The F-15C shouldn’t get them, as it would invalidate the F-15E for air and remove one of the best 13.7 fighters. An F-15C Late should be added some time in the future with AIM-9X bl 1s and AIM-120C-5/7s.

It would absolutely improve the Eurofighter.
However, so would it for… everything else.
The pecking order wouldn’t change.
However, 13.0-13.7 would get absolutely murdered as they were by the pre-nerf AIM-120A/B.
Adding them ONLY to the F/A-18C made sense because it propped them against the murderous bloody machines that are the Typhoon and Rafale on the current meta.
You may even stretch further and say the F-15E deserved it, being currently outclassed on its gimmick (BVR) by the other two members of trinity.
(And that is debatable; it completely preys on the poor souls that are 13.0 pilots.)
However, the Eurofighter (and the Rafale eventually receiving its MICA-EM buff) just makes it completely pointless, because the meta is even more firmly cemented and the lower planes now simply struggle even more to match them.
It changes precisely nothing.
For the top-dogs, anyway.
Just for the people that suffer from powercreep. These get to eat more warhead payload.
No to the F-15E which was dethrowned by the Eurofighter and has been but yes to the Eurofighter because why? Bias is showing. The EFT and company do not need it. No idea why it was given to them.
Captor-M suffers or something (it doesn’t)
So…their radar being “bad” is a justification for giving them a missile they don’t need?
Why?
I mean as it stands the 120C-5 isnt even a better HOB missile. It’s missing the better AOA and retains the maneuvering delay of the 120A/B, which completely kills the whole purpose of the missile.

Saying this after the C-5 was nerfed in that aspect is kind of ironic.

But I still don’t understand why one of the most dominant fighters, especially in Sim, needs it? Gaijin gimping US tech is nothing new. But the EFT is fine without. It makes no sense.
Because the CAPTOR-M is not only the worst top tier radar, but also worse than some early PD radars. The Typhoon is not dominant. It is not even close to dominant. Hell, it’s not even within the top three fighters.
LMAO. We just straight up lying now?
Double LMAO. It’s not only in the top 3, it’s 3 of the top 5.
But I would love to hear your rating if you really think it’s that bad.

this is not true, you are wrong
Some people, man.
This is true, you are wrong, just check thread with more attention for proofs, before saying anything
its not
Then, proof it
Most likely you will find just cries. Anyway - captor is still better than APG-70 in terms of range, gimbal limits, has fully modelled NCTR, better scan areas. While trading off a bit of stability and speed.

Absolute cinema
And the fact that TWS struggles to pick up targets that Blue Vixen would easily be able to, and that it randomly sometimes decides to break lock. CAPTOR-M is the worst top tier radar.

Usa doesn’t suffer in any regard at all.
Ive got usa in top tier both air and ground.
Stop lying 😑😂
