Again, this Loader is undergoing training so is not focused on speed, only on carrying out correct drills as taught.
Suffice to say I’ve been in the Gunner’s seat of CR2 and put rounds down range, and even when performed at full speed the LDT drills are much slower as they are accentuated for training purposes. The real thing is much faster and a “good” loader can put three rounds in the air simultaneously on a long-range HESH engagement.
What is your foughts on F-15E AESA (Or RMP) and F-15EX? I see a lot of players like me want the EX but i feel like we will get the F-15E AESA instead cause devs will not give us a plane with 16 missiles and better F110-GE-129 engines (you can find it in game on F-16CM btw) on the same BR with F-15C GE (i suppose 16 missiles cause F-15C GE got 12 missiles through AMBER racks and on the same pilons as EX so its possible. We deffinetly will not get 22 missiles cause its use not confirmed and its TOO powerfull for the game).
F-15E AESA at the same time is kinda good if we will close our eyes on 8 missiles. It have the same radar as the EX wich is AN/APG-82(V)1 and the same electronic warfare system which is EPAWSS.
regardless, this is an easy balancing decision that gaijin could do to allow it to be in the game. just give it the 12. the sm2 has better engines than even these new ones would be, and especially the radar, so it’s not like those would make it better than current top tier.
Tbh, i dont think it will be too OP or “will broke the game and balance” cause we already have Su-30SM2 with 14 missiles, J-16 which is very fast and hes missiles are closer to AIM-120D’s and we will probably get the Su-35S also. I mean EX will more powerfull obviously but hey, can US mains be happy once?
Obviously, the proof used to give it that also applies to the F-15EX (if whoever made the original report switches some words around, that is)
Despite this, weight is still a thing and the F-15EX would still have much better flight performance compared to it. You don’t exactly see Su-30SM2s flying faster than F-15E’s currently, do you?
Yeah, Su-30SM2 and even Su-35S is no match for F-15EX and even F-15E speed, i think EX in proper configuration will outrun even EF2K or Rafale. In terms of max speed even old F-15E is still unbeatable in game (J-16 is capped at mach 2.1) so EX will be crazy
My bet is EW and missiles like AIM-9X, IRIS-T and R-74 in this update, as well some 4.5 gen fighters and F-35 spam in the New Year update, i literraly think the 5th update of this year will beat the record of copy-paste planes in one update of good old days when F-16 was added to the game. Can’t wait too grind 3 “tottaly different” F-35A/B/C in US tech tree to move on to the other nations and do the same thing xD
