and better flight performance… therefore the US deserves an early F-15C. Now while this is all an air issue, players who are far down both trees will take their F-15A’s into ground RB, and since they have good guided bombs, and a good loadout in general for more bombs, they can multirole quite well, and when piloted well, are worse to deal with than F-16’s.
If either the F-15A gets Fox-3’s (which afaik, requires a late MSIP upgrade), or more likely, an F-15C comes for the Fox-3 upgrade, the F-15 will have a competitive multirole loadout while also having speed and agility. It’s no JAS-39, but it will make the Su-39 look like a b*tch, and a Yak-141 isn’t going to do piss against ground targets.
KH-29TE’s that detonate half the time because someone is barely obstructed vs TV bombs (also have their flaws) seem like a fair trade-off. In terms of spawn points (SP), CAS with TV Bombs or AGM’s cost the same.
TL;DR F-15 getting Fox-3’s would be imbalanced without a USSR/Ru plane getting Fox-3’s or multirole status. Hence why I’ve been saying either Fox-3’s for the 29SMT, or add the Su-30M which again is basically the Fox-3+Multirole upgrade for the Su-27.
EDIT: This also brings the Chinese up to parity as the Su-30MKK would basically be the same model as the Su-30M with the same level of multirole and A2A capabilities.

israel could recive the F-16I Sufa, the F-15C Akef or the Upgraded F-15A to C standards renamed to F-15C Baz Meshupar this last one was passed to developers in october soo… there is a high chance

the Barak II is not an F-16C Block 50 is an F-16D Block 40 and when israel bought those F-16s USA at that time have an AMRAAM sales restriction over israel, thats the reason why israel developed the first Rafael Derby variant, when the pentagon find out that the Derby was a menace to the amraam sales the USA goverment changed his mind removing the amraam restriction over israel to shut off the production of the derby but that never happened, AMRAAMs sales restriction on israel was removed by the time Israel decided to acquire the first batch of F-16I Block 50/52+ the first batch of F-16Is came to israel with AMRAAMs. thats why i always say that the first AMRAAM F-16 carrier in the IAF was the SUFA and not the previous ones. PS: the AIM-7M and AIM-9M in the Barak II are totally innacurate IAF never used those missiles on them because the Barak II is a CAS plane, the historical missile loadout should be AIM-9L, Python-4 and more really more in the future the Python-5 and if gaijin decides to bring some kind of YAK-141 treatment they could add the first Derby variant to the F-16D because exist photografic evidence of that
it would be cool yess!! but i prefer a NETZ style for the Barak II to be true to reality just only IR missiles and really good ones. and let the SUFA shines when it finally comes to the game bringing with him the Derby, AMRAAM, etc. if you notice am really purist about this i dont want ficticious loadouts everywhere if its not necessary.

The F-15C is pretty much A2A only (No GBU-8 or -15), it’s the F-15E that’s the A2G model, and brings more fancy standoff ordnance, if Gaijin ever model it, which they probably won’t.
What you would really be panicking about is if they ever revise the F-16C-50’s ordnance, or add the F/A-18E, otherwise its a US AV-8B+, or A-10C (late) that will be called on to nuke ground targets.

with the exception of the israeli one that have ground ordinance because the IAF wanted to modified them to carry israeli guided weapons and some american guided weapons too

Another F-15J? I don’t know much about aircraft, I’m just throwing stuff out there.
Could be added at the same time as a later F-15C for the US and Israel.
This would be fair if the Pantsir wasn’t already making CAS more unfair for other nations.
Russia is the last nation I feel sympathy for in terms of CAS. I only agree with you for all the other nations.
