The article phrases it weirdly, its just the internal armament we know
I’d honestly like to see a second devblog for today, but unlikely
that could hint towards ARMs coming in december update
today isn’t very long anymore
No, thats a reach.
The Su-17M4 in game can also carry the Kh-28 ARM, with an extra pod attached to help with targetting.
I’d reach very far if it gets me ARMs

Wrong, the Peace Rhine carried 9Ls
Can it also carry any Fox-2 or Fox-3 missiles with that loadout?
Am I correct to assume that the KH-29TE is the extended range version of the KH-29T?
E literally stands for ‘Extended Range’.
So your assumption is correct.
The version that carried the 9L was an upgraded version of the F-4F that also had a aerial refueling probe, so really the version in game should only carry the AIM-9F though IDK if that is better or worse than the AIM-9J it has
thus R-27ER has longer range?
9F is the US name for 9B F.GW 2
that would certainly earn it a huge decrease in BR

Exactly.
Ok so I was right then, the F-4F we have in game did only carry the AIM-9B
not quite
there is a noticeable difference between 9B and 9F it’s just not modelled in game
9F had a caged seeker but the track rate of a 9J which would make it a bit harder to dodge than 9B
ah ok, still it’s enough of a case for the F-4F ICE getting AIM-120Cs if necessary, so long as it’s compatible I think Gaijin would allow it for balance reasons
that’s exactly the problem
see if it was compatible I don’t see why they had 120B and 120C in inventory at the same time
after all the german typhoons in the early days used AiM-120Cs and not the Bs they still had in stock and even kept buying until the F4F left service in 2011
No, the tech tree F-4F in game could carry 9Ls.
“The “Peace Rhine” programme in the early 1980’s introduced improved radar capabilities and the ability to deploy the AIM-9L and electro-optically guided AGM’s.”

if it was compatible I don’t see a point in either getting new Cs for the typhoon to bridge the time until Meteor is ready or still using the Bs on the F4F even tho more advanced Cs are in inventory
