Im fairly certain those are there just for ferrying not actually use. But i could be wrong.
I mean, they probably wouldn’t work at all, it’s just weird that they would put in the work to model a new carrier just for one plane while going for a makeshift solution when it comes to some other planes
Thats more of an F-15EX thing, golden eagle is pretty much nickname for latest upgrades for 15Cs in US service, AN/APG-63v3,. new EWAR pack, avionics, IRST/Sniper pods and so on. Pretty much new thing from insides. Never seen these rails for 15C but iirc they might go CFT way.
It should be also lighter due to cables but not by much.
This is real thing on EX, they want to use them as spamraam platform where 120Ds will be guided via datalink from different platform preferably.

I’m hoping the success of Kuznetsov (more than it’ll ever have irl lmao) means we’ll see a return of carrier spawns in ARB and other modes.

if they were to add this for F35A its literally gonna be the best jet ever, best CAS + extremely decent fighter, its literally the epitome of multirole jets

Yeah, I would love to see carriers on more maps and for maps with carriers to appear more frequently again
It’s an embarrassment on Gaijin’s part that they let US top-tier grb get this bad. They could of least limit US teams to 4 click baits per match rather than a whole team of them just for other nations to farm. Plus they seem to completely ignore all the Abrams bug reports that were summited a year ago which would help this tank out a bit. Sepv3 should have been added ages ago but this dev team seems to have prioritized air over ground for over a year at this point when it comes to US. Also, the state of US helis is at the point of why do they even have them in the game, they are basically useless when it comes to top tier with lacking F&F. Currently the win rates are even worse right now with the ongoing SU34 spam you barely win any matches. I don’t see any fixes for the foreseeable future I would much rather them take top tier US out of the game then keep them in this trash state.

I suppose MiG-29SMT (9-19) and Su-27SM armed R-73M
For F-15I Ra’am, decompressed max battle rating to 14.0 if gajin add Python 4
Python 4 to replace AIM-9M but removed medium-range Air-to-Air Missile AIM-7M, AIM-120A and Derby from F-16C & F-16D Block 40 Barak

and wahts funny is that European nations would have the superior F-35 in game with Meteor for BVR. UK would have ASRAAMs as well.

Just the US helis, huh
nah probably they will prioritize aim260 for US only, or maybe even aim 174 and also asraam is literally aim132
They are dominating which can be clearly seen by win ratios and kd’s. You shouldn’t have an opinion on that since you mention people who “need to know if they want to perform”, yet you have 26 planes and you have a negative k/d in EVERY SINGLE ONE. I have both russian and american top tier and only the su27sm has a higher k/d than the american aircraft (1.7), which i have played much less in. The rest of my Russian aircraft hang at low 1.3’s in K/d, while most of my american top tier is 1.5+. Or if i go slightly down for example, my av8b+ and f5e, or even the f104 all have k/d’s of 3 which is insane. No other planes in my playercard reach those numbers, apart from maybe the gripen when it was still cracked

Yes, it has an Aim designation, but the US never used it.

I don’t remember the US actually picking up the ASRAAMs
AIM-260 isn’t in service yet, AIM-174 won’t fit and, AIM-132 was rejected by the US in favour of the AIM-9X
Nope, they were going to, and then pulled out and developed the Aim-9X instead which is overall inferior.

Interesting that is a lot of ordinance. What are they preparing for mission 11 project wingman?
you can say aim260 has 200 kms range (like meteor) just for balance we dont need to take it so religiously, or aim120D3, does it rlly matter? I mean if you think about it even AIM120A’s stat card in game has 0 confirmation of it actually being true, the only thing we know is that the first models didnt necessarily have more than 20kms of no escape zone
at the end of the day its just a game, so probably just assuming some ranges wouldnt be the end of the world, that if you dont want CIA to just delete the game and lock everyone up LOL
given meteors NEZ is around 50-60km, 20km nez on 120A is pretty damn good
