The new version of the American tech tree F15-E, F-18C (late) should get AIM-120c7 to adapt to the current WT air combat landscape

Correct, the thing though, the c5 was designed for the F-22 because they wanted it to fit in the bays. That’s why it has the clipped fins. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it was the c5

17

The Aim-120C was designed for that IIRC. With the Aim-120C (no number) being an Aim-120B with clipped wings not specifically the C5.

Gotcha. Appreciate it

19

yeah sure but everything else including the f16c and f15c can carry it so i dont see why the ef2ks should get it though they already the best platforms for bvr

20

My comment wasn’t about that XD someone mentioned the F-22 so just had to threw a little funny in there XD

21

Because the Typhoon isnt really all that much stronger in that regard than the F-15E. In Several areas its actually currently weaker than the F-15E.

If the F-15E gets Aim-120C5s, then so should the Typhoon. Also the C5s improved HOBS ability (if modeled) helps put the Typhoon on par with the Rafale.

22

until we see 5th gens nothing will be on par with the rafale

23

Typhoon would be if buffed up to IRL performance. Actually Typhoon should be stronger

24

you can shoot a mica in a notch from a mem lock btw

26

Yes, I know

27

i agree but rn rafale is so far up even witha buff it wont catch up

28

my point is if gaijin is giving aircraft their proper loadout then all aim120s(in the game or to be added) including the latest ons should be on all aim 120 capable jets theoratically

30

Then so should Meteor for the Typhoon and Rafale then?

31

yeah but when the meteor gets added…that’s what am saying…theyd probably be moved up in br

32

The EFT and company dominate everything the US is fielding right now and have since they were added. They either should not get the C-5 or the US can get the C-7. If you want to balance things, thats a better step for it and doing nothing like people are saying. The Rafale even got a massive buff thanks to the MICA-EM buff.

33

You don’t need it.

34

Then F-15E/I doesnt Aim-120C5 and Su-30SM didnt need R-77-1

The most dominant fighters, that being the EFT/Rafale/Typhoon, do not need a futher buff. The F-15 has been dethrowned since they were added. It can have the C-5.

36

So you want the F-15E to dominate in BVR once again without competition?

37

A fighting chance isnt existing without competition.
