Not that I disagree, but it’s not like we are talking about PoBIT levels of kit differences. And if the F-15EX really makes the AESA EFT completely obsolete, like Morvran likes to believe, there is always the simple solution of giving those AIM-120Ds too.
what about AIM-26A
thats the one im hoping for
In terms of the meta, the f15ex will still not be better than rafale, eurofighter, and sm2. The only strength it will have is bvr, due to insane thrust and good missile count. Having Hobs capability is unmatched, and no f15 has that.
It doesn’t make euro obsolete
That kind of claim is a little delusional

Not better than rafale or SM2
But considering how close the GE is to the euro now, it’ll definitely be equal or better
even if the EX got 16 missiles it would be an SM2 sidegrade
well, IRL they could, just using datalink or possibly IRST through pods or ESM
and amraam actually turns IRL unlike in game
Hello is Poland tech tree possible?
True but I doubt they will address this for whatever reason
Dw, having 12 amraams totally fixed the issue of their bad pull!
I have a feeling its basically just gonna be a worse F-106

We don’t really have any existing nuclear A2A missiles in the game, so that is very unlikely.

lol the least they could do is give it 16 missiles, considering they gave sm2 more than it does in real life. And iirc they did the same with Rafael
Morvran did claim that the EFT would need meteors if the F-15EX and Su-35 were to be added.

The Raf and EFT are best in class in time to optimal launch for BVR…even the 15EX won’t beat them at this and they both beat the EX in close…even when the EX has a 9XBlk2…MICA IR IRIS-T out do it!
Everyone just wants them added already so the 5th Gen time line can be Confirmed for Christmas update 🤞🥹
16 missiles will be absolute cancer but I do see how it would be possible in-game
More than that? Fuck no

I only care for IRIS-T ;3
BVR is nigh-irrelevant
Please state anywhere where I said it would be “obsolete”?
Like seriously, you are putting words in my mouth.
I said it needs buffs/fixes, and that could very well include meteor given that they would probably be limited to only 6, as Im not sure there is enough evidence for dual rack meteors.
And given this is Gaijin we are talking about. Meteors are just going to be even worse C5s in WVR combat, and then have very long range after that, but no evidence they will be any more dangerous than C5s are.
And even if not meteor. At least:
- Buffed and Fixed FM
- BOL fixed
- Other P4E additions like EvoDASS
etc etc
Just for once, it would be nice to have a vheicle that isnt artificially nerfed to hell because the community “feels” its too strong.
and lets face it. US mains are just bad and they need super weapons to compete.
But when are we allowed Meteor then, if not with the F-15EX? F-22s with Aim-120D3s or Aim-260s?
Right?
Su-30SM2 and F-15C GE are already stronger in most situations. Assuming both the F-15EX and Su-35 would be stronger still. And this being Gaijin we can assume the Su-35 will come with R-37s or R-77Ms… I think we can confidently state that C5s on teh Typhoon wont cut it anymore
