Well, we’re well beyond that now with the LMUR anyways.

@Smin1080p_WT Could u explain me why F15E and F15I got 14.0 but, Gripen C hase the same 13.7, SU34 hase the same 13.3, Su34 hase PESA, Rafale(14.0) has AESA, why F15E\I got 14.0
It does not matter if there was no mention of BMD 4 specifically. We have not received any variant of the BMD so far, and now that we are going to get a new variant, it is a premium. It does not make a difference.
Because it’s litteraly the best plane at top tier right now by a wide margin ?

Ah, 5 fighter aircraft from dev server battle rating to 14.0
I might believe F-16C Blk 50, JAS 39C EBS HU, JAS 39 Gripen C (RTAF), Su-27SM and F-15C MSIP II BR up to 14.0 if some day gaijin add new infrared & active radar homing Air-to-Air Missile
though I think they will not add it, too long range even without loal
it’s also in the “won’t be added” list with other loal things

It can lock on directly from the helicopter as well. They could just gimp it for the sake of adding a longer range ATGM, you’d have to sacrifice entire pylons to carry it, so if you’re smart, you’re running 1 4x pod of (ideally) Verba MANPADS, and 5x1 LMUR’s.
It’s also got some heft, so for balance sake, they could just add it to replace rocket pylons so you could run 12x Vikhr, 2x LMUR, 8x Verba/IGLA.
F&F S-24… Dear God…

What are you trying to say? I just see images, lol.
why 5, I think there is a 2x pylon, so 8 at most
I mean in theory, but I haven’t seen any mockups yet where they’d fit on the Ka-52, the Mi-24’s and Mi-28’s have been rocking them though.
In theory, the Mi-8’s can carry them too. Would be kind of fun for at least one of the Mi-8’s to get them, would kind of be like the USSR/Ru equivalent of the Spike UH-60’s.

In my humble opinion, the F-15I’s AGM-65D should have been introduced during the Firebirds update. It would have made sense then, both in terms of balance and relevance. Adding it now, when other nations are getting significantly more advanced counterparts like the AASM, feels like a missed opportunity. The AGM-65D is effectively dead-on-arrival in this context.
Furthermore, the power creep brought by munitions like the Kh-38, which has been around since the Alpha Strike update, only exacerbates this issue. It puts the F-15I at an even greater disadvantage, as it has to compete against far more capable weaponry without offering anything particularly new or competitive.
And that leads to the heart of the matter, uniqueness. What makes the F-15I any different from the American F-15E? Right now, there’s little to no distinction, and that’s a missed opportunity. Israel’s tech tree should highlight its indigenous weaponry and unique capabilities, giving players a compelling reason to choose it over the American counterpart.
The appeal of playing as a minor nation lies in showcasing its distinctive characteristics. The F-15I deserves better than being relegated to a copy-paste of its U.S. counterpart with outdated weapons. Gaijin should really start balancing the game in a way that respects both performance and the uniqueness of minor nations.

Well clearly the US should be on that list as they’re in dire need of the F-18.
Just ignore the nations who actually need a new top tier jet, what’s one more patch to be left behind? :p
