Well you could get hornets and maybe later A-6? for SLAM but if you want an F-15 with them (me too), F-15K is the only option unless they allow USAF test F-15E loadouts on the in-game one
Speaking of F-15s are there any other domestic F-15 variants that Japan can get?
F-15DJ and F-15J JSI
South Korea is the only one that somewhat makes sense. Even then, it doesn’t fit. Saudi Arabia should go to Israel if anyone (idc fight me) and Brazil is kinda a dead spot. If they go to anyone, it could only really be France imo.
The Grizzly is an M4A1 hull all modifications were internal and the turret what are you talking about?

Typhoons, non-Israeli F-15’s, Tornadoes? idk about that especially with relations
It’s basically the only way for them to get anything until the F-15EX. And those unique F-15s are some of the best in the world right now. Sure the relations don’t exactly line up, but at least it’s not some like Iran.
Completely forgetting the large amount of ties to Italy, I see.

they have Ra’am Late, and its F-15IA not EX. also F-16I Sufa
they might have a later version of their F-15C too.
imo, Saudi makes sense as British premiums/events (wherever they want them really) and American squadron or even TT if they add Boeing’s F-15SA (well atp its just an American jet)

Saving them for Spain would be better as a combined sub of Portugal and Brazil
what unique stuff do they have? afaik top tier air will be hornets and gripens and ground is leopard 2’s
Ground has a lot of unique tanks from all, but it’s nearly 4am and I’m now on my phone so I need sleep lol.

AIM-9M or AIM-9X (Block I) or AIM-9X-2 (Block II) on AH-1Z wingtip pylons ?
But J-15T might to rank IX or early rank X
As modern as 9X BLK II has been integrated onto AH-1Zs. Would be a good way to implement them, same as 9Ls in the past, and funnily enough, using the same in-game vehicle to do it
Basically an improved F-15E, could come to US between the F-15E and F-15EX, Japan can get the F-15SG
Ah yes, AI is a reliable source indeed. The same AI that thinks the Rafale F.1 had a msa radar
We could get the F-15E RMP instead, although I’m genuinely expecting Gaijin to jump to the F-15EX and Su-35S by/around Christmas time.
Jumping so fast isn’t what they should do but probably what they will do, because sadly they don’t think about the game’s health and only about hype which generates more money
Yeah, they tend to want to keep hype up for the game. It would be nice if they decompressed and filled in a few gaps.
Between now and December we have 3 patches:
- 1st - Summer Patch (mid-June)
- 2nd - Fall Patch #1 (mid-September)
- 3rd - Fall Patch #2 (mid-November)
There are a few major additions they can still do (specifically for the USA) between now and December.
For example:
- F/A-18E Super Hornet – Would literally be on par with everything at top tier right now.
- F-16C Block 50 PoBIT – Would also literally be on par with everything at top tier right now. Could also come with a Taiwanese F-16V and MiG-29S/K or MiG-35.
- F-15C Late – Would be more of a sidegrade to the F-15E, having a better radar but still worse engines. Could come with the F-15J JSI and Su-27SM2 or SM3.
None of these are updates to the F-15E, they simply add AESA radars to the US tech tree. They also open the possibility of better AAMs, but we’re definitely gonna have to wait and see on new AAMs.
This also isn’t including vehicles that aren’t top tier. We still have yet to see the F-14D, A-6E SWIP, A-4M, etc. There’s PLENTY to add still, but I still suspect Gaijin will push things along even harder in December.

Yeah tbh I think we should stop the climb for a bit and fill the gaps at current BRs. The decompression is much needed as well obviously
