im pretty sure it can have 16 AMRAAM/aim260 or theoretically 22 peregrine missiles if those are ever tested
there has been some promotional art showing 20 AMRAAM but am unsure if the pylons exist
completely unrelated but there are photos of f15C with 12 AMRAAM
Hopefully we do, even tho I’d prefer to see the SM2 added before the 35. Which might sound silly since we literally just got the 30SM D:
maybe they come with aircraft
What do you mean?
like when the aircraft is introduced they come on the aircraft
Su-35S would be pretty cool
5th gens this christmas sounds like a fever dream
as if that won’t make all the difference and is not a significant improvement
BRO IM PRAYING FOR THE F14D pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeasssssssssseeeee gaijubles
Will the F14D bring any CAS improvements?
no i dont thinks so mostly A2A improvements with new weapons and cobra button
Did it carry AIM9X?
boeing states 12 from what i remember - but theoreticly yes, there is double rail for CFTs(even patent on them)
we went from the f-15c to the f-15e in a few months,
the powercreep rn is crazy
aim 9m-10 i think was last one not certain
In fact , they have.
The actual top tier for US should be like this.
F-15C MSIP II → F-15C (AN/APG-63(v)3 AESA
F-15E → F-15E (AN/APG 82(v)1 AESA → F-15EX
F/A-18C late → F-14D (APG-71/AIM-54C+ dual plane etc. ECM resistance etc.) → F/A-18E BLOCK I (APG-73) → F/A-18E Block II (APG-79) → F/A-18 BlockIII (2021) (APG-79) - { by pilots, F-14D was better than F/A-18E Block I in …everything , so you can even change what goes where} .
F-16C Block 50 → F-16C ( USAF F-16s don’t use a Block number or letter currently , but sport the equipment of F-16V…call it F-16C Very Late , i don’t know ) .
We don’t really need to go 5th Gens. Too much classifieds , too much wikiguestimation , up to gen 4,5 is perfect and they are operating side by side with gen 5s anyway…
About Su-35S , they can bring it tomorrow , it’s not that they we don’t have other gen 4,5s.
Just have their weapons /radars to an as much equivalent as possible version (version , not state-not everything the same) .
Also,
MiG 29SMT → MiG 29M ->MiG 35S
wouldnt fix issue with lack of BFM capability, in game where BVR is entirely useless if enemy has braincells
same as before, useless.
14D isnt toptier material even, especially with only AIM-54(even tho theyre better than previous, gaijin simply doesnt want to change them)
if youre talking about AESA on USAF F-16C - program itself named RMP
same as for current planes mostly, especially in weapon part
F-16E and F-16V exist tho
The Eagle II has better engines than the Strike Eagle, would help a lot
both of them are export
gaijin might just not add them at all
nope, in case of perfomance theyre mostly same
if USA will put GE-132 here - yes.
Raw thrust yes, but combined with the advanced fly by wire it’s significantly more maneuverable
