Boeing confirms 12

22 might have been a typo in early stage of project. you would need to have a seriously wierd loadout to get 22 amraams
No, technically it can carry up to 24 but it is only cleared for 12 officially until they finish current integration, testing, etc. Afaik the currently in-service F-15EX’s have not been equipped with the CFT’s required to mount additional missiles.

thats 4 quad racks (2 per wing) and 4 double CFT racks right?
Sounds right, but we will see what it ends up being cleared with ultimately. Technically I think the F-22 can carry up to 22 missiles as well if it feels like mounting the quad racks.
i heard the quad racks are only good for transporting missiles a little while back, is this just untrue or has there been a development in this area?
would be pretty nice to have 22 AMRAAM or maybe JATM on an F-22
Community Bug Reporting System just noticed sudo’s report on su-34 max speed was accepted. I’m excited to see what will be the dev’s final position
The quad packs are designed to launch AMRAAM’s offensively, not just carry them. That’s what cargo aircraft are for.
The quad pack was first designed in an effort to sell F-15’s in ~2016 through an upgrade known as the “Eagle 2040C”.

Me when I shoot off 6 of the longest range missiles in game at a single player. (None of them hit. This process will repeat tenfold)
I’m kinda waiting for the devs to respond: “Nah”
Also not sure what’s going on with these:

Relying on “estimations” over primary sources …
And not taking into account that the FP variant could have more advanced and more expensive weight reduction techniques applied to its design and construction to compensate for the longer length and additional thrust vectoring stuff.
For a 4-channel PESA I wouldn’t be surprised if it could guide 4, but it’s more than likely some nuance I don’t know about
Max speed is 1350 on the deck, 1530 is nothing but its structural limit at 0m.

Was this a tech mod response or dev response, I’m curious
I would imagine a dev
1530 is its speed on the deck in the game.
1350 is the max speed according to manufacturer. It well could be structural limit, but it’s not clear. I left it to Gaijin to interpret.
If it’s structural limit then its Vne has to be reduced from 1540 to 1.1 * 1350 = 1485.
1.05 is the multiplier used to my understanding.
Flankers use 1.1
Su-27SK manual specifies 1400 on the deck, in the game it has 1540 Vne
real russia bias
Anything to show that developers purposely use 1.1 multiplier? Maybe like a dev response?
