the F-15J could use AAM-4s and AIM-120s with some modifications, and I don’t think Gaijin would have a problem doing that, currently, the JAS-39A in the Swedish tech tree uses the JAS-39C weapons
so I dont think they would completely ignore the F-15J issue
It’s not needed, but it would definitely be a cool addition, and yes the Mig-29SMT already does the job,
I definitely agree with this one, IF we ever get the Su-27SM or even SM3, the F-15E strike eagle needs to be added

No, i think it would perform like the Yak-141, a good BVR machine but not a a good dogfhighter
Su-27SM would be great, a multirole is needed.
Is a time for Russia to get a multi role jet. For now yes Russia has a best BVR jet because of R-27er and best AG missles but Su-25sm has 1 main disadvantage AA radar missing, and if not have a support in air or SAMs Su-25sm is just a flying frag.
I assume Su-27SM better F-15E Strike Eagle in 2003 8%, especially close range tactic with 4th gen IR AAM and turn fight 1 on 1 tactic but F-15E CAS and ground attack better 7 or 10%
I guess USAF not integraded AIM-9X and not equipped with the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) until 2011 upgraded with the Raytheon AN/APG-82(V)1 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar,
I don’t think gaijin ready Su-27SM3 in 3 years but similar to F-15E with AN/APG-82(V)1 AESA radar and Shenyang J-11BG
Su-27SM has L-150 Pastel RWR and modified radar.
Only difference between 27SM and SM3 for game are cockpit and 2 more weapon points under wing.

No Irbis PESA from Su-35 on SM3?
No, same N001VEP

Oh sorry, I assume Su-27SM3 armed IR AAM and BVRAAM like Su-30M2 but carries 8x BVRAAM and Su-27S airframe
Dude’s player icon of choice is the one that has commie flag on it…
Do you get the gist?
its literally just the pages of history reward
Who will shine the laser for the X-29L?

No, the F-15J won’t be able to get AAM-4 until the J/ARG-1 version and is still under test adoption for AIM-120, both of which are after the MSIP upgrade. It would need to add: new J/APR-4A RWR, J/ARG-1, F100-IHI-220E, and maybe even AN/APG-63(V)1 & J/ALQ-8. It would be an entirely separate plane with entirely new capabilities at a separate BR.
JAS-39A could theoretically use AIM-9M; the reason they didn’t is because America never exported it to Sweden. This is why NATO in Europe used AIM-9L-(I) or AIM-9L-(I)-1, which are AIM-9M equivalents and would perform similarly to AIM-9M in WT. You can’t just give a missile to a plane that can’t even use it, like giving early F-15J ARH’s.
If multi-pathing stays like it is now you can just stick to the ground, most radars currently are in the I band (especially American), which is something the Su-27 can pick up. It doesn’t get the same high (J) and low band (E and F) as some planes & helis, but it won’t “suffer” because of it just because it has a slightly bellow average RWR.
Adding an entirely new plane with new capabilities that Russia really doesn’t need compared to others (especially in terms of CAS) would be VERY unfair. Just because the Su-27 won’t be the best of the best for BVR (which I doubt will happen) doesn’t mean you need to overcompensate and add meta-breaking vehicles before we get to even use ARH’s again. Have you seen Italian, British, or Swedish air before the Grippen and how long it took for them to get competitive again?
Yak-141 is RU’s best dogfighter.
SMT is a good multirole
looks like we can bring an end to this discussion, the dev blog for FOX-3 is posted and it seems to tease both the F-15C and Su-27SM as both are seen firing FOX-3s not only that but the Su-27 has the SM deep blue cammo along with the smaller IRST
They haven’t truly “teased” either of those and I hope its for a later update and not next update, R-77 can be used by Mig-29SMT, Aim-120 can be used on F-16C just like how it was on the dev server test and I hope they actually leave it at that for now. Germany has literally 0 options to counter this thing unless they get the swiss F-18C. The only true “tease” is F-15J MSIP or F-2A/B (with J/ARG-1) as those are the only planes that can use AAM4 and have already been confirmed to get added.
