all 231 have been bliss
the flight model for F-15C too…
Actually flabbergasted by reading this.
I expected Gajiin to call it a day because it had decent stats.
Still waiting for its appereance on the dev server to fully appreciate it, yet the news are already very welcome!
Heck yeah! Finally, after the Su-27SM and Su-30SM get dual racks that for sure they have never mounted, and the Eurobomber gets twin racks that have only been shown in cockpit demos, the Golden Eagle (which actually mounted the racks) gets the same treatment.

Hopefully one day we might see the EPAWSS now that the FM buff is gone.

Hi, can we have GBU53 with IR seeker introduced to F15E and 18E? Since the spice250 has been added for months and other nations received it in this major update as well. By using IR mode the GBU53 and spice250 is basically exactly same thing.
now isnt all of that enough precedent for AMBER too?
because we have the actual mockups, and patents for it unlike those other ones in game

if anything SPICE will be better in game because GBU-53 has a HEAT warhead, which is much less reliable in game
According to everything I’ve found on stormbreaker, it has a duel purpose warhead with a blast fragmentation and HEAT warhead. Idk how true that is, but it seams feasible considering how new the bomb is.
This is from raytheon and it states the same thing. A multi purpose warhead.

yes but like other dual purpose warheads in game (eg. JAGM) it will probably be modeled as HEAT
Fair.
With MRML we have proof of rewiring the pylons and the new databuses, which would have allowed its use. We don’t have that for the amber racks. It would be extremely hard to prove those.
true, but its not like that has been proven for other pylons being added
Again, we have proof of rewiring and new databuses there that are compatible with MRML. We don’t have that for Amber racks. Unless you mean stuff like the Su-30SM twin racks?
for the EX, can the LEGION pod go on the dedicated pod hardpoint and not centerline like the F-15C so we can take a drop tank with full 16 missile + LEGION loadout?
That is an excellent question, I haven’t seen any testing of the legion pod on the EX. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work if they WANTED to though

yeah, we dont have that for stuff like the flanker twin racks or the EFT twin racks
ideally they let us use Tiger Eyes if LEGION is centerline only, but since its an export thing afaik im not sure if we can bring them even though they have been on F-15SA’s and QA’s
Rewiring and databuses aren’t needed and all it needs is a single MIL-STD-1760 connection.
The BRU-61/A rack uses that interface AFAIK.
So the F-15E should technically have the capability idk about the F-15C
patent of the MIL-STD-1760 citing the BRU-61/A

not like any of this matters it got gaijin’d

Depends on what side of the bed the devs wake up on that day
