@Smin1080p_WT Ay Smin 🙏, sorry for interrupting your Sunday
I got two questions, what are the plans for Israel top-tier jets? Leaks suggest that aircraft such as Rafale and Typhoon may come next update for different nations, would there be a possibility for Israel to get the F15I Ra’am-Late any time soon?
Also, with very advanced missiles coming to the game in the next years, are the devs considering or have already tested missile jammers such as ALE-70 used on F35 and F18?
As far as A2A is concerned the F-15I is currently the best jet in the game so I wouldn’t expect any updates to the Israeli air tree until they add the Python 4 but that will likely just be an addition to existing jets rather than a new (late) variant.
However, IRL F15I is getting upgraded with the AESA AN/APG82V1 which I think it should be way closer to typhoons radar and such
I’m just worried that I’m gonna get dunked on by typhoons without a chance while F15E is NOT in any way overperforming by ANY means and Typhoon would literally be way faster, more maneuverable and also carry +2 more missiles than I do in my F15I, so that would be an actual OP vehicle, I mean if people are being scared by F15Es, wait till you see Typhoon.
US will literally have at best a decent jet while Germany, UK, Italy and more will be allowed to dominate by far, US and Israel will fall behind by a considerable margin and Russia will be unplayable…So I doubt the devs will let US fall behind, the only logical upgrades are AESA F15Es with better missiles, if you have better ideas plz respectfully inform me
yes it is, significantly. Should be 14.0 or 14.3 compared to most other aircraft currently in game. It is steam rolling most ARB matches without any competition.
Same speed, Same climb rate. Yes it will be more nimble. You will have to use the F-15 like a BVR truck instead of a turn fighter. Kinda like Britain does with the Tornado F3 vs F-16 or Germany does with the ICE vs F-15
Most likely loadout for it will be 6x IR and 4x BVR, but 4x IR and 6x BVR might be possible for it, so the F-15 still holds an advantage with max number of AMRAAMs.
Also the Typhoon could be severly handicapped via BOL, with the F-15 ending up with somewhere in the region of 3-4x the number of CMs
This has been the US for the past 2 years with the exception of R-27ERs that have been extremely annoying to deal with from the Soviets/Germany
Never said it was overperforming, I said it was the best currently in game
Look at Russia’s current situation, it isn’t beyond comprehension that the major nations fall behind a bit, and TBH that isn’t the end of the world.
Best case for the US is the introduction of the F/A-18 and maybe the AIM-120C but I think the 120C is very unlikely with the AMRAAM already being the overall best missile.
Besides I don’t think the F-15E/I will be anywhere near as bad as you say they will.
Well it isn’t really a BVR truck considering that it only(funnily) has 8 missiles while typhoon could reliably turn fight and also BVR with its 10 missile slots, so I think its a bit crazy for half of the nations in war thunder to have such an upgrade over me while I could happily get at least an AESA radar to help with faster detection and reliability
I’m not saying that US/Israel should dominate, but typhoon should literally be an F15E (half the size) with 2 more missiles and also less speed bleed and I think Typhoon is a bit faster than F15E because it also has supercruise which should mean less fuel used per battle
That’s an exaggeration, US will probably always be above all, but it hasn’t been crazily overpowered, but most people play US jets so you get the feeling that US jets are so much better while there are literally max 3 players that play with F4F and etc
The very gaijin solution is to replace the event kfir with JF-17 Block III(AZ), give it SD-10 instead of PL-15E, and call it a day. Kfir goes to premium because it is also very gaijin.
Not even F18E would make competition unless they give it 9X too, since F18E should bleed way more speed, I mean I would rather have my insane F15E dragster than a semi slugish speed bleeder that only has 10 missiles with a bit more range + israel cant get F18
The closest and only equivalent to the F-15E for Italy, Britain and Germany is the Typhoon, For france that is Rafale.
except they objectively are. Using your own metrics. the F-15E has 2x more missile than the gripen and is faster with double the number of possible BVR missiles (and in the case of BRitain, VASTLY superior ARH missiles)
Choice A) add the Typhoon, Choice B) Remove the F-15E, that is the onyl way to maintain baalnce currently
Thinking about it, the only reasons why it doesn’t feel like the US is as dominant as they currently are is because A) it’s constantly US vs US and B) a lot of F-15 pilots in game are straight up ass.
“dominate” sorry but you’re dramatizing, literally for the past 6 matches I been killed by anything but F15Es, ofc people got dunked on by the first people that got and spaded F15Es, I got killed alot by F15Es, but now I swear it isn’t that bad and every update happens that at top tier, the only thing that F15Es has is its speed, you still need to know how to play if you want to perform
Not a monopoly, but definitely ahead of the rest by a good bit. And we have our own 6th gen program, which at least for the navy is farther along than the GCAP and Tempest
Dude you can happily play with the other gets you people are dramatizing, F15E is the best one, there has always been a “best” jet, its not the end of the world and also Typhoon has 10 missiles
I mean wait, it has an extended pylon thing so it could carry +1 on each side i think, but who says gaijin wont just add them with full missile load yk
