That’s just your opinion lol (or you know something we don’t).

There’s little difference between 6 and 8, especially when there are talks of reducing player count anyway. If it really was an issue, they could limit the amount carried (so F-15 would only be allowed the body pylons and not the wing ones for AIM-120, for example). There is precedence for this already with planes like the A-10 and their AIM-9L.

They generally are incomplete and not 100% accurate, just mostly accurate.

There is no precedent. A-10 has all of its pylons filled with AAMs.
And the premium is a premium, not a tech tree vehicle, it’s one plane.
They should never make arbitrary limits, never.
If you want that, go to custom battles.

The premium one does not and is limited to 2x AIM-9L for balance while the tech tree one carries 4x 9Ls.

Both should be able to carry 4x 9Ls. The funny part is, the pylon is there on the premium one, just empty.

Spoiler

They should make limits as it suits them for gameplay and balance. I’m sure people would rather have an F-15C MSIP with 4x 9Ms and 4x AIM-120s now than wait longer to get it with 8x AIM-120s.

Whats stopping them from giving us a jet with 8+ ARHs? There isnt anything

In my opinion, nothing really. Gameplay wise it doesn’t matter much and is a negligible effect.

If anything you wouldn’t want to use all ARHs anyway because you’d want IR missiles for their IRCCM and agility. ARHs at close range are going to be slow and sluggish in comparison.

I can understand not giving us this but its not like they cant limit anyway

Yea they’ve done it before and they can do it again. Losing a few missiles just to get the aircraft in the game sooner is just fine. Same policy as bringing in aircraft with older missiles even though it could use the newer ones or even entered service with the newer ones.

On both its pylons.
Dual mount isn’t a pylon, but either way it’s a premium.
And no, there should be no limitations on F-15s. that’s anti-Japan/USA/Israel bias.

So youve literally said no nation should get more then 6 ARHs but now youve said itd be okay for the F15 to get 8?

You replied to the wrong person.
Typhoon, F-15C MSIP, etc are not coming this update.
We don’t even have AMRAAMs in the live client yet.

You can see the point how both are empty and missing arbitrarily just so it can sit at a lower BR. It’s also ironic that you are arguing against arbitrarily limiting aircraft pylons but at the same time arbitrarily ignoring precedence.

Unless you know more than you’re letting on, you have no idea or authority on what is or is not coming next update. We all assume stuff like the Typhoon isn’t coming, but we assume. We don’t state that as fact.

I want to clarify that I’m not trying to be aggressive towards you, but strongly expressing that the way you word things matter.

Every tech tree has a <6 AARH capable jet to be added, especially now that Thailand is confirmed where it’s going.
There is no tech tree that will be without an AARH carrier if they add the Thai F-16A MLU.
That is the rumor that I go with for this update.

Who dares wins bans… as they say!

I would have to dispute that…

If only you knew how right you are!

But… Seriously guys… Take it easy please… less spamming off topic images, memes and so on

We can understand Dov blog withdrawal syndrome… but, just keep things orderly and civilized! Thanks!

There is no rule that ARH count has to be less than 6. You are making that up and claiming that as a fact of rule as if the devs stated it. That is what I take issue with. If you have more information to confirm what you’re stating, please do share or at the very least confirm that you do.

There is the F-15J MSIP and Thai Gripen C as well. If anything though they should add the Gripen over the F-16A because Japan already has the F-16AJ.
