If I had the time to do that, I would. Sometimes I skim them. If they pop up in game, I read it
Besides, your own point is trumped by the fact that the American ‘High-Low’ doctrine is already satisfied by the combination of the F-16C Blk-50 and F-15C/E, meaning that america already has aircraft that satisfy it’s ‘strategy’ as you claim
What I am attempting to disprove is @kitsune_qq 's take that america suffers because export variants are better in game (they currently are not), and in turn offering an alternative viewpoint the the F-15I (and by extension all other Israeli top tier jets) have the potential to co-exist with the US equivalents, but with their own domestic weaponry/equipment; I’m not claiming one has to be explicitly better, just have the Israeli one be genuinely unique, because the IAF is one of the only operators of US 4th gens that has taken their modifications beyond the point of operating simple export models, and instead developing their F-16s/F-15s/F-35s into completely separate and unique variants that deserve to be represented in game
could
That doesn’t even seem remotely right. I only ever see positive A-10Cs, it’s childplay.
Israel purchased extra radars with their F-15IA package to upgrade the current fleet of Ra’am to AESA as well as bringing the F-15IA into service, besides there have been far more dubious additions made to top tier jets
are theyre already bought, or planning?
The deal was completed last year, they will be delivered over the course of the decade
Good to see that you seem to lack object permanence, given I proved such to be true with your own data less than a few days ago.
In this case, an AESA F-15I and E would be pretty balanced against each other. The E would have EPAWSS for 360CM, and they are ALE-47 dispenser so it can carry BriteCloud 218 active decoys. Would both have same radar but I think there is a weakened export model, from what I have read about the APG-82 it is better than the 81 by far, and they wouldn’t allow sale of that kind of tech to Qatar who afaik can’t buy F-35, so there must be an export variant like the APG-70I. F-15E would get GBU-53 and I would get spice 250. F-15E gets 120D-3 and 9X BLK 2, I gets 120C-8 or Derby’s and P5. If the I gets Popeyes, the E should get JASSM’s. I would get a litening variant I think, and E would get Sniper pod
Current ones could coexist if I got spice 250, and E got GBU-53 (without radar seeker)
I just believe everything I see. I’m not naive.
Seeing how games commonly play out, I played 2 sim matches yesterday. 12.0 was top.
The amount of F-4S zomber spam was great.
There were a few a-10as and 1 a-10c.
Guess who was in first place with 17,429 score?
The A-10C! He had more air to air kills than anyone (I was in second place flying my F-4S).
And all the while, that A-10C was ground striking / bombing bases too.
@Forum Moderators
Can whomever hid my original post, tell me what i apparently need to fix for it to be visible? Not sure why it was hidden in the first place
People dont realize the A10C paired with the Mirage F1C, is very undertiered in sim.
Like, what was gaijin even thinking when they decided to put that monstruosity at 11.7?
That thing could be uptiered to 12.0 or 12.3 and still perform completely fine.
Its basically a seal-clubbing machine.

One of the Mirage F1Cs is a premium so, you know, but I hope they’ll at least fix the A-10C. Data link at 11.7 💀

Just with numbers alone, The mirage F1C rules the 11.7 bracket.
Every time im scrolling through the lobbies available at 11.7, i see 70% of every nato team is made of french players.
Goes to show you that the premium spam is just that crazy

Mig-23ML as well. 11.3 is unplayable for bluefor because the Mig-23ML spam and the fact no one has a counter until 11.7 maybe, but more like 12.0

I was playing MiG-23MLD a little bit recently and I had 100% of control over every fight. There is nothing that can contest it at 11.3 maybe besides british phantoms because they at least have pdv radars. It should be at 11.7 next to the F-4J/S - its true counterpart.
F-5s are a pretty good counter.
So I cannot agree.
If properly played F-4a also are good
F-1 and T-2 are also super good
PDV hardly drops lock when chaffed, but the Sapphire instantly drops lock upon chaff.
Yeah, British phantoms are it, but they are too rarely played to be any major threat.
What does it have for ir aams? Aim-9H or G?
